Fatar ST-90 Plus Manual de usuario

Thank you for purchasing the FATAR Studio-90 Plus, the finest feeling master controller onthe

market today. Theaction isa result ofmany years ofengineering that went into the keyboard

mechanism. There are actually hammers that strike a surface that simulates a piano string.

TheFATAR Studio-90 Plus master controller isvery simple to operate onceyou understand its

capabilities. Even though the controller seems to be always in split mode, you can layer or split

one, two, orthree sounds across the entire length ofthe keyboard. However, you must be aware of

the specific use ofeach parameter toget the desired results.

CONNECTIONS:

The Studio-90Plus can be supplied with a road case orwith a beautiful designed

cabinet. All the functions are the same, but cosmetically they are quite different.

The following willexplain the difference between the two regarding the back

panel.

Look at figure #1.Itshows the back panel ofthe ST-90Plus built into a road case.

Note itsthree midi outputs. Each output sends out identical information. You can

connect fourmidi sound sources per output, giving you upto twelve sources to

choosefrom. NEVER CHAIN MORE THAN FOUR MIDI DEVICES PER OUTPUT,

THIS CAN CAUSE SOME DELAYS. Ifyou need more outputs, purchase a thru-box.

Located to the right ofthe midi outputs you willfind a 1/4"phone input jack for a

foot switch sustain pedal. We recommend a Music Industries PS-10ora VFP-10

(optional) sustain pedal for this application. We will review the sustain capabilities

later onin the next section. Tothe right ofthe sustain jack isanother 1/4"phone

input jack for program advance. You will also review this function later on.

Located to the right ofthe 1/4"jacks you will find the power switch. Tothe right of

power switch isthe three pole line cord input and finally the fuse holder. Use a 1

AMP 250VGGS 5 X 20mmwhen replacing the fuse.

Look at figure #2 and #3.The functions are the same, butthe location ofthe midi

outs and foot switch controls are separated from the power section. You willfind

this configurationon the ST-90 Plusinthecabinet.

fig.

Note: Ifyou want merging capabilities with the Studio-90 Plus, you must use a

merge box. A goodmerge box we recommend isthe Pocket Merge from Anatek

Microcircuits,Inc.NorthVancouver,BC,CANADA.

SWITCHING ON:

Topower on the instrument, connect the supplied power cable into "LINE" input

and flipthe power switch on. Ever time you power up, program 00will illuminate

onthe LEDs.

NOTE: Studio-90 Plus RESET PROCEDURE:

Ifthere isever a time when the Studio-90 Plus acts up in a strange way due to an

electrical spike, a resetprocedure may benecessary. Turn off power switch. Press

switches "ENTER and "1"down together. Turn on power and release"ENTER and

"1"after two seconds.

THIS PROCEDURE WILL CANCEL ALL PREVIOUS PROGRAMS AND DEFAULTS UNIT TO

FACTORY PRESETS.MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN ALL IMPORTANT PATCH

PARAMETERS BEFORE MOVING ON TO CREATE ANOTHER PROGRAM. THERE ISA

BLANK PARAMETER CHART IN THE BACK OF THIS MANUAL. MAKE COPIES AND

BACK UP YOUR PROGRAMS ON THIS CHART. THIS ISJUST GOOD ADVICE.

SECTION I: GETTING STARTED

In this section we will explore the possibilities ofthe Studio-90 Plus in itsentirety.

Do not skipany pages. Since each function depends on a previous parameter, itis

probably best to read carefully from here on out.

LET'S GET STARTED

In this section you should get ready for hands onexperience. Plug in one end ofa

midi cable to the output jack ofthe controller. Plug the other end into the midi

input ofyour sound module. For the first application, even ifyou have a multi-

timbral module, please seta piano orany other sound that you are comfortable

with to channel number one. (Multi-timbral means receive on more than one

channel at once.) The first application will only deal with channel number one. As

you progress you will be addingchannels for differentkeyboard sound

combinations. At this time you should have your amplification setupaswell. Any

other questions dealing with equipment setup, refer to their respective manuals.

Once everything isplugged in, power upyour system in this order; controller,

sound modules, effects, mixer, EQ, and amplifier. This procedure will eliminate

any potential hazards to your system.

Toprogram the controller properly you must understand in what sequence to push

the buttons to get the desiredresult. Let's take a look at the program function key

located underthe two LEDs.

PROGRAMS:

The Studio-90 Plus isequipped with 100programs, represented numerically

between numbers 00 and 99.In order to get from one program to another you

must press the buttons in a particular sequence. First, enter program mode by

pressing the button marked (prog.). Do this now. A light will illuminate at this

time underneath the program button, (when the unit isturned on, the program

light will already be illuminated) then enter a program number by pressing two of

the numeric keys. (Example, enter program 00, program 05or any other desired

program upto 99).

At this point the numeric LED will flash, then you must press the ENTER* button

located to the right ofthe numeric key pad. Thisprocess willlockthe desired

program into a current working memory location. Do this a couple oftimes soyou

can get thefeelofmoving throughprograms. (Youwill findthatthe ENTER button

must be pressed every' time you wanta functionto work properly regardless what

you are attempting to do.) Another way to advance programs, isto use a foot

switch plugged into the program change jack,located on the back ofthe controller.

This will advance the programs in numerical order only.

PARAMETERS:

Now you can start programming parameters within a program. Let us startby first

picking a program, let's try program 00. If you'renot sure how to do this, just

reread the last paragraph. OK, now thatyou are there,you will need to address the

parameters and see how they work.

Using the parameters on the Studio-90 Plus iseasy once you get a handle on it. If

you takea look at top ofthecontrolleryou willsee a listing of nineteen

parameters, starting from 00 to 18.In order to access these parameters, press the

parameter (param.) buttonlocated on the lower leftbe\ow the two LEDs. Please

do this now. You will notice thata red light will illuminate under that parameter

button.Now we will choose our first parameter.

SPLIT LEFT-SPLIT RIGHT:

The Studio-90 Plus has two split points represented by parameter 00(SPLIT LEFT),

and parameter 01(SPLIT RIGHT). You can assignthese split points any where on

the keyboard. These parameters will allow you to have the controller operate in

single mode, split mode orlayer mode. For now operate the controller in single

mode (one sound across the keyboard). In the next section there will be examples

ofsplit and layer mode.

*Note: Enter all programs, parameters and values into the memory by pressing

the enter key. The enter key acts asa save function.

In order to activate this mode at this time, press the parameter button. Then press

00on the numerickey pad. At this point the LEDs will flashnumber00, now press

the ENTER key. This procedure will lock parameter 00into position and move the

red light to the VALUE* function.The VALUE function has a range from 00to 88

within parameters 00 and 01.You will see how to use differenttypes ofVALUES

forthese parameters later on in thistext.

At this time the keyboard isasking you at whatkey location on the keyboard

would you like your firstsplit.You will see a numberin the screen. No matter

what thatnumberis now, please press 27 on the numeric key pad. This number

will flash.Now press the ENTER key to lock this position into the memory ofthe

keyboard. You have justsetparameter 00(SPLIT LEFT) to the 27th key on the

keyboard, that ismusically speaking, B in the 3rd octave or B3. Repeat this process

acouple oftimes in order to get a feel for the programming.

Let's move on. Now press parameter 01on the numerickey pad.

At this point the LEDs willflash number01,now press the ENTER key. This

procedure will lock parameter 01into position and move the red light to the

VALUE function.The keyboard isnow asking you at what key location on the

keyboard would you like yoursecond split. At this time you will see a number in

the screen. No matter what that number isnow, please press 63on the numeric

key pad. This number will flash.Press the ENTER key to lock this position into the

memory ofthe keyboard. You have justset parameter 01(SPLIT

RIGHT) to the 63rdkey on thekeyboard thatismusically speaking, B in the 6th

octave or B6. Repeat this process a couple oftimes in order to get a feel for the

programming.

At this time, the controller's program has three zones. Zone one isfrom Al to B3,

zone two isfrom B#3 to B6and zone three isfrom B#6to thehighest key ofthe

keyboard. This iswhere things could get confusing, but do not let it. Remember,

you want to get one

*Note: From here on out you must program a VALUE for every parameter in use.

VALUE could mean anything from a key location to transposition to program

change. We will seehow this VALUE works in other situations later on in this text.

For now let's juststay with parameter 00and 01.

sound across the keyboard. How do you do thisif there are three zones across the

keyboard? The answer issimple. Locate parameters 08,09 and 10,these are the

midi channel parameters or astheparameter chartrefers to it as CHANNEL MIDI 1,

2,and 3.Seteach VALUE to number 01,using the method that you already have

learned. More aboutmidi channels later.

TRANSPOSER:

Locate parameter 02 through 04 on theparameter chart at top ofthe keyboard that

are clearlymarkedasTRANSPOSER 1,2,and 3.Use these functions for

transposition. Why are there three TRANSPOSER functions? The answer is,there

are three zones, sothere must be a control for transposition for each zone. Again,

look at the parameter chart on top ofthe keyboard. The number 02 refers tothe

parameternumber,TRANSPOSER referto the transposition functionand 1 refers to

zone #1.The same idea applies to parameter 03 and 04 except they refer to

TRANSPOSER 2 and 3 for zones 2 and 3.The TRANSPOSER function VALUES are

between 00and 11.These numbers represent semi-tone transposition. You can

program each zone up to 11semi-tones. However, you may only transpose up

with these parameters. Do not worry, you can transpose down with the help ofthe

next set ofparameters called OCTAVE. Before using the OCTAVE function,you

must realize that a VALUE of00represents NO transposition. This isimportant for

having one sound across the keyboard chromatically. If on the other hand you

need to have some type oftransposition, justenter the number ofsemi-tones you

desire.

fifth,entera value of07and soon. After youcomplete this exerciseplease enter the value 00 in parameters 02,

0, and04. In order to create a chromatic state across the keyboard you must adjust the OCTAVE parameters.

OCTAVE:

Parameters 05,06,and 07refer to OCTAVES 1,2, and 3.This function controls

octave transposition within each zone,

TheVALUES ofthese parameters are 70, 60, 50,40, 30,20,10,00, 01,02, 03, 04, 05,

06, and 07.70 being seven octaves below the natural setting ofa piano and 07

being seven octave above. 60issixoctaves below, 06 being sixoctaves above and

soon. VALUE 00has absolutely no transposition. Tocreate one chromatic sound

across the keyboard, set each VALUE for parameters 05,06,and 07 to VALUE 00.

You should now have one chromatic sound across the keyboard without any

transposition. Ifyou have reached this point with no problems, please take a break

and play your heart out. If you have a problem, please go over each parameter.

You might have missed one or two. When you find the incorrect parameter, please

correct it, then celebrate. At this point you are halfway there.

CHANNEL MIDI:

Parameters 08,09, and 10are midi channel functions. You will locate them onthe

parameter chart as CHANNEL MIDI 1,2 and 3.Again, 1,2, and 3,refers for zones

one, two, and three. The VALUES ofthese parameters are midi channels 1 through

16,represented by 01,02, 03,04, 05, 06,07, 08,09,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,giving

us access to all the midi channels in the specification.

Up to this point you have created a single midi channel. This midi channel runs

across thekeyboard. By using this procedure you get one chromatic sound from

the bottom of the keyboard to the top. What happens if you want three sounds

across the keyboard? Well, to start, change each midi channel to a different

VALUE. For example, keep parameter 08the VALUE of 01,but change parameter

09,to VALUE 02 and parameter 10to VALUE 03.Ifyou have three sound modules

chained together by midi cables, please set each one tochannel 1,then 2, then 3.

If you have one multi-timbral module, setdifferent sounds to channels 1,2, and 3

(refer to the sound sources' owners manual for the channel change command). At

this point you should have differentsounds on three separate zones across the

keyboard. Check this by playing the keyboard. If you do not have the desired

results, check the value of each midi parameter and find your mistake. In the next

section you will learn different ways ofusing midi channels in conjunction with

parameters 00, split leftand 01,split right, givingyou totally different control across

the keyboard.

PRESET:

Use parameters 11,12 and 13for PRESET changes orprogram changes. There are

100program changes. The VALUES ofthese parameters start at 00 and continue

through 99. If the number ofthe PRESET on the controller does not match the

program number on thesound source, do not worry. You willnotice thatit may be

one numberoff.This isrecognized by the MIDI standard. Programming these

parameters for each zone isjustlike programming the previous parameters, only

this time you are sending program changes per zone. You willnotice that your

sound source may have more than 100sounds. If thisisthe case, look in the

owner's manual for the "program change map". Learn how touse it. In this way

you can send patch changes to sounds higher than 100.For example, ifthe

controller sends out a PRESET change of99,the sound onthe receiving end might

be 127orany other number.
