of the PITCH CHANGE program. For example, if BASE KEY = C4, then pressing the C3 key on the synthesizer keyboard will set the pitch change value to -12 (one octave down). Pressing D4 on the keyboard would produce a pitch increase of one tone (+2). If a key more than one octave higher or lower than the BASE KEY is pressed, the resultant pitch change setting will still be within the +12 to -12 range, as shown in the following illustration. If the BASE KEY setting is OFF, pitch can not be controlled via the MIDI IN terminal.

The FREEZE programs have two basic steps: RECORD and PLAY. With the FREEZE A program, it is possible to program a specific segment of the recorded 500-millisecond signal to be replayed by programming the START and END points. The FREEZE B program does not permit programming START and END points, but the pitch of the recorded signal can be changed for playback. 1. REC. MODE Selection. Range: Manual, Auto Press the Parameter key and select the Manual mode with the Parameter Increment key or AUTO Mode by pressing the Parameter Decrement key. In the MANUAL mode, press the Parameter Increment key to begin recording, while in the AUTO mode recording begins automatically when the SPX90 detects an input signal. 2. TRIGGER DELAY Parameter. Range: -500 - 500 msec. This parameter determines the actual point at which recording begins in relation to the trigger signal. If TRG DLY is set at 0, recording begins immediately when the FREEZE function is triggered. If a negative „ TRG DLY value is set the input signal is delayed so that in effect recording begins before the function is triggered. Trigger Input Signal Time TRG.

of
the
PITCH
CHANGE
program.
For
example,
if
BASE
KEY
=
C4,
then
pressing
the
C3
key
on
the
synthesizer
keyboard
will
set
the
pitch
change
value
to
—12
(one
octave
down).
Pressing
D4
on
the
keyboard
would
produce
a
pitch
increase
of
one
tone
(+2).
If
a
key
more
than
one
octave
higher
or
lower
than
the
BASE
KEY
is
pressed,
the
resultant
pitch
change
setting
will
still
be
within
the
+12
to
—12
range,
as
shown
in
the
following
illustration.
If
the
BASE

setting
is
OFF,

FREEZE
The
FREEZE
programs
permit
"recording"
up
to
a
500
-millisecond
signal
in
the
SPX90
memory,
and
playing
it
back
as
required.
The
FREEZE
programs
have
two
basic
steps:
RECORD
and
PLAY.
With
the
FREEZE
A
program,
it
is
possible
to
program
a
specific
segment
of
the
recorded
500
-millisecond
signal
to
be
replayed
by
programming
the
START
and
END
points.
The
FREEZE
B
program
does
not
permit
programming
START
and
END
points,
but
the
pitch
of
the
recorded
signal
can
be
changed
for
playback.

If
a
negative
