Assigning Samples to the Touch Keyboard
The Touch Keyboard sounds depend on the drumkit selected.
To use the Samples it is necessary to assign one or more
drumkits to substitute the sounds normally used. Assigning
Samples to a drumkit is carried out in the DISK mode.
1. Load the Sample from disk.
2. Press [DISK] to return to the DISK mode.
3. Find the “DISK: Select Kit” function using [PAGE>]:
4. Select the drumkit with the [TEMPO-DATA] buttons. Use
[PAGE>] to find the parameter you want. Edit that param-
eter with the [TEMPO-DATA] buttons. Return to the drumkit
using [PAGE<].
The parameter can be “Intern” (the Touch Keyboard uses
the internal sounds, that is, the original ones), “Extern”
(where the Touch Keyboard uses external ones, the Sam-
ples ) or “Empty” (which means the Sample is not in
memory and internal sounds must be used).
5. Use the [ESC] buttons to exit the MIDI mode.
How to Save data to disk
To save to disk there will have to be enough space available
on that disk to contain the new data. If there is not then for-
mat a new disk.
The memory contents can be saved in an existing file (all the
previous data is erased), or you can create a new file.
1. Insert the disk into which you want to load data into the
disk drive.
2. Press [DISK] to enter the DISK mode.
3. Find the “DISK: Select-Save” function using the [PAGE>]
buttons.
4. Press [DISK] to start the Save operation.
5. Use [PAGE] to select the type of file required (the exten-
sions to choose from are: “.ALL”, “.SCD”, “.STY”, “.SNG”).
6. Press [DISK] to view the type of file selected on the disk.
7a.If you want to substitute an existing file, select the file re-
quired using the [TEMPO-DATA] buttons. Press [DISK] to
save the data. When “Save/sure?” appears, confirm by
pressing [DISK] or cancel with the [ESC] buttons.
7b. If you want to create a new file, press [NAME] on the
keypad. The CD30 makes itself ready to receive the new
file name:
Use the keypad to key in the letters/numbers (each key
has three characters, which appear one after the other in
cycles each time the key is pressed).
Press [PAGE>] to move forwards one space. Press
[PAGE<] to go back one space.
Press [DISK] to save the data. When the “Save/sure?”
message appears confirm it with [DISK].
Reading GEM WS disks
Compatibility with the GEM WS series
GEM WS series keyboards are now no longer in production,
but their musical library is one of the largest in the world.
The CD30 can read Song Patterns and Prog.Styles from disks
in WS format, converting them into in RealSongs and Prog.
Styles. RealSongs and Styles can be saved to disk as nor-
mal CD30 data.
GEM WS Series Song Patterns
The GEM WS has a five track sequencer, through which it is
possible to create Song Patterns. GEM WS Song Patterns
are similar, even though not completely identical, to the CD30
RealSongs.
Conversion changes the GEM WS Song Pattern tracks into
CD30 Song tracks:
GEM WS CD30
Track A (usually Drums) Acc2
Track B Bass
Track C Acc1
Track D Lower
Track E Upper
Drum: is disactivated (Off)
GEM WS Series Prog.Styles
