CHAPTER 4 - Other Objects

This chapter discusses how to edit the rest of the object types. You pop up
an object window the same way as before: From the command center, select the
desired type from the Object type button. Select the object you wish to edit
in the Object name list. Push the Edit  button.

Master Setting Objects
A master setting object is a KLIB-only object type that you don+t find in the
K2000. It is simply a collection of global settings for the synthesizer.
Referring to the figure above, the Effect panel is the equivalent of the
global effect page. You can select an effect object or edit the wet/dry mix
only if you have chosen the master mode. The pressure and velocity maps refer
to the ones you set in the MIDI receive page in the K2000. The output controls
are the ones you find in the master mode page. Double-click on these fields
to toggle their values.

The Channel Table
The channel table lets you select the outgain and outpair parameters for each
of the 16 channels. In addition, you enable or disable a channel by
double-clicking a cell in the  channel number columns. When you disable a
channel, the corresponding cell is left blank. Double-click again to enable
it. When you download this object to the K2000, each channel will be turned on
or off according to your setting, along with the other parameters.

The Download List
The download list is a collection of objects attached to a master setting.
Members of the list can be objects of any type except the master setting type.
This list lets you collect objects that you use for a particular song and
download them in one shot. To add an object to the download list, select
it from the command center, and drag-drop the Object ID button into the
download list area of the master setting window, as shown on the left.
See Chapter 2 for drag-dropping. To remove an object from the list, select it
in the list, and type the del  key. To download the list, drag-drop from the
Download List text label to the Download  button, as shown on the right. Note
that pushing the Download button only downloads the other contents of the
master setting object, not the download list itself.

Keymap Objects
Keymap each row in the keymap table displays a range of keys with the same set
of parameters. The first two columns define the range. Use the soft alpha
wheel to change the range. The key range indicator above the keymap table
gives a visual indication of the position of the range. Each interval
represents an octave. When you change a range in the keymap, the entire table
will be affected. For example, if you modify the hi of the first row from  f5
to  f#5 , the second row will disappear because you have changed the
definition of f#5 to be the same as f5. Click on a cell under the sample
column. A floating list box of sample names appears. This is a member object
field. The at column shows the root key of the sample. This field cannot be
edited. To change the root key of the sample, click the cell under the idx
column. This cell represents the index of the root key at the sample object.
The sample and at  cells are displayed only if the member sample object exists
in the file. The rest of the  row is edited with the soft alpha wheel as
usual.

To add a key range to the keymap table, select a row by clicking on the at
column and type the ins key. KLIB temporarily creates a new row above the
selected row containing lo key of the selected row. You should immediately
edit the parameters of the new row. If you don+t, KLIB will collapse the two
rows back into one the next time it redisplays the keymap table when it sees
that the two key ranges have identical parameters. You can create a new key
range only from a row that contains more than one key in its range.

Velocity Levels
The top part of the keymap window controls the velocity levels of the keymap.
You select the number of velocity levels by the checking the buttons labeled
1, 2, or 3. For example, if the current number of velocity levels is 1 and you
check 3, you+ll be adding two additional velocity levels to the keymap.
Similarly, checking a number lower than the current number of levels deletes
velocity levels.

The set of buttons in the upper right hand panel selects the velocity level
you want to edit. The keymap table below displays the content of the velocity
level you selected. The arrow buttons between the velocity level buttons
control the switch points between each pair of velocity levels. In the example
above, if you push the right-arrow button between the first pair, the labels
will change to  ppp-mp and mf-f

Effect Objects
The effect object consists of simply a configuration and a list of parameters.
The parameter list changes with the configuration you selected. You edit each
of parameter field with the soft alpha wheel.

Quick Access Objects
The quick access object contains programs and setups. To replace an entry in
the quick access table, drag-drop a program or setup object from the command
center to the target entry row as shown on the left.

Velocity and Pressure Map Objects
The velocity and pressure maps share the same window format. Each is
represented by line graph and the Data table below the graph. You can modify a
map in either representation. To modify it using the Data table, simply click
in the cells to pop up the soft alpha wheel. The x-axis of the graph denotes
velocity levels and the y-axis denotes the eight dynamic levels ( ppp - fff ).
To modify the map graphically, click anywhere inside the graph panel. The
dynamic level buttons appear. Each button represents a dynamic level in the
map and is labeled as such. Drag a button around to change that level+s value.
When the velocity values are very close, the buttons can overlap or cover up
each other. To bring the desired button to the top, click the
corresponding cell in the Data table. To exit graphical editing, click
anywhere inside the panel again without pushing any button.

Intonation Table Objects
The intonation table contains only two columns displaying the adjustment to
pitches in an octave. The semitone column adjusts the pitch by semitones and
the cent column adjusts by cents. Use the soft alpha wheel to  modify the
values.

Sound Block (Sample) Objects
The sound block object shows the parameters governing a sample. Each row in
the table displays the parameters of a sample root. The first column displays
the root key. The next two columns display the volume adjustments. The 4th
column displays the pitch adjustment and is in units of cents. Edit them with
the soft alpha wheel. Due to round-off errors in floating point computation,
the pitch adjust may be one off from the K2000+s display when you download it.

The last 5 columns show the various memory locations of the sample roots.
Click on any of these cells. A floating edit box appear to let you enter a new
number (except the abs addr column). Type   enter  when you+re done or   esc
to cancel it. All numbers displayed  are offsets from the absolute address of
the sample. Thus, when you first pop up a sound block window, the  start
column is always zero. Any change you made to this column will be added to the
abs addr column when you close and save the changes to the window. Note that
each time you load a sample, the K2000 may assign different memory locations
to the sound data. Therefore, do not assume that the numbers in these columns
are  always valid (in sync). However, if the sample you edited is a ROM
object, then you can safely assume that the memory locations won+t change.

That+s it for the KLIB Users+ Guide. Have fun!
