6. MENU The MENU buttons allow access to the edit parameters in the MP8. This collection of settings together with other editable parameters can be stored as a SETUP. The MP8 provides 256 SETUPs, and all are user programmable. A SETUP consists of four zones. Each zone can be set as Internal, External or Both individually. Inside each of the four zones, a multitude of features and effects can be programmed and combined together into one exciting SETUP. A total of 256 SETUPs may be programmed in this way.
6.1 Editing Procedure and Parameters First, press the ZONE SELECT button for the zone to be edited. Next, press the MENU buttons until the parameter you want to edit appears in the DISPLAY. When a zone is set as Both, pressing the ZONE SELECT button again will switch the menu list from Internal to External or vice versa. Set the value of the parameter using the VALUE buttons. Since each parameter has a different value range, consult the following pages for the details.
the piano response for each player and each sound. The effect is only available for the internal piano sounds. Other sounds cannot use this parameter. Normal: Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the entire Mellow: dynamic range. Reproduces the effect of a softer hammer surface. It produces a mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range. Dynamic: This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano.
6.2.9 TX Bank (Ext only) 3External TX Bank = On This parameter determines if Program Bank Numbers (MSB, LSB) will be transmitted (On) or not (Off) when a SETUP is recalled. If your external MIDI device requires a Bank Select message, turn on this function. 6.2.10 Bank MSB/LSB (Ext only) 3ExternalMSB LSB Bank = 000 000 This parameter determines which MSB and LSB Number will be transmitted when this SETUP is recalled. When the TX Bank is set to Off, this page won’t be displayed.
6.2.12 Velocity Switch 1 Concert Grand Vel SW =Loud Velocity switching is an extremely useful and creative tool for customizing a performance. Using Velocity Switching, it is possible to have either one sound switch to another sound at a set velocity, or even for a second sound to be added in once a certain velocity has been reached, or to have a sound drop out above or below a set velocity level. This parameter sets the velocity switch type. Off : No effect. The sound plays normally.
6.2.15 Velocity Offset 1 Concert Grand Vel Offset = 100 This parameter sets the velocity value used, when Velocity Compression is lower than 10. For example to get a “No-Velocity” Organ type of playing feeling, set Velocity Compression to 0 and adjust the velocity level with this parameter to 100 or any other wanted level of velocity. If Velocity Compression is set to 10, Velocity Offset has no effect. 6.2.16 Zone Transpose 1 Concert Grand Zone Trans.
6.2.21 Fine Tune 1 Concert Grand Fine Tune = 0 Int: This is a fine tuning function for values smaller than a semi-tone. Ext: This is used to transmit fine tuning settings to external sound modules. If the TX CC is “On”, the value is transmitted when a SETUP is recalled. When the TX CC is “Off”, this page won’t be displayed. The value changes from -63 to +63. 6.2.
6.2.28 Bender Range Int: 1 Concert Grand Bendr Rng = 2 Ext: This sets the Bender Range in semitone steps. The value changes from 0 to 7. This is used to transmit Bender Range information to external sound modules. If the Tx Bender Range is “On”, the value is transmitted when a SETUP is recalled. The value changes from 0 to 12. When the Bender is “Off”, this page won’t be displayed. 6.2.29 Solo 1 Concert Grand Solo = On This parameter turns the Solo Mode On/Off.
6.3.2 Temperament This parameter sets the temperament of the MP8. COMMON Tempr =Pure Maj Equal: This is the most popular tuning method that divides the scale into twelve equal semitones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation of the key. However the tonality of each key Pure Maj: (Min): Pythagor: becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pure consonance.
6.3.5 FSW Control Change Number COMMON FootSW CC# = SST This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Footswitch connected to the FSW jack on the rear panel. See page 58 for the list of Control Change numbers. If the SW is selected, the footswitch is used to turn on/off the SW button. When the System parameter FootSW is “Setup+” this page won’t be displayed. 6.3.
7. STORE You can save the changes of the settings you made as a SETUP. You can store up to 256 SETUPs. The following groups of parameters are stored in a SETUP.

Press STORE when finished Press the STORE button again when you finish playing.
8.2.7 Multi-Timbral Mode SYSTEM Multitimbre= Off Multi-Timbral Mode allows the MP8 to receive data on more than one MIDI channel simultaneously. In this mode, the MP8 can play different musical parts with different sounds for each part. On: This is a flexible 16 part multi-timbral setup. (On 1 and On 2) MP8’s normal program change numbers are assigned in On 1, and General MIDI program change numbers are assingned in On 2. Off: (please see page XX for a list of the program change numbers.
8.2.12 Foot Switch Mode This parameter sets the mode of FootSW's function. SYSTEM FootSW =Normal Normal: The type of controller assigned to the footswitch is a common Setup parameter "FootSW CC#".
