Introduction

Main features

1. Analog modeling system

The MS2000/MS2000R provides eight types of oscillator algorithms, including waveforms of analog synthesizers, and places the most important sound parameters on the front panel so that you can modify sounds as you play or perform a variety of realtime editing, with the same ease of operation as on an analog synthesizer.

2. 128 programs

The MS2000/MS2000R contains a total of 128 programs, with 16

each in banks A–H.

3. Virtual Patch function

Not only EG and LFO, but also velocity and keyboard tracking can be used as modulation sources, and assigned to parameters that make up the sound, giving you even more freedom to create sounds.

4. MOD SEQUENCE

MOD SEQUENCE is a step sequencer that lets you apply time-varying change to sound parameters in a way similar to analog synthesizers of the past.

5. External input waveforms can be processed

A waveform input from the AUDIO IN 1, 2 jacks can be processed in the same way as the internal waveforms.

Basic Guide

How a program is structured

The programs of the MS2000/MS2000R can be classiﬁed in one of two categories depending on the Voice mode setting (LCD Edit mode Page 01A: COMMON “Mode”): synth programs whose “Mode” is Single/Dual/Split, and vocoder programs whose “Mode” is Vocoder.

Synth programs

As shown in the diagram below, a synth program consists of timbres, effects, and an arpeggiator.

(in the case of Dual/Split)

Free Assign

KBD Track

Velocity

Free Assign

TIMBRE 1/2

A timbre consists of OSC1/OSC2/NOISE, MIXER, FILTER, AMP, EG, LFO, VIRTUAL PATCH, and MOD SEQUENCE. If the voice mode is Single, only TIMBRE 1 will sound. If the voice mode is Dual or Split, both timbres TIMBRE 1 and TIMBRE 2 will sound.

OSC1/OSC2/NOISE

OSC1 (Oscillator 1) allows you to select from eight different oscillator algorithms, including basic analog synthesizer waveforms such as SAW and PWM, Cross Modulation, and the DWGS (Digital Waveform Generator System) used on the Korg DW-8000 synthesizer. A waveform input from the AUDIO IN 1/2 jacks can also be processed.

OSC2 (Oscillator 2) allows you to select from three types: SAW, SQU, and TRI. It can also be used as a modulator oscillator for the Sync or Ring modulation characteristic of analog synthesizers.

NOISE (Noise Generator) produces white noise. This can be used for sound effects, etc.

MIXER

Here you can adjust the levels of OSC1, OSC2 and NOISE, and send the combined signal to the FILTER.

FILTER

The FILTER cuts or emphasizes frequency components of the signal from the oscillator, thus adjusting the tone (brightness, etc.). These ﬁlter settings will signiﬁcantly affect the sound. You can select from four types of ﬁlter: –12 or –24 dB/oct LPF (Low Pass Filter), –12 dB/oct BPF (Band Pass Filter), or –12 dB/oct HPF (High Pass Filter). Use EG1 to create time-variant changes in cutoff frequency.

AMP

This consists of AMP (Ampliﬁer), DIST (Distortion), and PAN (Panpot).

AMP sets the volume, and PAN sets the stereo location. Use EG2 to create time-variant changes in volume. You can produce hard\harsh tones by turning DIST on. By

adjusting the ﬁlter cutoff and resonance, strong effects can be produced.

EG1/2

An EG (Envelope Generator) applies a time-variant change to a sound parameter.

On the MS2000/MS2000R, there are two EG’s for each timbre. Each EG consists of four parameters: ATTACK (attack time), DECAY (decay time), SUSTAIN (sustain level), and RELEASE (release time).

EG1 is assigned as the envelope source that produces timevariant change in the FILTER cutoff frequency.

EG2 is assigned as the envelope source that produces timevariant change in the AMP volume.

If you wish to assign EG1 and EG2 to other parameters, you can make VIRTUAL PATCH settings to do so.

LFO 1/2

The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) applies cyclic change to sound parameters.

The MS2000/MS2000R provides two LFO’s for each timbre, each with four waveforms.

LFO1 is assigned as the modulation source for OSC1. LFO2 is assigned as the modulation source for the pitch

modulation controlled by the modulation wheel. If you wish to assign LFO1 and LFO2 to other parameters,

you can make VIRTUAL PATCH settings to do so.

IntroductionFront and rear panelConnectionsPlayingEditing

VIRTUAL PATCH

VIRTUAL PATCH allows you to use not only EG or LFO, but even velocity (keyboard playing dynamics) or keyboard tracking (the area of the keyboard you play) as modulation sources which can be assigned to sound parameters for greater freedom in creating sounds. Four routings (combinations) can be speciﬁed for each timbre.

EFFECTS

Each program has a modulation effect, delay, and equalizer. For a modulation-type effect, you can select from three

effects such as chorus. For a delay effect, you can select from three types of delay,

including a stereo delay.

MOD SEQUENCE

MOD SEQUENCE is a step sequencer that lets you apply time-variant change to various sound parameters in a way similar to analog synthesizers of the past.

Use the sixteen knobs on the front panel to set the value of each step, and playback to make the sound change.

You can also operate the knobs in realtime, and record their movements (parameter values) in each step (Motion Rec function).

Since each timbre can have up to three sequences, you can obtain very complex tonal changes.

ARPEGGIATOR

This is an arpeggiator with six types of arpeggio type. For a program whose voice mode is Dual/Split, arpeggios

can be played on one or both timbres. Since arpeggiator settings can be made for each program,

you can create and save an arpeggio type that is suitable for the sound of that program.

Vocoder programs

Vocoder programs consist of OSC1/NOISE, MIXER, VOCODER SEC., EFFECT, and ARPEGGIATOR. The vocoder takes a signal from the internal tone generator (OSC1/NOISE) or the AUDIO IN 1 jack, applies to it the characteristics of the signal that is input from the AUDIO IN 2 jack, and outputs the result. The most popular use for this is to input a voice from a mic connected to the AUDIO IN 2 jack, in order to create the effect of an instrument speaking.

OSC1/NOISE/AUDIO IN 1 jack (carrier)

The OSC1/NOISE signal will be the carrier to which the vocoder effect is applied. Waveforms that contain large numbers of overtones such as SAW and VOX WAVE are ideal for the carrier waveform.

It is also possible to apply the vocoder effect to a waveform that is input to the AUDIO IN 1 jack together with OSC1/ NOISE.

The volumes of OSC1/NOISE/AUDIO IN are adjusted by the MIXER, and the combined signal is output to the VOCODER SEC.

AUDIO IN 2 jack (modulator)

The signal that is input to the AUDIO IN 2 jack will be the modulator. In general, it is most common for a voice to be input to the modulator, but you can create unique effects by inputting rhythm sounds or other waveforms.

VOCODER SEC.

This consists of two sets of 16 band-pass ﬁlters (ANALYSIS FILTER and SYNTHESIS FILTER) and the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER.

The audio signal from the AUDIO IN 2 jack (modulator) is input to sixteen bandpass ﬁlters (ANALYSIS FILTER), and the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER detects the volume envelope (time-variant change) of each frequency band.

Then, the signal from the internal tone generator or the AUDIO IN 1 jack (carrier) is input to the other set of 16 band-pass ﬁlters (SYNTHESIS FILTER), and processed by the envelopes detected by the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER to modulate the carrier with the features of the voice, producing the impression that the instrument or sound is talking (vocoder effect).

It is also possible to use the FORMANT SHIFT or CUTOFF parameters to change each frequency of the carrier bandpass ﬁlter. This will cause the frequency response curve to be raised or lowered while preserving the character of the modulator, and will dramatically affect the tone.

Editing

Editing program parameters

Programs consist of a large number of parameters. In order to create a program from scratch, you will need to understand all of these parameters. Instead of this, we suggest that you select a factory preset program, and try editing it in order to understand each parameter.

Basic editing procedures

The basic procedures for editing are explained below. You can edit a program in Program Play mode or in LCD Edit mode.

1. Editing in Program Play mode

In Program Play mode, you can not only select and play a program, but also use the front panel knobs and keys to edit the sound of the program as you play, for example by adjusting the ﬁlter cutoff or slightly slowing the attack.

The parameters that correspond to each key will change value or be switched on/off each time you press the key, and their status will be shown by the LED or in the LCD screen.

The parameters that correspond to each knob can be adjusted in “analog” fashion as indicated by the markings around the knob.

For both knobs and keys, the ORIGINAL VALUE LED will light when their setting matches the original written value.

2. Editing in LCD Edit mode

Use LCD Edit mode to edit parameters for which there is no knob or key, or to edit while checking the parameter value in the LCD screen.

a. Enter LCD Edit mode

● Press the [EDIT] key.

You will enter LCD Edit mode. The upper line of the LCD screen will show the page number and the page name. The lower line will show the parameter name and value.

3. SYNTH Parameters

These are the parameters for synth programs (i.e., programs whose Page 01A: COMMON “Mode” is Single/Dual/Split). In the case of Dual/Split, use the front panel TMIBRE SELECT [SELECT] key to switch between the timbres for editing.

■ VOICE

These parameters specify how the timbre will be sounded, and set the MIDI channel.

Page03: VOICE

A: Assign .....................................[Mono, Poly, Unison]

Specify how the timbre will be sounded

Mono

The timbre will sound monophonically (single notes).

Poly

The timbre will sound polyphonically. A maximum of four voices (notes) can be played simultaneously. If “Mode” is Dual/Split, each timbre will sound the number of voices speciﬁed by “Timbre Voice.”

Unison

The timbre will sound in unison. If “Mode” is Dual/Split, each timbre will apply a unison effect with the number of voices speciﬁed by “Timbre Voice.”

If “Mode” is Dual/Split and the maximum polyphony of the timbre (“Timbre Voice”) has been set to 1 (note), the timbre will sound monophonically regardless of this setting.

B: MIDI ch ..............................................[GLB, 01...16]

Specify the MIDI transmit/receive channel of each timbre.

GLB

The global MIDI channel (set in Global mode Page 3A: MIDI “MIDI Ch”) will be used as the MIDI transmit/ receive channel of the timbre. Select GLB if you are playing the MS2000/MS2000R from its own keyboard or from a connected MIDI keyboard.

01...16

The speciﬁed channel will be used as the MIDI transmit/ receive channel of the timbre. When using the MS2000/MS2000R with a connected external MIDI sequencer, set the MIDI transmit/receive channel of each timbre to match the MIDI channel of the appropriate track of your MIDI sequencer. If the channel you select is the same as the global MIDI channel, a “G” will be displayed beside the setting.

C: Priority........................................... [Last, Low, High]

Specify which note on the keyboard will be sounded when you simultaneously play more notes than the number of voices speciﬁed for this timbre.

Last

The last-played note will be given priority.

Low

The lowest note on the keyboard will be given priority.

High

The highest note on the keyboard will be given priority.

D: Trigger ............................................... [Single, Multi]

Select the trigger mode. This speciﬁes whether retriggering will occur if you continue holding the ﬁrst-pressed note and play another note. This parameter will be displayed and can be set only if Page 03A: VOICE “Assign” is set to Mono/Unison.

Program parameters

E: Detune............................................[00cent...99cent]

Specify the amount of detuning (difference in pitch) that will be applied to notes sounded simultaneously by the Unison function. This parameter will be displayed and can be set only if “Assign” is set to Unison.

If the “Mode” is Dual/Split and the maximum polyphony (“Timbre Voice”) of the timbre is 1, this setting will have no effect.

■ PITCH

These are the pitch-related parameters.

Page04: PITCH

A: Transpose...............................................[–24...+24]

Adjust the pitch of the oscillator in semitone (100 cent) steps. The range is two octaves upward or downward.

Changes made by the front panel OCTAVE (or BANK/ OCTAVE) buttons actually shift the pitches assigned to the keyboard (or keys) in one-octave steps, and do not affect the pitch of the oscillator that is sounding. Nor are such settings saved by the Write operation. If you wish to change the pitch of the oscillator itself, you must use this “Transpose” setting to specify the pitch.

B: Tune ........................................... [–50cent...+50cent]

Adjust the pitch of the oscillator in one-cent steps. The range is –50 – +50 cents.

■ OSCILLATOR

These are the parameters that affect the waveform of the oscillator.

Page05: OSC 1

A: Wave ❮ WAVE ❯ ..............................[Saw...Audio In]

B: Control1 ❮ CONTROL1 ❯......................... [000...127]

C: Control2 ❮ CONTROL2 ❯.........................[000...127]

“Wave” selects the waveform for OSC1 (oscillator 1). “Control1” and “Control2” set parameters for the selected waveform. The parameters that you set will depend on the selected waveform.

Saw

This is a sawtooth wave, suitable for creating typical analog synthesizer sounds such as synth bass and synth brass.

• Control1

Adjusting this value will modify the waveform. A setting of 0 will produce a conventional sawtooth wave, and a setting of 127 will produce a sawtooth wave one octave higher.

• Control2

LFO1 is used to apply WFM (wave form modulation) to the waveform speciﬁed by “Control 1.” The “Control 2” setting speciﬁes the depth of the modulation produced by LFO1. By setting the Page 12A: LFO1 “Wave” parameter to

(Tr i ) and adjusting “Frequency,” you can create the

effect of detuning.

C: Vibrato Int..............................................[–63...+63]

Specify the depth of the vibrato effect that is applied when the modulation wheel (or for the MS2000R, the modulation wheel of a connected external MIDI device) is moved to the maximum position. The LFO2 will apply a vibrato effect to the pitch of the oscillator.

D: Bend Range............................................[–12...+12]

Specify the amount of pitch change in semitones that will occur when the pitch wheel is operated. This setting speciﬁes the amount of pitch change that will occur when the pitch bender is moved to the maximum positive (+) position.

E: Portamento ❮ TIME ❯ ...............................[000...127]

This speciﬁes the speed of the portamento effect (a smooth change in pitch from one note to the next note of a different pitch). With a setting of 000, there will be no portamento effect. Increasing this setting from 001 will cause the pitch to change correspondingly slower.

If Page 03: VOICE “Assign” is set to Mono or Unison, and if “Trigger” is set to Single, portamento will not apply to the ﬁrst-sounded note.

Pulse

This is a pulse wave, suitable for electronic sounds or wind instruments.

• Control1

This adjusts the pulse width. A setting of 0 will produce a square wave, with a tone reminiscent of woodwind instruments such as clarinet. At a setting of 127 the pulse width will be 0, and no sound will be heard. By adjusting the pulse width you can produce sounds similar to clavinet or sax.

• Control2

LFO1 is used to apply PWM (pulse width modulation) to the pulse width speciﬁed by “Control1.” The “Control2” setting speciﬁes the depth of the modulation produced by LFO1. By setting the Page 12A: LFO1 “Wave” parameter to

(Tr i ) and adjusting “Frequency,” you can make the

sound distort.

0 63 127

127

Parameter Guide

Tri

This is a triangle, which has weaker overtones and a stronger fundamental than a sawtooth wave or square wave. It is suitable for mellow bass sounds.

• Control1

You can modify the waveform by adjusting this value. A setting of 0 will produce a triangle wave, and a setting of 127 will produce a waveform with a pitch that is one octave and a ﬁfth higher.

• Control2

LFO1 is used to apply WFM (wave form modulation) to the waveform speciﬁed by “Control1.” The “Control2” setting speciﬁes the depth of the modulation produced by LFO1.

0 63 127

Sin (Cross)

This is basically a sine wave, but oscillator 2 is used to apply cross modulation. By using oscillator 2 to modulate the frequency of oscillator 1, cross modulation produces a complex overtone structure.

• Control1

Specify the depth of cross modulation. At a setting of 0 a sine wave will be produced.

• Control2

LFO1 is used to apply further modulation to the depth of cross modulation that was speciﬁed by “Control1.” “Control2” speciﬁes the depth of modulation produced by LFO1.

X-mod Depth + X-mod Depth Mod

OSC2

OSC1

OSC1 Output

Vox Wave

This simulates a waveform similar to human vocal cords. Even if the oscillator pitch is changed, the frequency spectrum will be maintained, which makes this effective when used for vocal-type sounds or as a vocoder oscillator. Select HPF or BPF as the ﬁlter, and adjust “Cutoff” to create a vocal-type sound.

• Control1

Adjusting this value will modify the waveform.

• Control2

LFO1 is used to apply modulation to the waveform speciﬁed by “Control1.” Control2 sets the depth of the modulation applied by LFO1.

0 63 127

DWGS

This is waveform data created by harmonic additive synthesis. 64 types of waveform are provided.

Noise

This generates white noise. Within the oscillator, a LPF (Low Pass Filter) is provided to process the noise.

Resonance

Noise

Genarator

LPF

Cutoff

• Control1

This sets the cutoff frequency of the LPF. Adjusting this will affect the noise waveform.

• Control2

This controls the resonance of the LPF. If you raise this enough to produce an identiﬁable pitch, the cutoff frequency will move according to the keyboard location you play, and the change will be heard as a pitch.

If you want the oscillation produced by resonance to match the reference pitch, set “Control1” to 24.

Program parameters

Audio In

If this is selected, the waveform input from the AUDIO IN 1 or AUDIO IN 2 jack will be used. This allows the MS2000/MS2000R to be used as an effect processor.

• Control1

This adjusts the volume balance between AUDIO IN 1 and AUDIO IN 2. With a setting of 0 only AUDIO IN 1 will be output. With a setting of 127, only AUDIO IN 2 will be output.

• Control2

LFO1 is used to apply modulation to the volume balance between AUDIO IN 1 and AUDIO IN 2 that you set by “Control1.” The “Control2” setting sets the depth of this modulation produced by LFO1.

Sync

This modulation forcibly synchronizes oscillator 2 to the phase of oscillator 1, forcibly resetting the phase of oscillator 2. This is effective on synth lead sounds. Use “Semitone” and “Tune” to adjust the overtones.

OSC2 Wave

This modulation generates frequency components that are the sum and difference of the oscillator 1 and 2 waveforms. By adjusting “Semitone” and “Tune” you can create metallic sounds with little sense of pitch. This is effective for sound effects.

OSC2 Wave

OSC2 Output

Sync

OSC1 Wave

OSC1 Output

C: Semitone ❮ SEMITONE ❯ ......................... [–24...+24]

Specify the amount of detune for OSC2 relative to OSC1, in semitone steps. With a value of 0, the pitch of OSC2 will be the same as OSC1. A setting of ±12 produces a pitch difference of one octave, and ±24 produces a pitch difference of two octaves.

D: Tune ❮ TUNE ❯........................................ [–63...+63]

Specify the amount of detune for OSC2 relative to OSC1. A setting of ±63 produces a pitch difference of ±2 octaves, and ±48 produces a pitch difference of ±1 octave. A value near 0 will make ﬁne adjustments in the pitch.

If “OSC Mod” is set to Sync, adjustments in “Semitone” or “Tune” will change the pitch of the overtones. The pitch of the fundamental will not change.

Here are the ﬁlter-related parameters.

Page08: FILTER

A: Type ❮ FILTER TYPE ❯........................ [24LPF...12HPF]

Select the ﬁlter type.

12LPF (–12dB/oct), 24LPF (–24dB/oct)

LPF (Low Pass Filter) is the most commonly used type of ﬁle, which allows the frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency to pass and cuts the higher frequencies. Raising the cutoff frequency (“Cutoff” value) will produce a brighter sound.

12BPF (–12dB/oct)

BPF (Band Pass Filter) allows a frequency band in the region of the cutoff frequency to pass, and cuts the remaining frequencies. It is used when you wish to emphasize only a speciﬁc portion of the frequency range.

BPF (Band Pass Filter)

C: Resonance ❮ RESONANCE ❯....................[000...127]

Set the resonance of the ﬁlter. This will emphasize the overtones near the cutoff frequency speciﬁed by “Cutoff,” adding a distinctive character to the sound. Increasing this value will increase the effect.

HPF (High Pass Filter)

Frequency

Cutoff

B: Cutoff ❮ CUTOFF ❯...................................[000...127]

Set the cutoff frequency. Increasing this value will raise the cutoff frequency.

“Cutoff” can be varied by time-variant change produced by EG1, by keyboard playing dynamics (velocity), and by note location (keyboard tracking). The depth of each of these effects is set by Page 08D: FILTER “EG 1 Int,” Page 08E: FILTER “Vel Sense,” and Page 08F: FILTER “KBD Track” respectively.

If the “Cutoff” value is lowered, the volume may be extremely low, or you may hear no sound at all.

E: Vel Sense................................................ [–63...+63]

This speciﬁes how velocity (keyboard playing dynamics) will affect the cutoff frequency. With positive (+) settings, the cutoff frequency will rise as you play more strongly. With negative (–) settings, the cutoff frequency will fall as you play more strongly.

F: KBD Track ❮ KBD TRACK ❯....................... [–63...+63]

This speciﬁes how keyboard tracking (the keyboard location that you play) will affect the cutoff frequency. With positive (+) settings, the cutoff frequency will rise as you play upward from the C4 note, and fall as you play downward. With a setting of +48, the change in cutoff fre- quency will be proportionate to the change in pitch. With negative (–) settings, the cutoff frequency will fall as you play upward from the C4 note, and rise as you play downward. With a setting of 0, keyboard tracking will not affect the cutoff frequency.

Keyboard Track operates according to the pitch that is controlled by pitch bend, transpose, and Mod Sequence. It is not affected by pitch changes produced by vibrato or Virtual Patch.

■ AMP (Ampliﬁer)

These are the volume-related parameters.

Page09: AMP

A: Level ❮ LEVEL ❯.......................................[000...127]

Adjust the volume of the timbre. If the “Mode” is Split/Dual, this setting will adjust the volume balance between timbre 1 and timbre 2.

B: Panpot ❮ PAN ❯ ............................. [L63...CNT...R63]

Adjust the sounds (stereo location).

F: KBD Track............................................... [–63...+63]

Specify how keyboard tracking will affect the volume. With positive (+) settings, the volume will increase as you play above the C4 note on the keyboard, and will decrease as you play below C4. With negative (–) settings, the volume will decrease as you play above the C4 note on the keyboard, and will increase as you play below C4. With a setting of 0, keyboard tracking will not affect the volume.

Keyboard Track operates according to the pitch that is controlled by pitch bend, transpose, and Mod Sequence. It is not affected by pitch changes produced by vibrato or Virtual Patch.

C: Amp Sw ❮ EG 2/GATE ❯........................ [EG 2, Gate]

Select the envelope source that will produce time-variant change in the volume.

EG 2

If you select EG2 ([EG 2/GATE] key LED is off), the volume will change according to the envelope speciﬁed for EG2.

Note on Note off

Adjusting “LEVEL” will change this amplitude.

Gate

If you select Gate ([EG 2/GATE] key LED is lit), the volume will remain constant.

Note on Note off

Adjusting “LEVEL” will change this amplitude.

■ EG (Envelope Generator)

These are the parameters for the EG (Envelope Generator), which creates time-varying changes in the sound. EG1 is internally connected as the envelope source for FILTER “Cutoff.” EG2 is internally connected as the envelope source for AMP “Level.”

D: Distortion ❮ DISTORTION ❯....................... [ON, OFF]

If this is ON, distortion will be applied to the output of the timbre. The depth of distortion can be adjusted by the output level of each oscillator in Page 07: Mixer.

E: Vel Sense ................................................[–63...+63]

This speciﬁes how velocity (keyboard playing dynamics) will affect the volume. With positive (+) settings, the volume will increase as you play the keyboard harder. With negative (–) settings, the volume will decrease as you play the keyboard harder.

C: Sustain ❮ SUSTAIN ❯............................... [000...127]

Specify the sustain level.

D: Release ❮ RELEASE ❯...................................[0...127]

Specify the time from note-off (when the key is released) until the level reaches 0.

Parameter Guide

E: EG Reset .................................................. [ON, OFF]

Specify whether or not the EG will be reset for the second and subsequent note-on. If this is ON, the second note-on will start from a level of 0. If this is OFF, the note will start from the current EG level.

■ LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)

These are the LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) parameters used to create cyclic change. LFO1 is internally connected as the modulation source for Page 05B: OSC1 “Control 1.” LFO2 is internally connected as the modulation source for oscillator pitch via the modulation wheel (on the MS2000R, the modulation wheel of a connected external MIDI device).

If you have difﬁculty hearing the effect of the LFO, increase the depth or intensity values of the modulation destination.

Page12: LFO 1 Page13: LFO 2

E: Sync Note............................................. [1/32...1/1]

Specify the LFO frequency as a proportion of the tempo set by the [TEMPO] knob. (☞P.66 “How “Resolution” and “Sync Note” values correspond to note values”) This parameter will be displayed and can be set if “Tempo Sync” is ON. At a setting of 1/1, there will be one cycle every four beats. At a setting of 1/2, there will be two cycles every four beats. At a setting of 1/4, there will be one cycle every beat. At a setting of 1/8, there will be two cycles every beat.

Specify the speed of the LFO inside the modulation effect.

C: Depth ❮ DEPTH/FEEDBACK ❯...................[000...127]

Specify the modulation depth and amount of feedback. Increasing this value will deepen the modulation effect and also increase the amount of feedback. If you do not wish to apply the effect, set this to 000.

Excessively high settings of this parameter may cause the output to be distorted.

Page23: DELAY FX

CrossDelay

This is a stereo delay where the left and right channels of feedback are interchanged. On Dual programs, it is effective to set the panpot of the two timbres to left and right respectively.

L/R Delay

This is a delay where the delay sound is output to left and right alternately.

B: Tempo Sync..............................................[ON, OFF]

If this is ON, the delay time will synchronize to the tempo. If the Global mode Page 3C: MIDI “Clock” setting is Inter- nal, the delay time will synchronize to the tempo set by the [TEMPO] knob. If it is External, the delay time will synchronize to the MIDI clock received from an external MIDI device.

C: Delay Time ❮ TIME ❯ ...............................[000...127]

Set the delay time. This parameter will be displayed and can be set only if “Tempo Sync” is OFF.

C: Sync Note ............................................ [1/32...1/1]

Specify the delay time as a proportion of the tempo set by the [TEMPO] knob. (☞P.66 “How “Resolution” and “Sync Note” values correspond to note values”) This parameter will be displayed and can be set only if “Tempo Sync” is ON.

Alt 2

Up and Down will be alternated. (The highest and lowest notes will be sounded twice.)

Random

Notes will be played randomly.

Trigger

The notes that you are actually pressing will be sounded at intervals of the trigger. The trigger timing is determined by the “Tempo” setting. The “Range” setting will be ignored.

If a greater number of keys are played than the number of timbres speciﬁed in Page 01B: COMMON “Timbre Voice” or Page 03A: VOICE “Assign,” notes will be played starting at the lowest-pitched note and continuing upward for the maximum number of allowable notes.

B: Range ❮ RANGE ❯....................[1 Octave...4 Octave]

Specify the octave range in which the arpeggio will be played. With a setting of 1 Octave, the arpeggio will be played in a range of 1 octave.

Parameter Guide

4. Vocoder Parameters

These are the parameters for a vocoder program (Page 01A: COMMON “Mode” = Vocoder).

■ VOICE

Page03: VOICE

These parameters are the same as for Single synth programs. Refer to “3. SYNTH Parameters.”

■ PITCH

Page04: PITCH

These parameters are the same as for synth programs. Refer to “3. SYNTH Parameters.”

■ OSCILLATOR

Page05: OSC 1

■ AUDIO IN 2

These are the parameters for the input from the AUDIO IN 2 jack.

Page06: AUDIO IN 2

A: Gate Sense ............................................[000...127]

Specify the speed of the gate that will be applied to the audio signal input from the AUDIO IN 2 jack according to the “Threshold” setting. Lower values for this setting will make the gate operate more quickly, causing the vocoder sound to decay more quickly. Higher values for this setting will make the gate operate more gradually, causing the vocoder sound to have a longer decay.

If the “Threshold” value is high, this effect will apply more readily. If the value is 0, there will be no effect.

B: Threshold ❮ ❯......................[000...127]

Specify the level at which the audio signal from the AUDIO IN 2 jack will be silenced. Increasing this value will cause the audio signal to be silenced. This lets you eliminate any noise that might be heard when no input signal is present.

If this setting is set excessively high, the audio signal will also be cut, and it will be difﬁcult for the vocoder effect to apply.

Program parameters

A: Wave ❮ ❯ ............................[Saw...Audio In]

B: Control1 ❮ ❯.........................[000...127]

C: Control2 ❮ ❯.........................[000...127]

Select the waveform of the carrier.

Saw, Pulse, Tri, VoxWave, DWGS, Noise, Audio In

Refer to “3. SYNTH Parameters” Page 05: OSC 1.

Sin

A sine wave will be used. No cross modulation will be applied.

• Control1

Adjusting the value will modify the waveform.

• Control2

LFO1 will apply WFM (wave form modulation) to the waveform speciﬁed by “Control1.” The depth of the LFO1 modulation is adjusted by “Control2.”

C: HPF Level ❮ ❯........................[000...127]

Adjust the amount of the high-frequency portion of the audio signal input from the AUDIO IN 2 jack that will be mixed into the output of the vocoder. Increasing this value will emphasize the portion that corresponds to the consonants of speech or singing.

D: HPF Gate ................................................ [ENA, DIS]

When mixing the high-frequency portion of the audio signal input from the AUDIO IN 2 jack into the output of the vocoder, this setting speciﬁes whether this high-frequency portion will be output only while the internal tone generator is sounding, or whether it will always be output whenever there is an input to the AUDIO IN 2 jack.

ENA

Use this setting when you wish to apply the vocoder effect only to the internal tone generator, or when you wish to use the MS2000/MS2000R as a tone generator and connect the output of another synthesizer to the AUDIO IN 1 jack.

DIS

This setting is effective when you have connected a guitar via an effects unit etc. to the AUDIO IN 1 jack.

■ MIXER

Page07: MIXER

This sets the output level of the carrier. The level you specify here will be the input level to the band-pass ﬁlter of the carrier.

A: OSC 1 Level ❮ ❯ ..........................[000...127]

Specify the output level of OSC1 (carrier).

B: Inst Level ❮ ❯.................................[000...127]

Specify the output level of the signal that is input from the AUDIO IN 1 jack.

C: Noise Level ❮ ❯...........................[000...127]

Specify the output level of the noise generator.

■ FILTER

These are the parameters for the band-pass ﬁlter of the carrier.

D: Mod Src ❮ ❯ .................[EG 1...MIDI 2]

Select the modulation source that will be applied to “Cutoff.” The selectable modulation sources are the same as for the Virtual Patch modulation sources (Source) for synth parameters. Refer to p.42 “■ VIRTUAL PATCH.”

E: Mod Int ❮ ❯ ......................... [–63...+63]

Specify the depth of the modulation that will be applied to “Cutoff.”

F: E.F.Sense ❮ ❯ ......................... [000...127]

Specify the sensitivity of the envelope follower of the modulator. With low settings of this parameter, the rise and fall of the signal from the AUDIO IN 2 jack will be detected rapidly. With high settings of this parameter, the change will become slower, producing a sound with no attack and a long release. With a setting of 127, the response of the signal being input at that time will be maintained. Subsequently, the sound will be produced with the response that is being held, regardless of whether or not there is any input.

If you set this to 127 when there is no input signal present there will be no output even if an audio signal is subsequently input.

Page08: FILTER

A: Formant Shift ❮ ❯...................[–2...+2]

This shifts the cutoff frequency of each band-pass ﬁlter of the carrier, allowing you to dramatically modify the character of the vocoder output.

B: Cutoff ❮ ❯.................................[–63...+63]

This continuously shifts the cutoff frequency of each bandpass ﬁlter of the carrier.

How “Formant Shift” and “Cutoff” are related

When “Formant Shift” = 0 and “Cutoff” = 0, the frequency response will be as speciﬁed by the cutoff frequencies of each band-pass ﬁlter of the modulator. Adjustments to “Cutoff” will smoothly shift the frequency response The shift in frequency response caused by “Formant Shift” is smoothly varied by “Cutoff” in two stages above and two stages below (four stages above and below when used in conjunction with “Formant Shift”).

B: Direct Level ❮ ❯................. [000...127]

Specify the volume level of the audio that is output directly from the AUDIO IN 2 jack.

C: Distortion ❮ ❯........................[ON, OFF]

If this is ON, distortion will be applied to the OSC1/NOISE/ AUDIO IN 1 signal.

D: Vel Sense ............................................... [–63...+63]

Specify how velocity (keyboard playing dynamics) will affect the volume. With positive (+) settings, the volume will increase as you play harder. With negative (–) settings, the volume will decrease as you play harder.

Global parameters

These parameters affect the entire MS2000/MS2000R. To set these parameters, press the [GLOBAL] key. If you wish to save the settings you make, you must perform the Write operation (Basic Guide, Edit section p.30).

Page1: GLOBAL

A: Mst.Tune...................................[430.0Hz...450.0Hz]

This adjusts the overall pitch of the entire MS2000/MS2000R in 0.1 Hz steps, relative to the reference pitch of A4 (middle A). Use this when you need to tune the pitch of the MS2000/ MS2000R to other instruments.

B: Transpose ...............................................[–12...+12]

This adjusts the overall pitch of the entire MS2000/MS2000R in semitone steps (100 cents). Use this when you wish to transpose to suit the song you are playing. The range covers one octave upward or downward.

C: Position ........................................ [PostKBD, Pre TG]

This speciﬁes the MIDI IN/OUT routing inside the MS2000/ MS2000R.

This setting will affect how MIDI data is transmitted and received, and how arpeggiator data is handled.

PostKBD

Data received at the MIDI IN connector will be sent to the timbre(s) without being affected by the MS2000/ MS2000R’s internal settings or the arpeggiator. The data outputed by the keyboard of the MS2000 or the SELECT [1]–[16] keys of the MS2000R will be converted by the internal settings, routed through the arpeggiator, and sent to the timbre(s) and to the MIDI OUT connector.

If you wish to use this type of application, use the Pre TG setting.

Pre TG

Data received at the MIDI IN connector will be converted according to the internal settings, routed through the arpeggiator, and then sent to the timbre(s). The data that is output by the keyboard of the MS2000 or the SELECT [1]–[16] keys of the MS2000R will be sent to the MIDI OUT connector without being affected by the arpeggiator or by internal settings other than Octave.

7: This curve produces little change for medium-strength

notes, and a fairly consistent effect.

8: This curve produces little change for medium-strength

notes, and a fairly consistent effect (ﬂatter than curve 7).

Curves 7 and 8 produce little change for mediumstrength notes, and are thus suitable when you do not need velocity sensitivity or when you want the sound to be more consistent; however, these curves are difﬁcult to control because they produce signiﬁcant change for softly-played notes. Select a curve that is appropriate for your playing style and the effect that you wish to obtain.

CONST

All notes will sound at the velocity value speciﬁed by “Vel.Value.”

E: Vel.Value................................................[001...127]

This will be displayed and can be set if “Vel.Curve” is CONST. All notes will be sounded at the velocity value you specify. Variations in playing dynamics will have no effect on volume or tone.

F: AudioInThru..............................................[ON, OFF]

If this is ON, the signal that is input from AUDIO IN 1/2 will be output without change. This lets you check that the input to the AUDIO IN 1/2 jacks is correct.

This setting is not memorized by the Write operation. When the power is turned on, it will always be turned OFF.

If you wish to receive performance data on the global MIDI channel, set the MIDI channel of the timbre to match the global MIDI channel. (Set the LCD Edit mode Page 03B: VOICE “MIDI ch” parameter to GLB.)

B: Local........................................................[ON, OFF]

Switch the local on/off setting.

Select this setting when you are using the MS2000/ MS2000R by itself.

OFF

With this setting, controllers such as the keyboard (or for the MS200R, the SELECT [1]–[16] keys) and modulation wheel will be internally disconnected from the tone generator section. This setting prevents notes from being sounded in duplicate when an external sequencer is connected and the performance data is echoed back from the external sequencer. (Echo back is a when the performance data transmitted by playing the MS2000/MS2000R is re-transmitted back to the MS2000/MS2000R from the sequencer.)

C: Clock ...............................................[Internal...Auto]

Make settings for synchronization with a connected external MIDI device.

Internal

The MS2000/MS2000R will be the master (the controlling device). A connected external MIDI device (e.g., sequencer) will synchronize to the sequence or arpeggiator of the MS2000/MS2000R. If “Tempo Sync” is turned ON for LFO1 and LFO2, the LFO frequency will synchronize to the tempo speciﬁed by the [TEMPO] knob.

External

The MS2000/MS2000R will be the slave (the controlled device). The MS2000/MS2000R’s sequences and arpeggiator will synchronize to the MIDI clock from a connected external MIDI device. If “Tempo Sync” is turned ON for LFO1 and LFO2, the LFO frequency will synchronize to the MIDI clock from the external MIDI device.

Auto

When MIDI clock data is input from a connected external MIDI device, the MS2000/MS2000R will automatically operate with the External setting. Normally, it will operate with the Internal setting.

When making settings for synchronizing external MIDI devices, refer to the owner’s manuals for the devices you are using.

About MIDI

By using a MIDI cable to connect MIDI devices, midi data can be exchanged between devices even if they are different models or were made by different manufacturers. For example you can use the MS2000/MS2000R to control an external MIDI device, or conversely use an external MIDI device to control the MS2000/MS2000R to make it produce sound.

MIDI messages transmitted and received by the MS2000/MS2000R

MIDI channels

MIDI uses sixteen channels (1–16). MIDI messages can be transmitted and received when the channel of the receiving device matches the channel of the transmitting device. The MS2000/MS2000R normally transmits and receives MIDI messages on its Global MIDI channel. The global MIDI channel is set in Global mode Page 3: MIDI “MIDI Ch.” Performance data such as note-on/off and pitch bend from the MS2000/MS2000R is transmitted on the global MIDI channel.

Timbre channel

The number of timbres used will depend on the voice mode of the program: a Single program uses one, a Split/ Dual program uses two, and a Vocoder program uses one. A separate MIDI channel can be assigned to each timbre. The MIDI channel for each timbre is set in LCD Edit mode Page 03B: VOICE “MIDI ch.” If you are playing the MS2000/MS2000R by itself, or using an external MIDI keyboard to play it, set the MIDI channel of each timbre to be the global MIDI channel (GLB). If you are connecting an external MIDI sequencer to the MS2000/MS2000R to play each timbre independently, set the channel of each timbre to the same channel as the corresponding track on your MIDI sequencer.

Even if the timbre channel is not set to GLB, control changes assigned to effect parameters, Sync Control, and Timbre Select will be transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel.

Note-on/off

Note-on [9n, kk, vv], Note-off [8n, kk, vv]

(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: velocity) When you play the keyboard of the MS2000, note-on/off

messages are transmitted. (On the MS2000R, note-on/off messages are transmitted when you turn the [KEYBOARD] key on and press the SELECT [1]–[16] keys.) The note-off velocity is transmitted at a ﬁxed 64, but is not received. If the Global mode Page 1C: GLOBAL “Position” is Post- KBD, note-on/off messages will be transmitted by the arpeggiator if it is running.

Program change

Program change [Cn, pp]

(n: channel, pp: program number) When you select a program in Program Play mode, a pro-

gram change message is transmitted with the number corresponding to the 128 programs (A01–H16) stored in the MS2000’s eight banks (A–H). When the MS2000/MS2000R receives a program change message, it will select a program according to the settings of Global mode Page 4F: MIDI FILTER “P.Chg” (program change map). If you wish to receive program changes, set Global mode Page 4A: MIDI FILTER “ProgChg” to ENA. If this is set to DIS, program changes will not be received.

The MS2000/MS2000R does not transmit or receive bank select messages ([Bn, 00, mm], [Bn, 20, bb]).

Aftertouch

Channel aftertouch [Dn, vv]

(n: channel, vv: value) If Global mode Page 3D, E: MIDI “MIDI 1” or “MIDI 2” are

set to A.Touch, aftertouch can be used as a modulation source for a virtual patch of a synth program or for the FC MOD of a vocoder program. (These messages will be received on the timbre channel.) If Global mode Page 6A: PEDAL & SW “A.Pedal” is set to A.Touch, pedal movements will transmit channel after messages on the global MIDI channel. If you wish to transmit and receive channel aftertouch, set Global mode Page 4B: MIDI FILTER “CtrlChg” to ENA. If this is set to DIS, channel aftertouch messages will not be transmitted or received.

Pitch bend

Pitch bend change [En, bb, mm]

(n: channel, bb: lower digits of value, mm: upper digits of value)

When pitch bend change messages are received, a pitch bend effect will be applied according to the value set for LCD Edit mode Page 4D: PITCH “Bend Range.” If Global mode Page 2D or E: MIDI “MIDI1” or “MIDI 2” are set to P.Bend, pitch bend can be used as an FC MOD modulation source for the virtual patch of a synth program or vocoder program. In this case, the message will act as a modulation source where mm=64, bb=00 will be 0 (center value) for the range of –127 – +127. (This message is received on the timbre channel.) When you move the PITCH BEND wheel on the MS2000, pitch bend change messages are transmitted on the global MIDI channel. If you want pitch bend change messages to be received and transmitted, set Global mode Page 4C: MIDI FILTER “P.Bend” to ENA. If this is set to DIS, pitch bend change messages will not be received or transmitted.

Appendices

Control changes

Control changes [Bn, cc, vv]

(n: channel, cc: control change no., vv: value) Movements of the MODULATION wheel or a modulation

source (MIDI 1, MIDI 2) can be transmitted and received as various controllers according to their control change number. If you wish to transmit and receive control change messages, set Global mode Page 4B: MIDI FILTER “CtrlChg” to ENA. If this is set to DIS, control change messages will not be transmitted or received.

• Modulation depth (CC#01) [Bn, 01, vv]

When modulation depth is received, it will adjust the depth of the vibrato produced by LFO2 according to the setting of LCD Edit mode Page 4C: PITCH “Vibrato Int.” If the maximum value (127) is received, vibrato will be applied over the full pitch range speciﬁed by “Vibrato Int.” If a value of 0 is received, no vibrato will be applied. When you move the MODULATION wheel of the MS2000, modulation depth messages will be transmitted on the global MIDI channel.

• Volume (CC#07) [Bn, 07, vv]

If you set Global mode Page 6A: PEDAL & SW “A.Pedal” to Volume, pedal movements will transmit volume mes- sages on the global MIDI channel. By setting the AMP “Level” control change assignment to volume (CC#07), you can receive volume messages to control the volume.

• Panpot (CC#10) [Bn, 0A, vv]

If you set Global mode Page 6A: PEDAL & SW “A.Pedal” to Panpot, pedal movements will transmit panpot messages on the global MIDI channel. By setting the AMP “Panpot” control change assignment to panpot (CC#10), you can receive panpot messages to move the stereo location of the sound.

Using control changes as a modulation source for a virtual patch

By setting Global mode Page 3D, 3: MIDI “MIDI 1” or “MIDI 2” to CC#cc (cc=00–95), you can use control changes as the modulation source of the virtual patch of a synth program or the FC MOD modulation source of a vocoder program. The value 0–127 of the modulation source will be used without change, and no distinction will be made between upper byte (MSB)/lower byte (LSB) or between continuous type/switch type.

Assigning control changes to a parameter controller (knob, key)

You can make settings in Global mode Page 5A: CTRL CHANGE to assign principal parameter controllers of the front panel (knobs, keys) to control changes CC#00–CC#95. By doing so, you can use these controllers to transmit the corresponding control change message, and when the control change messages are received the result will be the same as if the controller were operated. (☞p.65 “Front panel knob/key control change assignments”)

Sound parameter controllers will transmit and receive on the timbre channel, and effect parameter controllers will transmit and receive on the global MIDI channel.

If the voice mode of the program is Split or Dual and if both timbre channels are set to the global MIDI channel (GLB), control change messages will be transmitted only for the timbre chosen by the front panel TIMBRE SELECT [SELECT] key. By using the front panel TIMBRE SELECT [SELECT] key to switch timbres, you can transmit a message (Timbre Select) that speciﬁes the timbre to which the messages will apply. When the MS2000/MS2000R receives a Timbre Select message, the timbre will switch according to the received value. A control change message is used for this Timbre Select message as speciﬁed by Global mode Page 4H: MIDI FILTER “TimbSelect” (0: Timbre 1, 1–127: Timbre 2).

• Expression (CC#11) [Bn, 0B, vv]

When expression messages are received, the timbre volume will be controlled. If the maximum value (127) is received the volume will be maximum, and if a value of 0 is received the volume will be 0. If you set Global mode Page 6A: PEDAL & SW “A.Pedal” to Exp Pdl, pedal movements will transmit expression mes- sages on the global MIDI channel.

• Damper pedal (CC#64) [Bn, 40, vv]

Damper pedal messages can be received to turn the damper (hold) effect on/off for a timbre. If you set Global mode Page 6B: PEDAL & SW “A.SwFunc” to Damper, movements of the assignable switch will transmit damper pedal messages on the global MIDI channel (0: OFF, 7F: ON).

• Portamento (CC#65) [Bn, 41, vv]

When portamento messages are received, the portamento effect of the timbre will be turned on/off. (If portamento time is 0, there will be no portamento effect.) If you set Global mode Page 6B: PEDAL & SW “A.SwFunc” to Portmnt, movements of the assignable switch will transmit portamento messages on the global MIDI channel (0: OFF, 7F: ON).

Parameters transmitted and received via NRPN

Front panel knobs and keys other than the controls listed above are assigned NRPN (Non Registered Parameter No.). NRPN messages can be used freely by any musical instrument manufacturer or model.

NRPN editing is performed using the following procedure.

1 Use NRPN MSB (CC#99) [Bn, 63, mm] and NRPN LSB (CC#98) [Bn, 62, rr] (n: channel, mm, rr: parameter no. upper

and lower bytes) to select the parameter.

2 Use data entry MSB (CC#6) [Bn, 06, mm] (n: channel, mm: parameter value) to specify the value.

On the MS2000/MS2000R, only data entry MSB is used.

Controlling the arpeggiator

When arpeggiator settings are modiﬁed by the front panel keys or knobs, the following NRPN messages are transmitted. When these NRPN messages are received, the corresponding arpeggiator settings will change accordingly. These messages are transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel. For the correspondence between the values of the message and the values of the MS2000/MS2000R parameter, refer to the table.

If you are using two MS2000/MS2000R units to transmit and receive these parameters, you must set the transmitting and receiving programs to the same settings.

Sync control

The ﬁrst-played note-on will sync a Mod Sequence or LFO whose “KeySync” = Timbre. However in order to distinguish manually played note-on/off’s from those that are repeated automatically by the arpeggiator, the MS2000/ MS2000R’s arpeggiator will transmit a Sync Control message at the time of note-on (when Global mode Page 1C: GLOBAL “Position” is PostKBD). A control change message is used for this Sync Control message as speciﬁed by Global mode Page 4G: MIDI FILTER “SyncCtrl.” By using Sync Control to apply sync to a Mod Sequence or LFO, you can cause each arpeggiated note to advance the Mod Sequence or random LFO by one step.

Silencing all notes of a given channel

• All note off (CC#123) [Bn, 7B, 00]

(value is 00) When an All Note Off message is received, all currently-

sounding notes of that channel will be turned off. Some sound may linger due to the envelope settings.

• All sound off (CC#120) [Bn, 78, 00]

(value is 00) When an All Sound Off message is received, all notes cur-

rently sounding on that channel will be silenced. While All Note Off allows the decay of a note to continue, the All Sound Off will silence the sound immediately. However, this message is intended for use in emergencies, and is not for use during a performance.

Resetting all controllers of a given channel

• Reset all controllers (CC#121) [Bn, 79, 00]

(value is 00) When a Reset All Controllers message is received, all con-

troller values currently operating on that channel will be reset.

Arpeggiator

When the MS2000/MS2000R’s arpeggiator is synchronized to a connected external MIDI device, system realtime messages Start and Stop will control the arpeggiator.

Start [FA]

When a Start [FA] message is received, the arpeggiator will start from the pitch of the ﬁrst played note.

Stop [FC]

When a Stop [FC] message is received, the arpeggiator will stop. (It will not be turned off; the arpeggiator will start again when additional notes are played.)

Universal system exclusive

System exclusive messages include a special category of messages whose purpose is ofﬁcially deﬁned. These are called universal system exclusive messages. Of these universal system exclusive messages, the MS2000/ MS2000R supports Master Volume and Master Fine Tuning.

Master volume [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 01, vv, mm, F7]

(vv: lower byte of value, mm: upper byte of value, [mm, vv=7F, 7F] is Max, [mm, vv=00, 00] is 0)

When a Master Volume message is received, the MS2000/ MS2000R will adjust its overall volume.

If Global mode Page 1E: GLOBAL “AudioInThru” is ON, the input signal of AUDIO IN 1/2 will not be affected by Master Volume.

Master ﬁne tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 03, vv, mm, F7]

(A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center (0 cent, A4=440.0Hz), 4096 [mm, vv=20, 00] is –50 cents, and 12288 [mm, vv=60, 00] is +50 cents.)

When master ﬁne tuning is received, the value speciﬁed for the MS2000/MS2000R’s Global mode Page 1A: GLOBAL “Mst.Tune” will be ignored, and the overall pitch will be speciﬁed by the data that was received.

Transmitting sound settings etc. (Data Dump)

Program data and global data can be transmitted as a MIDI exclusive data. The action of transmitting MIDI exclusive data to an external MIDI device is called a data dump. By performing a data dump, you can store various types of data on an external MIDI device, or rewrite the sounds or settings of a second MS2000/MS2000R. Data dumps can be performed on the MS2000/MS2000R as follows.

• In Global mode Page 3F: MIDI Dump, select the type of data to be transmitted (1PROG, PROG, GLOBAL, ALL), and transmit the data dump.

1PROG will dump only the data for the program selecting in Program Play mode. When the MS2000/MS2000R receives such a data dump, the settings of the currently selected program will be rewritten by the data that was received. In this case, the data will not be saved unless you perform the Write operation. PROG will dump the data for all programs saved in memory.

GLOBAL will dump global data (Global mode settings). ALL will dump all programs as well as global data. If PROG, GLOBAL, or ALL dumps are received by the MS2000/MS2000R, the data will be written directly into

internal memory; you do not need to perform the Write operation.

• When a dump request is received from an external device, the MS2000/MS2000R will transmit the data dump that was requested.

• When you switch to LCD Edit mode, the data of only the selected program will be dumped.

If you wish to receive a data dump, set Global mode Page 4D: MIDI FILTER “SystemEx” to ENA. If this is set to DIS, data dumps will not be received.

If you wish to obtain the “MIDI Implementation” which includes details of the MIDI exclusive format, please contact a Korg dealer.

Front panel knob/key control change assignments

Control changes can be assigned to each front panel knob/key of the MS2000/MS2000R so that the changes in sound as controlled by knob/key operations can be transmitted as performance data.

Different parameters are assigned to synth parameters and vocoder parameters. For programs whose voice mode is Split/Dual, this will apply only to the timbre selected by the TIMBRE SELECT

[SELECT] key if the timbre MIDI channel (LCD Edit mode Page 03B: VOICE “MIDI ch”) is GLB. Effect parameters are transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel, regardless of the timbre MIDI channel.

If you are using two MS2000/MS2000R units to transmit and receive these parameters, you must set the transmitting and receiving programs to the same settings.

Control 2 values when OSC 1 Wave = DWGS

When the synth parameter OSC 1 “Wave” is set to DWGS, the [CONTROL 2] knob will select the DWGS waveform. The value of the control change transmitted/received by operating the [CONTROL 2] knob corresponds to the parameter value as follows.
