V3SOUND A-6114 Kolsass Austria CC 3 OVERVIEW Thank you for choosing the V3 DESKTOP — the most modern technology inside an electronic musical instrument. BRIEF OVERVIEW OF ITS FUNCTIONS SOUND BOARDS CONTROLS & MUSIC Three V3SOUND sound boards can be installed in the V3 DESKTOP. The V3 Desktop allows you to play up to 16 sounds simultaneously. There are several basic models. Example for live application Three sounds on MIDI channel 1, solo One sound on MIDI channel 2, chord Two sounds on MIDI channel 3, bass Four sounds on MIDI channels 2 and 3, drums Any MIDI instrument can be used. Styles Arranger Only if a sound board with the General MIDI Sound Bank is installed, the International Style Package with more then 300 styles will work. Sound boards extensions So with any sound board not only the sound material will be expanded, but also the polyphony of the instrument will be increased. Intelligent instrumentation For example: When three keys are pressed, only the trumpet should sound on the highest note, the saxophone on the middle note, and the trombone on the lowest note. All current extensions, see www.v3sound.com 16 sounds for live play and 16 sounds for the playback of MIDI files or styles are all available at the same time. 4 OVERVIEW MULTIPLAYER The V3 DESKTOP has 3 different players. MEMORY All data is stored on the SD memory card. MIDI PLAYER Playback of MIDI files, format 0 MP3 AUDIO Playback of MP3 audio tracks STYLE ARRANGER Playback of rhythm patterns The SD memory card allows easy transfer of MIDI and audio files from your computer to the V3 DESKTOP. By copying your data from the SD card to your computer, you can create a complete backup copy of your V3 DESKTOP data. There are up to 10,000 memory slots available on each SD card for MIDI files, MP3 files, styles, sounds, combinations, and registrations. Each style has 4 main variations. Up to 16 fill-ins are pre-programmed for each style. If you start the fill-in before the middle of the current bar, the fill-in begins immediately. If you start the fill-in after the middle of the bar, the fill-in begins in the next bar. Auto Fill-in (AF): If you activate the auto fill-in function, a suitable fill-in will be selected automatically when you choose a main variation. Breaks will always start in the next bar. Intro and Ending 3 are available in both major and minor versions. STYLES The V3 DESKTOP basic style package includes more than 300 styles. When you expand the V3 with another sound board, you also get styles that have been created with these sounds specifically. REGISTRATIONS All of your settings for one song are saved and retrieved by REGISTRATION. 5 AUDIO OUT 4 DC IN AUDIO OUT 3 2 AUX L AUX R MIDI-OUT EXPRESSION PEDAL (100k) USER INTERFACE AND PORTS PEDAL FS1 COPY FS2 FS3 LINK SAVE EDIT LYRIC SPLIT MIDI-IN CA1 HARM 1 THRU OUT-A OUT-B 1 CA2 MAIN L MAIN R VALUE DESKTOP FAVORITE PAGE + 2ND PAGE - TRANS 3 MAIN VOLUME 9 - 16 SCALA PHONES 9 4 MP3 SOUND 10 MIDI FILE STYLE 1 11 Y 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 6 I V3 12 COMBI 15 2 14 13 IV REGIST 6 II 7 III HO IE1 AF IE2 Memory card slots Power on/off Main volume / Data value Sound mode Combi mode Registrations mode Live scenes Exit F1 IE3 A F2 B LIMEX V3SOUND 3 16 4 X 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - 0 + F3 C 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 D BR MP3 player MIDI file player Style mode Style scenes Volume of LIVE sounds Volume of PLAYBACK sounds Tempo Start/stop E X E N T E R 8 SETUP This section tells you how to set up the V3 DESKTOP for play.

The volume pedal is used for live sounds. You can choose whether the pedal is used for only the sounds on the right hand or for more than one channel. The settings for the volume pedal can be GLOBAL for all REGISTRATIONS, or individually set and saved for each REGISTRATION. For more information, see page 51. TR ANSPOSER AUTO FILTER When the volume pedal is activated on a MIDI channel, all the data of the MIDI controller 11 (expression, bellows dynamic) are automatically carried out on that MIDI channel. WHY? Only one control can be used to carry out the musical volume changes of piano to forte — either the bellows or the volume pedal. If you were to use both controls at the same time, it would be like driving a car with two gas pedals. Press and hold down the [TRANS] key for 2 seconds - then release it. Now for the next 2 seconds, you can change the numbers at the bottom of the display by turning the knob on the VALUE pot. The display will automatically jump back to the homepage screen. Now press the [TRANS] key to activate the transposition (LED lights up). The TRANSPOSE value and its status ON/OFF (LED lights up when it is activated) are saved separately for each REGISTRATION.

You have 16 sounds and you choose which selection of the 16 available sounds is active in each SCENE. A sound may be active in one, two, or in all four SCENES. With a simple click on the SCENE, you can change more than one sound simultaneously — and smoothly. Smoothly means that even if you are still holding down a key on your instrument when the SCENE changes, the sound is not cut off. Only when the next new key is pressed do the sounds of the new SCENE play, resulting in a smooth transition of sounds between SCENES. You have time to play a note to its end while at the same time calling up a sound change. When you have learned this new method of controlling sounds, you will see its advantages — especially if you play a MIDI accordion. Use the same steps to change any of the 16 parts in any SCENE. 19 REGISTRATION – SIMPLE CHANGES TO THE TOP 5 PARAMETERS [3] SOUND > VOLUME AND REVERB From the Display's Home View Press 2 times the [PAGE+] button to access the VOLUME and REVERB parameters.

Music lives by dynamic and variation. On a piano, you change the dynamic by keystroke velocity, and by air pressure for accordions and brass instruments. All of today’s MIDI sound generators simulate dynamic, but the capability of instrumentation was very limited – until now. For the first time with the DESKTOP, you can: also control which part (first, second or third) the sounds should take change the order of parts any number of times while you are playing the piece When you play back the pieces of your concert songlist, notice that music always has a similar instrumentation. MUSICAL EXAMPLE OF INSTRUMENTATION ON V3 DESKTOP Part 1 You are playing the clarinet solo, and as soon as you press a second key in addition to the first, a trumpet as the second part – in this case as a deeper voice – should be heard with the clarinet. As long as you only press one key at a time, the clarinet continues to play solo. Part 2 In the middle of the piece, you want to change the instrumentation. Now the trumpet should play the solo part. If you only press one key, only the trumpet is heard in solo, while the clarinet plays the second voice. Again it plays above the trumpet as higher voice in contrast to Part 1. With the HIGH-LOW parameter you change this setting and the clarinet will play the lower and the trumpete the higher note. Part 3 Now both instruments should play in unison. When you press just one key, both voices are heard. 22 1. Part 2. Part 3. Part Clarinet = black Trumpet = red OVERVIEW - MORE MUSIC REGISTR ATION / SOUND SCENES A registration represents a piece of music; a scene is a section of the piece. Example: SCENE 1 = Intro SCENE II = Verse SCENE III = Refrain SCENE IV = Solo A REGISTRATION represents a piece of music. The sound scenes within each REGISTRATION allow you to change the instrumentation during different sections of the music. Imagine that you are conducting 16 musicians with your MIDI instrument. As the bandmaster, you must accomplish these tasks for all 16 musicians before the piece begins: Select an instrument = sound Select 1st - 2nd - high - low The sound scenes determine which of these musicians is currently active. Are you wondering why a REGISTRATION can contain up to 16 sounds? The answer lies herein: While you are playing, just press one of the four SCENE buttons to play the instrumentatiOUT-A OUT-B AUX L AUX R MAIN L MAIN R PHONES on you want. THRU VALUE From the musical example described previously, it is clear that we need two musicians for the trumpet and two musicians for clarinet.

No. 4 plays second clarinet in Part 2 in the higher voice. In Part 3, No. 1 and No. 3 play together. Now if you consider that a MIDI instrument, such as a three-keyboard electric organ or MIDI accordion, can play even more instruments, then the available 16 sounds are really necessary in order to guarantee perfect harmony. 23 LINK FUNCTION DC IN PEDAL FS1 FS2 FS3 LINKCOPY FUNCTIONLINK SAVE EDIT MIDI-IN THRU OUT-A OUT-B AUX R MAIN L MAIN R PHONES VALUE CA1 HARM CA2 The LINK function can be activated once (GLOBAL) LYRIC SPLIT or individually for each REGISTRATION.

REGISTRATION COMBINATION MIDI-SETUP PLUG-INS REFERENCE MANUAL REGISTRATION REGISTR ATION COMBINATION COMBINATION REGIST stands for REGISTRATION. COMBI stands for COMBINATION. All the sound settings for live play are saved in REGISTRATIONS; they can be used to recall several settings. Sounds are put together, or combined, in a COMBINATION. In the current software version 1.30, you will mostly be working with the REGISTRATIONS. In contrast to COMBI mode, you can also do the following in a REGISTRATION: The COMBI mode comes into play when you: MIDI files, MP3 files and styles can be played Use different MIDI input devices and back as well as linked to the REGISTRATION, so they are ready from the start.

Want to adjust computer MIDI files directly with V3 DESKTOP sounds. o carry out these functions, you need a setting T that can handle all 16 MIDI channels from the MIDI IN port directly. Select the COMBI file called 001extern16x from the 98 ExternMID folder. COMBI - 98 ExternMID - 001extern16x. V3 Use the LIVE function to set and save the volume of all sounds being played live. Change and save the TEMPO of MIDI files and styles. COMBI memory slots are 99% similar to the registrations. Therefore, it is easy to change registrations into combinations and vice versa. Copy the registration file on your PC and simply change the file name ending from .rgi to .cmb. Turn off individual MIDI file tracks as well as change their volume by percent. MP3s, MIDI files and styles can only be played back in REGISTRATION mode! 30 CATEGORIES – REGIST REGISTR ATION CATEGORIES The registrations for the 521MB sound board are categorized using a simple system. The category takes its name from the folder. You can re-number any REGISTRATION folder and change the order in which they will appear in your display. You can copy any REGISTRATION folder and give it a new number and a new name. You can copy individual REGISTRATIONS and put them in your own folder to quickly create a program. This allows you easy and fast access to your songs using the [+/-] buttons in the 10-button pad. If you are using the V3 DESKTOP for more than one band, you can create any number of folders to save each type of program separately (weddings, festivals, etc.).

SEND BA-PR-VO X This plug-in serves a very special purpose. The BANK, PROGRAM, and VOLUME settings of this PLUG-IN are exported when Controller X is activated. Controller X can be activated with a foot pedal. What’s special here is that the 3 messages are only active as long as the foot pedal is pressed. As soon as the foot pedal is released, the original values are active again with the next press key. Those are the values on the first two screens in the REGISTRATION edit mode. In other words, you can make a temporary sound switch with this PLUG-IN. PLUG-IN GROUP - SEND Example: Grand Piano > < Brass Section In this example, the sound of the Grand Piano in BANK 00, PROGRAM NUMBER 01 has been selected. Now, when the foot pedal is pressed, BANK 05, PROGRAM 061 will be sent instead. And the next pressed note will sound with this program. Brass Section 061, which was created for SOLO-HIT, is selected and the volume is also increased to 110, since the SOLO should be somewhat louder. As soon as you release the foot pedal, the original setting is sent again, and the next pressed note will sound with this program. Use this function for brief sound changes. If you want to change instrumentation, use the sound SCENES instead.

The four-stringed E-bass and contrabass generally only play as low as E. Although Sepp Mattlschweiger can play as low as C on the baritone horn, using C as the lowest note in the baritone horn range is not always appropriate. To have both options, you can set different baritone horn ranges in the SCENES or switch to the instrument using the foot pedal X so that the low C is heard only when you press the pedal. There are many specialized bass programs available for TRADITION exclusive 200, with detailed descriptions of how best to apply them. 43 PLUG-IN DETAILS SOLIST VOICING SOLIST VOICING The life of any kind of music is in its instrumentation. As described previously, select the PLUG-IN VOICING from the SOLOIST PARAMETER group. Take Glenn Miller’s “In the Mood,” for example. In the first part, only the saxophones play the famous phrase in unison, and then the accent is distributed across the entire orchestra. LOW 1st G0 appears in the display. In classical music, there is always an instrumentation. The notes are always spread over different ranges and different instruments. The first violins usually play the highest note, the viola the second and cello takes the third; the contrabass plays the bass. Asking three cello players to create a triad with three cellos only happens in experimental pieces of music. LOW 1st G0 In German folk music, the available instruments or musicians tell you what kind of instrumentation the piece can have. If you only have one clarinet player, then only one clarinet can be played. The dulcimer should not be played in two voices. A beautiful three-voice German folk movement could translate to the following instrumentation: The clarinet plays the highest voice and an accordion plays the second, complementary notes below the clarinet, but not the highest ones. This three-voice movement will sound open and natural. With the V3 DESKTOP, we can also set the stereo position, as in the original, so that one clarinet is heard to the left and the two accordion voices to the right. Keyboarders and all other musicians who play MIDI instruments are not used to playing this way, because until now, tone generators were not able to produce stage quality instrumentations. V3 DESKTOP makes any kind of instrumentation possible. There are three entries in this parameter described separately below. Press the button parallel to the text in the display. LOW will blink; set the following values by turning the data entry controller. LOW - LOW NOTE The lowest note being pressed is what will be played as the lowest note. MID - MIDDLE NOTE This sound is only played when more than two notes are pressed at once. Only in that moment is there a middle note. When more than three keys are pressed, there is more than one middle note and more than one will be heard. HIGH - HIGH NOTE The highest note being pressed is what will be played as the highest note. If you press three notes and let go of the highest note, then the next lower note becomes the new highest note. Press the button parallel to the text in the display. 1st will blink; set the following values by turning the data entry controller. 1st - first note This sound plays as soon as the first key is played. 2nd - begins with second note This sound plays only when the second note is pressed. To the above description of instrumentations, there’s one thing to remember: If it sounds good, it’s possible. 44 PLUG-IN DETAILS SOLIST VOICING Press the button parallel to the text in the display. G0 will blink; set the following values by turning the data entry controller. SOLIST TIME WINDOW As described previously, select the PLUG-IN TIME WINDOW from the SOLOIST PARAMETER group. TIME WINDOW appears in the display. G 0 - Grace note value 0 Use the grace note to set the half tone range for what is not yet the second note. Nothing can be changed in this parameter. Applying the PLUG-IN is all you need to do for its functions to work for you. How to apply the grace note: When you are using the PLUG-IN VOICING, you naturally never press two keys at the same time. This causes the notes to “jump” up and down. Let’s use a clarinet and trumpet duet as an example: When you set the clarinet sound to the PLUG-IN HIGH NOTE and the trumpet to the LOW NOTE, you will hear a nice duet when two notes are played. Which begs the question: What happens when I only press one key? For this situation there is 1st and 2nd. If you would like both sounds to play a note in unison, set both to 1st. This occurs often and will be the desired setting. The PLUG-IN TIME WINDOW smoothes out this rough sound for you. Just set the PLUG-IN and hear the results immediately. Of course, you need to remember that the PLUGIN can’t work magic. You should always try to press and release the keys as evenly as possible. But when you want a solo for one of the two voices (trumpet solo), set the clarinet to 2nd. The clarinet will only play if you press two keys. When you only press one key, you will only hear the trumpet. What happens when I play a grace note? In this case, we have the problem that the trumpet plays any time one key is pressed, but with grace notes (think of the Radetzky March) two notes are pressed at the same time, even though it’s only a tenth of a second. Using the G 0 parameter – grace note – you can set a range of 1 or 2 half tones in which the 2nd note won’t be activated. The result for a setting of G 2 is that the grace note in the trumpet solo is played by the trumpet, just as it should be. This is where the final touches for solo instrumentation are added. At the same time, the 1st, 2nd and grace note parameters are crucial in applying instrumentation. If you didn’t have these parameters, you wouldn’t be able to play it. In this tenth of a second the following happens: The grace note briefly overlaps with the second note. In this tenth of a second two notes are active. In our system, there is always a higher and lower note when two notes are played, meaning the grace note would be played by the instrument set as the high note. This problem is solved with the G0 function. 45 PLUG-IN DETAILS ARTIST Y=001 An ARTIST SOUND gives you the opportunity to simulate an acoustic instrument best. Everything is done in the background with a realtime analysis. DRUM PAR AMETER NOTE FIXED All notes will be routed to this number. You can limit the notes with parameter LK & HK (Low key - High key). We measure which key you press, whether you have pressed the same button before, which interval you play, how fast you play, and choose on the basis of this analysis automatically a suitable sample. You can recognize an ARTIST SOUND based on designations in A Sound name. An ARTIST SOUND is basically only monophonic to be used as a solo instrument. 4 parameters can be adjusted in the plugin. DRUM PAR AMETER 1 NOTE The plug-in “1 Note” was specially developed for LIVE percussion sounds played on the chord keys of a MIDI accordion. It allows you to play percussion sounds with MIDI systems that do not have a drum channel. What happens depends on den sound board. The plug-in ignores all incoming notes as long as one note is active. 1-7 REPETITION 0/1 PRO MODE on /off Y=001 A program number that is called when you press the foot pedal "Y" and played until the pedal is released. If you call a prg. with function Y, the sound is polyphon playable. The chord key on a MIDI accordion usually sends 3 notes together. But the drum application only needs one note; other notes would lead to unpleasant phasing effects. REPETITION - POLYPHON This plug-in sends with every new keystroke a program number, starting with the number of the sound. So if you set this plug-in to Prg. 32, it counts when setting value 3: 32, 33, 34, 35, 32, 33, 34, 35, 32, 33 ... Y = 001 A program number that is called when you press the foot pedal "Y" and played until the pedal is released. 46 REGISTRATION – EDIT [18] FOOT SWITCH DC IN PEDAL FS1 COPY The settings for the following controllers be SAVE can EDIT adjusted globally or individually for each REGISLYRIC SPLIT TRATION.

One SD memory card contains the entire data system. A simple copy of your data on a PC ensures that you have a backup of all your data. Open the SOUND folder to find all the subfolders of what is available to you, depending on which V3SOUND sound boards are installed. 00 BANK GM 03 Voicing123 04 Left & Bass 05 Bank GMV In this example you can see the contents of the sound folder for HQ260 sound board. Open the REGIST folder to find the subfolder for the sound board you have installed. 08 Ballad 09 Ballroom 10 Pop-Rock 11 Swing Open this REGIST subfolder to find the individual registration files. 001 Endless 002 Knockin 003 DontKnow 004 Angels 005 SmokEyes The name of the folder is also the name of the category. You can simply copy a folder and give it your own name. Remember: The folder name must begin with two digits. 006 KillSoft 007 Strangers 008 BDolphine 009 Adeline u.v.m. You can copy the data individually, in a group or all of it at once; put it in a different folder. We recommend using up to 12 letters if you change names, and of course the file ending .rgi should not be erased. The advantage of this data management system is that you can easily share REGISTRATIONS with friends without needing a special PC Editor or a USB connection. New registrations are continually being created by V3SOUND and are available free as a download online under support at www.v3sound.com. 62 FILE RENAME - RENUMBER - CREATE FOLDER RENAME Each file on the SD card can be changed with a conventional computer that has an SD card port. You can also create your own folders to structure your music program. Please observe the following rules: FOLDER NAME The folder name must begin with two numbers. This number can only be used once. For the following characters each letter can be used (except Ä-Ö-Ü ß and special characters) and each number. REGISTRATION NAME The name of a REGISTRATION must begin with three numbers. This number can be used only once within the folder. For the following letters each letter may be used (except Ä-Ö-Ü ß and special characters) and each number. MIDI-FILES AND MP3 FILE NAME We recommend to use a maximum of 99 files in a folder. Labeled 01 to 99. Only you have the opportunity to easily determine the order of songs in the display with the number at the beginning. MORE INFORMATION The respective endings .rgi .cmb. snd should not be deleted. The display shows only 12 letters. While longer names are possible, but will not be displayed. TWO BANDS Many musicians play in different bands. The same two songs are often needed with different sound settings. Copy the complete folder of the REGISTRATIONS you have prepared for the first band and rename it. Thus, all ready-made settings as independent copies ready, and you need to make the changes for your second band only in this folder. 63 Page 64 OVERVIEW – DATABASE SOUND CATEGORIES – GROUPS Press the [SOUND] button to view the sound categories. There are 32 categories assigned by the manufacturer. In REGISTRATIONS and STYLES, the folder name is also the category name. If you create your own REGIST folder 77 and call it 77 Carnival, you can copy your REGISTRATION to that folder, thus creating your own category. The sounds are organized differently since they can be expanded. The sound expansions can be added later, but need to appear in their respective categories. All of this is handled for you with a small database. Every sound in a category is shown in the display, regardless of which sound board is installed, and even if you add a sound board later. Up to 128 files per folder are recommend. 01. Favorite 02. Piano 03. E-Piano 04. Tuned keys - Harpsichord 05. Organ 06. Accordion 07. Guitar 08. Bass 09. Strings – various string instruments 10.
