an explanation of different editing features, how to
use the audio editing tools, and selecting and display-
ing waveforms.
VII, “MIDI Sequencing” (page 133) The SX-
1’s onboard MIDI sequencer is as comprehensive as
a dedicated software-based MIDI sequencer (like the
type you might install on a desktop computer). This
Part covers all of the MIDI sequencer’s features and
addresses working with and editing MIDI note and
continuous controller data.
VIII, “Data Entry, System & File
Management” (page 166)
Different applica-
tions require different system setups: sample rates,
bit depths, synchronization, storage, and the like.
This Part covers the SX-1’s system parameters as
well as backing up and project management.
IX, “Connections and Ports” (page 192)
There are a variety of jacks and connectors located
on the top and back of the SX-1. There are also sev-
eral expansion ports on the unit's rear. This part of
the manual explains the purpose behind each of these
connections.
X, “Specifications, etc.” (page 195) All the
specifications you need to know about the SX-1 are
found in this Part: reference diagrams, keyboard
commands and shortcuts, and technical specs.
Documentation Conventions
The names for all of the SX-1's keys, knobs, and con-
nections are printed in this manual exactly as their
labels appear on the SX-1 itself. They are set apart
from normal text with brackets. For example, the
Play button is written
PLAY
. In the case where a key
has more than one function (for example, a main and
shift function—the Shift function is explained in
“Multi-Function Keys” on page 12), it is written as,
ENABLED/ ALL INPUT
(the main function is listed
first and the shift function second).
The SX-1's face is organized into different areas for
each of its various functions. These areas are labeled
and their names also appear in this manual exactly as
they are printed on the SX-1 (for example,
EDITING
).
Areas of the SX-1 that are not labeled, but have a
specific purpose, are written in conventional title
form (such as, Faders).
In order to differentiate LED labels from area and
control labels, LED names are in angle brackets (for
example,
). To distinguish software buttons
and menu names that appear on the LCD or the exter-
nal VGA displays from their hardware counterparts,
these names are in a lighter typeface (like, the
LOAD
key or the
EQ LIBRARY
screen).
All the manuals and guides for the SX-1 adhere to
these documentation conventions. Diagrams and
illustrations are presented whenever possible to aug-
ment the manual's text descriptions.

Tips
