manual abstract
For instance, if you set the MIDI channel 2, it is assigned to the first string, channel 3 to the second string, channel 4 to the third string and so on up to the channel 7 to the sixth string. The MIDI channel you have set will be retained in memory even after the MKS-100 is turned off. First of all, load the data from the supplied disk to the MKS-100's internal memory, and listen to the sounds. One side of the disk contains one sound, i.e. two sounds on one disk. The MKS-100's internal memory can store up to two disk data which is four different sounds. Both A and B sides of a disk may be used for one sound. a. Loading each of the four different sounds © Insert the supplied quick disk #001 "Drum Set" into the disk drive with the A side (BD) facing upward. (Please gently hold the sides of the Disk with your thumb and forefinger, then slowly insert it.) © Push the Load Button ©. * Usually for loading, the Load Button should be pushed after inserting the disk. However, if it is inserted while "READY” is still shown in the Display quickly after the MKS-100 is switched on, pushing the Load Button is not necessary. During loading, the Display will respond with: Load BASS DRUM 12 While the disk drive is running, the disk drive indicator is lit without fail. This is to warn you not to remove or insert a disk. That would break the disk or erase the data. After a while, the Display will change as shown below. This shows that the sound saved on the side A (BD) crHhe disk is loaded to the MKS-100. Also, the indicator of the Structure Button A is lit. Now, you can hear Bass Drum by sending MIDI Note on message. ® Make sure that the disk drive indicator is dark, push the Eject Button ©, remove the QD and reinsert it into the disk drive with the side B (SD) facing upward this time. © Push the Load Button © . Likewise, load the C (TOM) and the D (HH) sides of the "Drum Set" disk. Now, four differnt sounds are loaded into the MKS-100's internal memory. By pressing the Structure Buttons A, B, C or D, you can select any of the four sounds. We regard these A, B, C and D as locations where the sounds reside. Each Bank can retain the sound data of one second as longest. To make a sustained sound, you may loop the sampled sounds. (See page 41.) * The key you play on the keyboard may sound in a shifted pitch. This is because of the Recording key Number. (See page 36). 73 b. Structure Buttons The Structure Buttons A, B, C and D are used to select the corresponding sound of the Banks A, B, C and D. These Banks can be recorded or played simultaneously or sequencially by using other Structure Buttons. This is effective for combining two Banks for recording a long tone, etc. 1) Structure AB, CD (ABCD) The Structure AB can be used for joining the Bank A sound with the B sound. Likewise, the Structure CD button joins the C and D. This is useful for combining two banks for sampling two second sound. You may also combine two different samples and play it. Structure AB ^-Bank A-y- Bank B - Structure CD /-Bank C-y-Bank D- JL The Structure ABCD plays (or records) the Banks A, B, C, and D sequencially. If this Structure ABCD is used for playing the "Drum Set", the volume of the later sound will be very low. This is because of the Wave Parameters (explained later). 2) Structure A/B, C/D The Structure A/B button plays the Bank A sound in the lower sound range and the Bank B sound in the upper. The C/D button works just like that, playing each sound separately in the lower and upper sound range. The MKS-100 allows you to divide the whole sound range into two sections and assign different sounds to each range. Split Point is the dividing line of the two sections. * The actual Split Point of the “Drum Set" is different from the following picture. Structure A/B Lower Sound Range Bank A- Higher Sound Range -Bank B- Split Point -8va- 14 3) Structure AB/CD The Structure AB/CD button plays the Bank A sound then the B sound in the lower section, while the D sound is followed by the C in the upper section. Structure C/D Lower Sound Range - Bank C—— Higher Sound Range -Bank D —— Structure AB/CD Lower Sound Range Bank A-y Bank B—~ Higher Sound Range - Bank C —v- Bank D — 75 4) Structure A/B/C/D 5) Note on Sampling Structure The Structure A/B/C/D button splits the MKS-100 to four sound ranges, and play each Bank sound A, B, C and D in the four sections separately.

When the loading is completed, the relevant indicators on the panel will light up to tell you which structure is used. When the Banks of two different sounds are combined, the pitches or volumes of the two sounds may differ. This is related with the Wave Parameter explained later in this manual. These Split Structures are specially useful to create piano sound whose tones subt...
