Introduction

OkyWeb2 - the expression of technology

Small but powerful, OkyWeb2 is a 32-track MIDI file player with Karaoke TV functions that integrates a 32-channel Expander with polyphonic facilities of up to 124 notes.

OkyWeb2 is able to handle an immense archive of backing tracks, but is also extremely user-friendly. The efficient song search functions, according to Title, Artist and Genre, various display modes for the songs lyrics and chords, great audio quality and realism of the instruments make it a really valuable aid for live music entertainment.

The sounds are the first striking feature of OkyWeb2: classic GM sounds made even more realistic and useable in the backing tracks, R&B percussion, Disco Synth sounds, numerous really powerful Basses, Guitars, Brass, fantastic Latin-American Brass, original new Drums and countless other details able to satisfy even the most demanding users.

Two extended GM Effects and 4-band parametric EQ allow to process the overall sound of the backing tracks with astonishing results.

OkyWeb2’s Expander functions allow to play in real time, even when the backing track is playing and put no less than 32 MIDI channels at your disposal, i.e. the equivalent of 2 normal expanders.

A microphone channel with two Effects and 4-band parametric EQ plus a very intuitive mixing system allow you to connect a microphone directly to OkyWeb2 and sing, combining your voice perfectly with the backing tracks without requiring any other equipment.

The numerous interfaces and OkyWeb2’s connectability make it a versatile unit suited to highly varied applications. Audio, Video, MIDI and USB outputs and inputs allow you to easily fit OkyWeb2 into your professional musical equipment or use it in your lounge at home.

OkyWeb2 uses the new MIDI MF5 format, which includes 32 tracks (twice the number of a normal player), proprietary sounds and extra tracks dedicated to vocal processing. The MF5 backing tracks exploit all the features of the OkyWeb2’s on-board expander: each backing track can have its own exclusive sounds, realized specifically to obtain the most suitable sound for every single song. The sounds are automatically uploaded, instantly, without any complications and with no manual work to be done by users. MF5 backing tracks also contain extra tracks, dedicated to the processing of the microphone signal: equalization, reverb and echo can in fact be given specific dynamic settings for each backing track. It’s therefore possible to have the right echo, at the right point, with the right settings and repetitions in sync with the speed of the backing music, independently of any changes in BPM. The tracks dedicated to vocal processing can be enabled or disabled as required, always nevertheless allowing complete manual control of the entire audio section.

M-Live’s range of MF5 backing tracks is updated monthly, with both new material and evergreens.

OkyWeb2 is however fully compatible with MIDI MF3 format and Standard MIDI Files (which can be converted using the PC software supplied). OkyWeb2 thus has access to an enormous universal repertoire.

OkyWeb2 uses as storage media very small powerful Compact Flash cards, able to hold thousands of backing

tracks in a space just slightly larger than a postage stamp.

OkySoft2, the software provided with the unit, allows you to connect OkyWeb2 to a Personal Computer, organize archives of backing tracks and Playlists, transfer songs from the Compact Flash card to OkyWeb2, store an unlimited number of MIDI files on the computer’s Hard Disk, update the OkyWeb2 operating system, edit sounds, effects and equalizers and prepare custom presets.

OkySoft2, moreover, enables a link to the

HitTrax MIDI Files web site, providing an easy access to thousands of

fully licensed MIDI Files.

OkyWeb2 is the easiest, more effective solution for entertaining the public with your music. OkyWeb2: a small unit, a big sound...

Just add your voice and... the show can begin !

This Manual

Reading the Manual

The manual you’re reading has been conceived to guide you step by step through all OkyWeb2’s functions,

from the most elementary to the most complicated without ever taking it for granted that you’re necessarily experts.

The chapters have been drawn up following a logical progression to facilitate first-time reading.

But the manual is above all structured for “non linear” consultation, i.e. being consulted through time or

when looking for specific topics.

In fact, you’ll be able to notice that the various chapters may contain short repetitions of concepts, images

and information covered in a lengthier way in other chapters. The aim is to give you all the most important information

on the various topics without compelling you to continually jump from one chapter to another.

Lastly, the black edging of the pages, differentiated by chapter, the numbering of the pages with the formula

“Chapter.Page” (e.g. 3.8) and the graphics are conceived to help you quickly reach the required topics, estimate the

amount of information available and remember the most important operational passages without necessarily having to

re-read the text every time.

Other documentation

Check the contents of the documentation supplied: it may contain “last-minute information” not included in

this manual.

Remember also that you can always check if there are updates, additions or other support material on the

HitTrax/OkyWeb2 support web site.

Introduction

Warnings

Connecting to the electricity mains

The OkyWeb2 has an external power supply adapter. Before connecting up, check that the mains voltage in the place of installation corresponds to voltage stated on the power supply adapter (max. tolerance ±10%). Check the state of the connection lead at periodic intervals.

About the external supply adaptor

Depending on your country of residence, the unit is supplied with either Australian or European external supply adaptor. USA wall plugs have different voltage rating and prongs. If the unit is used in USA, please replace the external supply adaptor with the following specifications from a good electronics store: 9V DC (+ centr.), 800mA, 7.2W

Switching on and off

When switching on or off, make certain that the audio amplification system is off: this avoids signal peaks, harmful for the loudspeaker enclosure components and for your hearing.

Initial connection and prevention of interference

In general, it’s always a good rule of thumb to avoid installation too close to radio apparatus, TV, mobile phones, etc., as these are in fact normally sources of interference. Also, make certain that the place of installation is not subject to disturbance of an industrial nature, strong RF interference or breakdowns in the mains supply. If necessary, protect the mains connection with special “mains filters” (normally found on sale). For audio connections use quality cables, remembering to periodically check their condition and efficiency.

Connecting to particular models of television.

Even if only in rare cases, with some models of television, when switching on, the OkyWeb2 video signal may not be immediately synchronized: the audio can be heard, but the image is disturbed. In this case, just disconnect the OkyWeb2 power supply unit for a few seconds, and then reconnect. Once it appears again, the image remains steady for the entire period it’s in use.

Compact Flash cards

OkyWeb2 uses rewritable Compact Flash memory cards to store thousands of backing tracks and other important data. OkyWeb2 is compatible with <CF> CompactFlashTM specifications and has been successfully tested with a vast

number of Compact Flash cards manufactured by various companies. Nevertheless, M-Live declines all responsibility for any faulty operation or loss of data with Compact Flash cards other than those sold with the M-Live brand. FORMATTING: In order to be used with OkyWeb2, Compact Flash cards must firstly be appropriately formatted. To carry out formatting procedure, connect OkyWeb2 to the computer and use the appropriate function of the software supplied. Alternatively, use OkyFlash pre-formatted Compact Flash cards, tested and guaranteed by M-Live.

Protection and maintenance

When transporting your OkyWeb2, keep it safe from harm either in its original packaging or in an OkyBag, on sale at your dealers. Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, intense heat sources, particularly damp or dusty environments or rain for prolonged periods, as this may cause malfunctions, deterioration or even electric shocks. It is always advisable to protect the unit from dust if it is not used for a long time. Dust deposits can be removed, however, with a dry cloth or brush: never use alcohol, acetone or solvents. No further maintenance is required.

In the event of breakdown

All the unit’s controls are external and easily accessible. In the event of a breakdown, contact:

OkyWeb2 can be connected to a wide range of external units: TV, stereo system, MIDI expander, videocamera,

Computer, etc. The best operating conditions are achieved by firstly connecting the unit to a television, which can thus be used as a main display, enabling to easily exploit all OkyWeb2’s interactive potential: song search, song lyrics and chord display, effect choice and settings, settings of audio and video options, etc.

Anyway, it is possible to use OkyWeb2 even alone, i.e. without a television set. In fact, the display on OkyWeb2’s top panel allows to view the function or song selected. In this case, the operations are obviously less immediate and slower.

The OkyWeb2 display normally shows exactly the same function or song as is selected on the TV. During song playback however, the display shows the following information:

(1) alternatively:

BPM (Beat Per Minute, also called Tempo) and

&Transpose (in semitones)

(2) Time (also called Signature or Meter or Metric Division) (3) Bar/Beat counter

PHONES Headphone connection socket.

COMPACT FLASH Slot for OkyFlash card (i.e. M-Live OkyFlash).

Compact Flash cards are rewritable electronic media able to store thousands of backing tracks and other important data. OkyWeb2 is compatible with <CF> CompactFlashTM specifications and has been successfully tested with a vast number of Compact Flash cards manufactured by various companies. Nevertheless, M-Live declines all responsibility for any faulty operation or loss of data with Compact Flash cards other than those sold with the M-Live brand. FORMATTING: In order to be used with OkyWeb2, Compact Flash cards must firstly be appropriately formatted. To carry out formatting procedure, connect OkyWeb2 to the computer and use the appropriate function of the software supplied. Alternatively, use OkyFlash pre-formatted Compact Flash cards, tested and guaranteed by M-Live.

AUDIO OUT Stereo line output (0dB). To obtain the best reproduction of MIDI backing tracks, connect the

OkyWeb2 audio output to an amplification system, using the appropriate inputs and (if necessary)

adjusting their input sensitivity.

MIDI OUT Using the MIDI OUT output, the MIDI files can be played through an external expander.

Also, the MIDI output can be connected to a M-Live WORD BOX, allowing you to display the MIDI file lyrics even without a television monitor.

VIDEO IN VIDEO input. Allows to connect a video camera, video recorder or any other video source and

use its images as a background on the OkyWeb2 screen.

N.B.: Using this mode, the function of syllable highlighting of the lyrics is disabled.

AV OUT Audio / Video output. Allows to connect OkyWeb2 to a television with the AV/SCART cable

supplied.

FOOTSWITCH Footswitch socket. Control can be programmed (Play/Pause, Efx On/Off, Mic On/Off,

Next Song, etc.) and allows you to enable the required functions even if your hands are full.

MULTIPORT Multifunction port. Thanks to the custom cables supplied, can be used

as a “MIDI IN + MIDI THRU port” or a “USB port”.

- MIDI IN + MIDI THRU port: using the

MULTIPORT/MIDI cable, the Multiport allows OkyWeb2

to also be used as an expander. In fact, connecting a keyboard or external sequencer, it’s possible to play OkyWeb2’s onboard instruments. A useful option also allows to send the MIDI events to Ch 1÷16 or Ch 17÷32.

- USB Port: using the MULTIPORT/USB cable, the Multiport allows to connect OkyWeb2 to a

PC via USB. Exploiting the advantages of this fast communications line, it’s possible to transfer music files from your PC (Internet or Hard Disk) to the OkyWeb2 Compact Flash card or vice versa, update the OkyWeb2 operating system, play the backing tracks stored on your PC, using OkyWeb2 directly as a player (rather than the player and the PC’s audio card), etc.

Muting the melody track

One of the song’s tracks (normally track 4) contains the song’s melody. It may be useful to listen to the melody at first, or to study it if you don’t know it very well. But when you want to sing or play the song this track has to be either cut out or played at lower volume.



 Press the MELODY MUTE key

The LED turns RED: the melody track will be completely muted.



 Press the MELODY MUTE key again

The LED turns ORANGE: the melody track will be played at low volume.



 Press the MELODY MUTE key again

The LED goes OUT: the melody track will be played at full volume.

NOTE: in some MIDI files the melody may be on a track other than track 4. The OkyWeb2 allows you to change the track number for the melody mute. The MELODY TRACK function is in the OPTIONS / MUSIC OPTIONS menu. (See Ch. ‘Options’ for more information).

Audio Controls

The OkyWeb2 has three controls for making easy, real-time adjustments to the main audio parameters, i.e. the ones essential for performing the song.

The three potentiometers on the right side of the unit control the following parameters:

 MIC EFX: amount of Echo and Reverb effect applied to the microphone.

The effects and relative parameters can be adjusted in the EQ/EFX environment. (See Ch. ‘EQ/EFX’ for more information).

 MIC/MUSIC: balance between the microphone and the music volumes.

 VOLUME: general output volume.

N.B.: OkyWeb2 output level is 0dB. If necessary, adjust the sensitivity of the input of the unit to which you’re connecting it (mixer, amplification system, etc.).

Displaying Lyrics & Chords

As the song plays, the OkyWeb2 scrolls the song lyrics and chords on the video screen (assuming, of course, the MIDI file contains the lyrics and the chords).

N.B.: OkyWeb2 is able to display chords and lyrics with coloured syllable highlighting, indicating the running through of the lyrics with a contrasting colour. Obviously, to be displayed, lyrics and chords must be appropriately stored in the file. It’s advisable to use M-Live backing tracks, high quality products with all the features that ensure excellent performances.

Various display modes are available.

Txt + Search Mode

TXT+Search mode divides the screen into two main parts and allows to display the song’s lyrics in the top window, the chords in the centre section and at the same time to run a search for other songs in the bottom window.

The phrases already performed or about to be performed are written in UPPER CASE letters. The phrases to be performed soon, but not immediately (anticipated phrase), are written in lower case.

N.B.: The anticipated phrases can be positioned before or after the upper case test, according to the characteristics of the lyrics.

Text Only Mode

TEXT ONLY mode uses the full screen to display lyrics and chords with large-format characters. The phrases already performed or about to be performed are written in UPPER CASE letters. The phrases to be performed soon, but not immediately (anticipated phrase), are written in lower case.

N.B.: The anticipated phrases can be positioned before or after the upper case test, according to the characteristics of the lyrics.

You can look for other songs even while a backing track is being played. In fact, using the UP and DOWN keys, the display passes temporarily to TXT+SEARCH mode.

Rolling Mode

ROLLING mode uses the entire screen to display only the lyrics of the song being played. The letters are in large format and the lyrics scroll continuously, as if on a reel.

You can look for other songs even while a backing track is being played. In fact, using the UP and DOWN keys, the display passes temporarily to TXT+SEARCH mode.

N.B.: in this mode, mainly created for Karaoke functions, the chords are not displayed.

When a Compact Flash card is formatted it is assigned 16 empty Playlists named ‘New playlist 01’...’New playlist 16’. To create a new Playlist select one of these empty Playlists and edit it with the EDIT function options.

Each of the 16 Playlists in a Compact Flash card can contain up to 250 songs, as if to say 4000 songs for each card ! Even the most demanding repertory needs can be satisfied.

NOTE: all the Playlist procedures are much easier if you connect your OkyWeb2 to a PC and use the OkySoft2 software supplied with the unit.

6 - Editing

The EDIT function allows to change the main parameters of the songs, adapting them to suit your needs. You can change the instruments, transpose the tracks, raise or lower the levels, position the sounds in the stereo image, adjust the effects and the dynamic response. In short, you can remix the entire arrangement of each song, thus creating a truly custom archive.

How to edit a song

 Select the Song to be changed.

Editing can be carried out no matter what playback mode the song is in:

- in Stop: the song selected by the cursor is edited.

- in Play or Pause: the song being played is edited, no matter where the cursor is positioned.

 Press the EDIT key

According to the playing conditions of the song, the Editing environment shows pages with or without the song’s lyrics and shows a variable number of tracks. Only the appearance changes: Editing procedure however remains unchanged.

 Press EDIT

repeatedly to select the required parameter.

 To move the cursor to the required track, use the UP and DOWN keys

 To change the value of the parameter in the selected track, use the - and + keys

When one or more value is changed, the ENTER/SAVE key’s LED lights up, showing that the song has

undergone changes that have not yet been saved.

Shows the parameter currently undergoing changes. Editable parameters are Volume, Instrument, Reverb, Chorus, Transpose, Velocity, Pan.

VOLUME Volume of the track (MIDI Control Change 7)

0...127

INSTRUMENT Instrument or sound of the track (MIDI Bank Change + Program Change)

Allows to choose the instrument assigned to the track. The instruments are grouped into Families (Pianos, Guitars, Strings, etc.). The Families can be selected using the combination Shift (LED lit) plus - and + keys

N.B.: For a complete list of instruments available, check this manual’s Appendix.

TRANSPOSE Semitones of transposition of the track

-36...+36

Changes can be carried out in steps of ±1 semitone or ± 1 octave (12 semitones) (combination Shift (LED lit) plus - and + keys).

VELOCITY Control of the track’s dynamics

- No change.

-3dB Dynamics attenuated by 3dB. COMP Compression Effect. PUSH Dynamic “push”. +3dB Dynamics boosted by 3dB. +6dB Dynamics boosted by 6dB. MAX Dynamics at maximum.

PAN Position of the sound in the stereo image (MIDI Control Change 10)

-64 Sound all on the left. 0 Sound centred. +63 Sound all on the right.

Intermediate values correspond to intermediate positions.

For the VOLUME, PAN, REVERB and CHORUS parameters, the editing is relative, as if to say the editing will respect any settings that have already been made in the track. This means that if a change is made to a certain parameter all the values of that parameter in the track will be changed to the same degree.

For example, if a track has a Volume setting of 80 at the start of the song and 100 in the second part, entering a value of +10 will take the settings to 90 and 110 respectively.

 Press EDIT

repeatedly to select the required parameter.

Editing

Tracks used

Only the tracks actually used by the song

(i.e. the tracks containing MIDI Notes) are displayed (in progressive order). In other words, the tracks that are not used, or are used for other purposes (e.g. song lyrics) are not shown, as they don’t require Editing.

For example: a song that only contains piano accompaniment + melody will only show two tracks.

Indicators of Notes being played

Every time MIDI notes are played, the number of the track that contains them is highlighted for a few moments with a dark frame, facilitating identification.

Cursor

The cursor allows to select the tracks to edit. According to its position, the cursor enables two different Editing modes:

“All Tracks” mode

In All Tracks mode, changes made to the selected parameter affect all the tracks of the song.

N.B.: this obviously is not the case with the Instrument parameter, which, as it establishes the sounds of the individual tracks, is not accessible in this mode.

To enable All Tracks mode, just move the cursor to the name of the parameter:

- the name of the parameter changes colour;

- the information area

indicates “MODIFY ALL TRACKS”.

“Single Track” mode

In Single Track mode, the changes to the selected parameter only affect the selected track. To enable Single Track mode, just move the cursor on to a track:

- the value of the parameter in the selected track is highlighted with a dark square.

- The information area

shows “Number of the Track” + “Name of the Instrument”.

 To move the cursor to the required track, use the UP and DOWN keys

- To move the cursor from All Tracks mode to Single Track mode, press the DOWN key.

- To move the cursor from Single Track mode to All Tracks mode, position the cursor on the first track and

press the UP key. (With the Instrument parameter, All Tracks mode is not accessible).

- To move the cursor to a track with a higher (or lower) number than that contained in the current page, proceed normally with the UP and DOWN keys: pages are scrolled automatically.

Page counter

Indicates the number of the current EDITING page and the overall number of pages used to contain all the tracks of the song being edited.

N.B.: remember that OkyWeb2 is able to handle songs with 32 tracks and that each Editing page can contain up to 8 tracks (in Play/Pause) or up to 16 tracks (in Stop). Therefore, according to the display mode and the number of tracks actually being used by the song, the number of pages used can vary from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 4.

 To move the cursor to tracks contained in other pages, use the UP and DOWN keys:

pages are scrolled automatically.

 To move the cursor one page at a time

use the combination SHIFT (LED lit)

UP and DOWN keys.

Values of the selected parameter

To the right of each track, the respective value of the selected parameter is shown. In the example: Selected parameter = Volume

Volume of track 02 = 127 Volume of track 03 = 123 .. Volume of track 13 = 85

If “MM” appears, this indicates the Melody Track with the MELODY MUTE function enabled.

 To change the value of the parameter in the selected track, use the - and + keys

N.B.: changes in ALL TRACKS mode (cursor on the name of the parameter) are very useful, but should be carried out after careful consideration: in fact, what is changed is the “absolute value” of the parameter for each track, not the “proportional value” between the tracks. In other words, the differences between the tracks are only kept until the limits of 0 or 127 are reached. For example: 1) change the Volume parameter until it reaches the maximum value (127) in all the tracks;

2) now reduce the value: all the previous differences of volume will have been cancelled: all the tracks will have the same volume.

Status of the selected track

This Status indicates the operating condition of each track, and can be set as:

- PLAY = enabled track - MUTE = disabled track - SOLO = only active track

A track’s status is changed by means of the MELODY MUTE key, which in the EDIT environment assumes new functions:

MUTE: pressing the Melody Mute key

on a track with Status = PLAY

- the tracks is set in Status = MUTE;

- all the values of all the parameters of the track in MUTE are replaced with an asterisk.

PLAY: pressing the Melody Mute key

on a track with Status = MUTE

- the tracks is set in Status = PLAY;

- the asterisk disappears and all the values of all the track’s parameters are reset as before.

SOLO: using the key combination

SHIFT (LED lit)

Melody Mute

- the selected track is set in Status = SOLO (only active track);

- all the other tracks are set in MUTE: the relative values are replaced with asterisks;

- the Melody Mute LED flashes.

- the Status indicator flashes.

To disable SOLO status, use the key combination Shift (LED lit) + Melody Mute again.

N.B.: for obvious reasons, MUTE and SOLO functions are enabled only in Single Track mode (cursor pointed on a track). In ALL TRACKS mode (cursor pointed on the parameter’s name), the Melody Mute key is disabled. The Melody Mute function as such (muting of the melody track) is not accessible, but can be normally enabled before accessing the EDIT environment.

MM (Melody Mute)

Indicates that the MELODY MUTE function is enabled and the Melody Track can’t be edited.

ATTENTION: don’t confuse the Melody Mute function with Muting of the tracks via editing.

The Melody Mute function only affects the playing of the track set as Melody Track (Options/Music Options/Melody Track) and can be enabled immediately without distinction for all songs. On the other hand, Muting tracks via editing, affects the setting of the Status parameter of every single track and can be saved in the song. Each track of each song can therefore have different settings. The two functions are independent. The Melody Mute function has no effect on a song whose melody track’s Status = MUTE.

EQ / EFX

7 - EQ / EFX

The EQ/EFX environment contains a wide range of processors for processing the signals of the respective sections of OkyWeb2. In fact, each section has its own set of dedicated processors:

- MIC section (microphone) : 4-band parametric Equalizer, Reverb, Echo with SYNCtoMIDI.

- MUSIC section (backing track) : 4-band parametric Equalizer, Reverb, Chorus.

Each processor has been designed to obtain the maximum sound results with the utmost user-friendliness. Controls can be easily handled even during live performances. Each processor has an initial library of Presets, already optimised for a wide range of applications. By means of the PC software supplied, you can prepare your own Presets and add them to the Preset library saved on the Compact Flash card. The Presets and any changes made to them can be saved directly in the individual songs. You can thus save the effects for both backing track and vocals, even in backing tracks that don’t normally have dedicated tracks (e.g. MIDI Files and MF3), thus creating a truly customized archive.

N.B.: as well as 32 tracks dedicated to the backing track, songs in MF5 format also contain tracks reserved for the EQ/EFX processors. Each individual song in this format can therefore contain dynamic changes for each Effect and each Equalizer, exactly as normally happens with the instruments of the backing track. For example: you can have a song in which your voice is processed in the verses with a short Echo, in the refrain with a long Echo and in the bridge with a “megaphone-style” Equalization and a very long Reverb, followed by a song with a bass and treble boosting equalization and completely different vocal effects. All this is done completely automatically, without moving a finger...

How to edit a processor

 Press the EQ/EFX key

According to the song’s playing conditions, the EQ/EFX environment shows pages with or without the song’s lyrics. Only the appearance changes: Editing procedure however remains unchanged.

 Press EQ/EFX

repeatedly to select the required processor.

 To move the cursor to the required parameter, use the UP and DOWN keys

 To change the value of the selected parameter, use the - and + keys

For example: to change the Preset of the equalization used on your voice, press the EQ/EFX key repeatedly until the MIC EQ pages appears, then use the UP and DOWN keys to move the cursor to the MIC EQ PRESET parameter and, lastly, use the - and + keys to scroll through the Preset list until the required preset is reached. The Preset is immediately enabled.

Mic Echo

The Echo dedicated to the microphone allows to add various types of echo effects to your voice. The repetitions can be synchronized with the rhythm of the backing tracks.

EchoPRESET

Enabled Preset.

8 Presets are available in the default configuration.

N.B.: By means of the PC software supplied, you can prepare your own Presets and add them to the Preset library saved on the Compact Flash card.

¥ When the name of the Preset is preceded by a graphic

symbol, this shows that the Preset has been modified.

N.B.: changes that are not saved produce temporary effects, useful for example for carrying out impromptu changes required during live performances: When a new Preset is uploaded (including the same recently edited Preset), it will have the values with which it was saved before editing work just carried out.

EchoTIME

Delay time.

Using this control, you can change the delay time of the effect’s main echo. In fact, you can make the Echo longer or shorter according to your needs. The MIDI value 1..127 is shown in milliseconds at the bottom of the page.

FEEDBACK

Delay feedback.

Using this control, you can set the amount of signal to feed back to the processor. In other words, you can change the effect’s persistence. The MIDI value 1..127 is shown as a percentage at the bottom of the page.

SYNCtoMIDI

Echo synchronization mode.

This control allows to choose whether or not to synchronize the Echo’s repetitions with the tempo of the song being performed. In other words, it allows to have an Echo able to “keep time” with any backing track. The setting of this control considerably changes the behaviour of the effect and also causes a change of the name and function of one of the other parameters: DISABLED =The values of the repetitions are set by the

EchoTIME control. The repetitions of the Echo operate with fixed values, no matter what the tempo of the songs.

ENABLED =The repetitions are synchronized with the

tempo of the song being performed. The repetitions of the Echo follow the effective performance tempo of each song. The EchoTIME parameter is replaced by the

SYNCto control.

SYNCto

Synchronization value.

Allows to choose the value of the music note to which the Echo’s repetitions are to be synchronized: 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32. The corresponding time value is shown in milliseconds at the bottom of the page. Obviously, due to the dynamic nature of the SYNCtoMIDI function, this value varies along with the speed of the songs (e.g. in STOP = 0 ms). The note values and corresponding milliseconds are subject to some automatic optimisation, to avoid synchronization times that are unsuitable from a musical point of view.

EchoSEND

The microphone signal sent to the Echo effect.

Adjusts the amount of microphone signal sent to the effect.

N.B.: the SEND control is the exact equivalent of an effect send on a normal audio mixer and must not be confused with the volume of the effects, which on the other hand is adjusted with the MIC EFX pot on the right-hand side of the OkyWeb2. In other words, the SEND parameter controls how much signal enters the effect and the MIC EFX pot how much is fed out.

Page 51

EQ / EFX

Mic Reverb

The Reverb dedicated to the microphone allows to add an ambient effect to your voice, combining it perfectly with the backing tracks’ sounds.

MIC REV PRESET

Preset enabled.

8 Presets are initially available in the default configuration.

N.B.: By means of the PC software supplied, you can prepare your own Presets and add them to the Preset library saved on the Compact Flash card.

¥ When the name of the Preset is preceded by a graphic

symbol, this shows that the Preset has been modified.

MIC REV TIME

Reverberation time.

By using this control, you can change the duration of the effect, adapting it to your needs.

MIC REV SEND

The microphone signal sent to the Reverb effect.

Adjusts the amount of microphone signal sent to the effect.

Mic Echo & Mic Reverb Audio Controls

The three pots on the right-hand side of the OkyWeb2 allow you to easily carry out any real-time changes to the key audio parameters for handling the performance.

 MIC EFX: adjusts the Volume of the Mic Echo and Mic Reverb effects

(if necessary, adjust the SEND controls of the respective effects).

N.B.: obviously, if the Microphone Volume is shut down, the Mic effects won’t be heard either.

 MIC/MUSIC: adjusts the balance between the volume of the microphone and that

of the backing track.

Mic EQ

The Equalizer dedicated to the microphone is a powerful versatile instrument that allows to control the sonic texture of your voice, perfecting its integration with the sounds of the backing tracks.

MIC EQ PRESET

Enabled Preset.

The default configuration has 8 Presets, already optimised for various applications. The Presets can be changed but not overwritten. By means of the PC software supplied, you can prepare your own Presets and add them to the Preset library saved on the Compact Flash card.

¥ When the name of the Preset is preceded by a graphic

symbol, this shows that the Preset has been modified.

EQ TYPE

Type of Equalizer.

The Presets are originally prepared with a 4-band parametric EQ, a powerful instrument, but rather demanding to handle. Using the EQ TYPE control, you can choose a set of more intuitive controls with which to modify the uploaded Preset.

N.B.: the “4-band Parametric EQ” configuration is available by means of the PC software supplied.

The following configurations are available:

4BAND GRAPHIC

4-band graphic EQ, with the following controls:

HI High frequency gain. HMID Mid-High frequency gain. LMID Mid-Low frequency gain. LO Low frequency gain.

3BAND GRAPHIC

3-band graphic EQ, with the following controls:

HI High frequency gain. MID Mid frequency gain. LO Low frequency gain.

3BAND + MID Freq

3-band semi-parametric EQ, with the following controls:

HI High frequency gain. FREQ centre frequency of the Mid frequencies. MID Mid frequency gain. LO Low frequency gain.

The Gain controls work with an amplitude of ±12dB (decibels) and allow to boost or cut the respective frequencies.

For example: L0 = -6dB is equivalent to halving the volume of the Low frequencies.

EQ / EFX

Music EFX

The Music EFX page contains the set of processors dedicated to the OkyWeb2 sound generator – i.e. reserved for the MIDI section that produces the backing tracks.

Each processor has a series of Presets, already optimised for various applications. By means of the PC software supplied, you can prepare your own Presets and add them to the Preset library saved on the Compact Flash card.

REVERB / EFX1

Enabled Reverb Preset.

16 Presets are available in the default configuration.

- 8 GM Presets effects in General MIDI standard.

- 8 X-tra Presets Non-GM effects, able to offer further ambients for the sounds of the backing tracks.

CHORUS / EFX1

Enabled Chorus Preset.

16 Presets are available in the default configuration:

- 8 GM Presets. effects in General MIDI standard.

- 8 X-tra Presets Non-GM effects, able to further enrich the sounds of the backing tracks

EQ / 3D

Enabled 4-band parametric Equalizer Preset.

In the default configuration, 10 Presets are available, by means of which you can control the overall sound of the backing tracks. The processor also includes 3D processing, which give the effect of greater spatialization.

Saving EQ and EFX in the song

Using OkyWeb2, Presets can be edited but not overwritten or saved as new Presets.

N.B.: Remember that you can always prepare your own Presets and add them to the Preset library saved on the Compact Flash card, by means of the PC software provided.

Presets and any changes made to them can however be saved directly in the individual songs, in order that each backing track can have its own specific effect (Preset + changes). This procedure is carried out processor by processor, thus enabling to choose which effect and which equalizer of those being used is saved in the backing track.

Saving processor settings in a selected song

 Press the EQ/EFX key repeatedly to select the required processor.

For MIC processors, it’s sufficient to select the processor’s page (no matter what the parameter); for MUSIC EFX processors on the other hand, also select the processor required using the UP and DOWN keys

For example: if you want to save the equalization of the backing track, point the cursor on EQ/3D.

 Use the key combination SHIFT (LED lit) + ENTER/SAVE.

All the processor’s settings are saved in the song on the Compact Flash card: every time the song is performed from then on, it will reproduce the settings as they have been saved.

N.B.: the data are saved in the initialisation of the song, i.e., saved as static data, located before the musical performance. Saving procedure is particularly suited to backing tracks without tracks specifically conceived for controlling the processors: in fact, any dynamic changes already contained in the song (such as a change of effect or equalizer in the various phases of the song) are not changed.

Removing EQ and EFX from the song

If you wish to remove the EQ / EFX settings you have saved in the song:

 carry out exactly the same procedure as for saving, but simply choose the Preset =======

E.g.: to cancel the settings of the equalization used for your voice, select the MIC EQ processor, then the MIC EQ PRESET parameter, choose the Preset = = = = = = Then, lastly, use the key combination Shift (LED lit) + ENTER/SAVE. N.B.: this procedure only eliminates the processor’s instructions in the initialisation of the song, leaving any dynamic changes contained in it unaltered.

To exit the EQ/EFX environment

 Press EXIT to exit the EQ/EFX environment.

N.B.: returning to the EQ/EFX environment, the cursor goes directly to the last control edited

MIC CHANNEL This Option allows to enable or exclude the microphone channel.

When it is preferred to process one or more microphone signals by means of an audio mixer or an external processor, the exclusion of the microphone channel is useful for putting further polyphony at users’ disposal, to the advantage of the musical section of OkyWeb2. ATTENTION: enabling/disabling all the processors controlled by this option can cause high signal peaks. It’s therefore advisable to change the settings only if necessary, or at least with the amplification system off. DISABLED Microphone channel disabled.

Not being used, access to all the options and audio controls regarding the microphone is automatically disabled. The musical section gains 18 notes of polyphony.

ENABLED Microphone channel enabled (default status).

Compact Flash & Software

9 - Compact Flash & Software

OkyWeb2 uses the very small Compact Flash cards as storage media for thousands of backing tracks and other important data indispensable for its operation.

NOTE: OkyWeb2 is compatible with <CF> CompactFlashTM specifications and has been tested successfully with a lot of Compact Flash cards available on the market and made by several different Manufacturers. Nevertheless, M-Live will accept no liability for OkyWeb2 malfunctions if Compact Flash cards other than those with the M-Live logo are used.

Formatting Compact Flash cards

In order to be used with OkyWeb2, Compact Flash cards must firstly be appropriately formatted. To carry out formatting procedure, connect OkyWeb2 to the computer and use the appropriate function of the software supplied.

Capacity of Compact Flash cards

Compact Flash cards are available in various formats with different memory capacities (e.g.: 64MB, 128MB, etc.). The quantity of backing tracks that can be saved on a Compact Flash card depends on both the format of the card and the size of the files. Indicatively speaking, a 64MB Compact Flash card can contain 2,000/2,800 backing tracks, a 128MB card 4,000/5,600 backing tracks, etc. Considering that the cards can be easily and rapidly interchanged, this gives you an idea of the amount of material that this technology allows you to use in a fast, user-friendly way.

Inserting and replacing a Compact Flash card

Compact Flash cards must be inserted in the appropriate slot on the front panel. Once it has been inserted, the card behaves like a hard disk: songs and data saved on it are immediately available. Each Compact Flash card contains its own backing tracks, options and data. Therefore, when replacing a card, remember that the OPTIONS menu settings, EQ/EFX libraries and other parameters can differ from one Compact Flash card to another. IMPORTANT: even if “empty, appropriately formatted Compact Flash cards contain data indispensable for

some OkyWeb2 functions. So, to ensure correct operation, the Compact Flash card must always be inserted, even when OkyWeb2 is used as an expander.

Card Status Messages

When the OkyWeb2 is switched on or when a Compact Flash card is just inserted, OkyWeb2 checks and reads the contents of the card. An alert message is displayed if any anomalies are found.

Card unreadable (probably damaged).

No card inserted. The slot is empty.

Card empty: no songs stored on card.
