ENTERING NAMES You will need to name samples and programs sounds. The S950 allows you to name sounds using ell letters in the alphabet. Numbers and you can also include certain symbols possible to insert spaces in a name. when you begin to create your own of up to 10 upper case characters 0-9 can be used in a name as well such as #, + and -. It is also
You will need to name a sound in the REC mode (i.e. when you create a new sample), in EDIT-SAMPLE and in EDIT PROGRAM. In the REC mode, you must give a new sample a new name otherwise the original sample will be overwritten. In EDIT PROGRAM, you will need to copy an existing program to use as the basis of a new program so you will need to enter a new name in this mode as well. It is only in EDIT SAMPLE that the need to write new names is not so necessary as the sample name is usually defined in the REC mode. Having said that, it is often desirable to rename a sample. So, how do you enter names on the S950. You will notice that there is a button to the right of the keypad called 'Letter'. Pressing this button turns the S950 into a simple typewriter and you then use the CONTROL knob to scroll through the alphabet. The CONTROL knob also gives you access to the numbers 1 to 9 although numbers are more easily entered using the blue numeric keypad. You can also enter a space in the name using the CONTROL wheel but there is also a button marked 'Space' which does this more easily. You can also use the two buttons marked ON(+) and OFF(-> to enter + and ° signs whilst the CONTROL knob allows you to enter a # symbol as well. To enter a name in any of the above modes, you hit the 'Letter' button and choose the first character of your name as described above. You then hit the CURSOR > button to advance the cursor to the next character where you select your new character. Press the CURSOR right button again to move to the next character and choose a new character and repeat this whole process until you have entered the name you have chosen. When you have done this, hit the ENT button to enter the name into the S950's memory. If, at any time, you make a mistake, you can backstep through the name using the CURSOR < button and change the character.
