                          MAIN HELP BOX

You can use the U-Play on-line Help feature by pressing the F1 key
from whichever you are. 

To access to the pull-down menus from the menu bar, press the Alt
key followed by the red initial on the specific menu (eg.: Alt-F,
Alt-M, Alt-T, Alt-O).

To edit the timbre, just press the red initial key of each editing
box level (eg.: N, L, E, P, V).

If you want a specific help, press the F1 key as soon as you gain
access to a specific function. For example, to have the help rela-
ted to the Options menu, press Alt-O and then F1.

If you need to use the librarian features of U-Play, you must first
configure your MIDI settings (Options menu) and open an existing
library, or create a new one (File menu).

                           FILE MENU HELP BOX

Press the red initial key to get the function:

(O)pen Library:
       This allows you to select an existing library on disk as the
operating library from which retrieve timbres, and on which store
new or modified timbres.

(N)ew Library:
       Create a new timbre library on disk. Input a DOS valid name
without extension.

(L)oad Timbre:
       Once the library has been selected, this loads a specific 
timbre from the library directory.

(S)ave Timbre:
       Store the modified timbre in place of the old one in the
library.

Save (A)s:
       Store a new timbre in a library. Each library can handle
up to 160 timbres.

(Q)uit:
      Quit U-PLAY. Goodbye!

                       MIDI I/O MENU HELP BOX

Press the red initial key to get the function:

(R)ead Timbre:
       Request the MIDI instrument to send timbre data to computer, 
from the specified part in the current Sound Patch. Allowed parts are
in the range 1-6. Be sure to set the SySex Device ID as 17 on the
instrument.

(S)end Timbre:
       Send timbre data actually displayed to the MIDI instrument on
the specified part. Be sure to set the SySex Device ID as 17 on the 
instrument.

                       TONE MENU HELP BOX

The Tone Files in U-PLAY act only as a reference to link the names
and the tone-type to the specified tone number. These files DO NOT
contain the tone data, which are in the instrument ROM, or in the
external ROM cards.

(T)one list:
       Gives you the list of the tones for a specific card or in-
strument internal ROM. 

(A)dd Tone File:
       Allows you to enter your own card tone list on the disk.

(E)dit Tone File:
       Modify an existing Tone file on the disk.

                        OPTIONS MENU HELP BOX

(A)uto send:
       This switches the auto-send function. During timbre editing,
the MIDI instrument will be linked with the computer, and each mo-
dification will be sent on MIDI lines in real-time. Be sure to set
the SySex Device ID as 17 on the instrument.

(S)end on request:
       Disable the auto-send function. The link between computer 
and instrument will be interrupted. This function is used to per-
form large timbre modification in an off-line status. The timbre
can then be stored on disk or sent to the instrument thru the Midi
Send function.

(L)ibrary sort:
        This function will sort the active library in alphabetical
order. The active timbre name will be closed, so save the timbre
before starting the library-sort.

(C)onfigure:
        This function has to be performed almost once, the first time
you run U-PLAY, to set your keyboard MIDI SysEx parameters. The
MODEL ID contains a value that uniquely identifies one model from
another (U-20 is 43, U-110 is 35, etc.). The DEVICE ID contains
a unique value that identifies the individual device in the multiple
implementation of MIDI instruments. See your synthesizer manual.

                       NAME/TONE HELP BOX


This level allows you editing the Name of the specific timbre. This
name will be sent to the MIDI instrument and can be different from
the name you will give to the same timbre into the library. 

After the name editing press CR and the cursor will be placed on the
TONE field. First you have to insert the Tone Media, which could be
0 (or I) for internal tones, or a valid number for an external ROM
CARD. Before editing to a new ROM CARD, add the tone list thru the
Tone pull-down menu, otherwise the program can't give you the cor-
rect tone name and type. Pressing CR after the TOne Media, you can
insert the tone number into the card (range 1-128).

The third CR returns to the main menu.

                         LEVEL HELP BOX
This editing box gives you the possibility to edit all the parame-
ters concerning the level. An arrow on the left of the parameter
(or the parameter becoming red for EGA/VGA) indicates that parameter
is being edited.

Press the '+' or '-' key to increase or to decrease the displayed
value, and then CR to go ahead. If you have the Auto-Send feature
ON (Options menu), each modification from the original value of the
parameter, will be sent to the instrument in real-time.

To return to main menu, press CR after the last parameter in the 
box.

TIMBRE LEVEL:         This adjust the volume of the Timbre
VELOCITY SENSITIVITY: This determines how velocity will affect the
                      volume.
CHANN. AFTERTOUCH
SENSITIVITY:          This determines how channel aftertouch will
                      affect the volume.

                        ENVELOPE HELP BOX

This editing box gives you the possibility to graphically edit all
the parameters concerning the timbre envelope. A red cross above the
parameter indicates that parameter is being edited.

Press the '+' or '-' key to increase or to decrease the displayed
value, and then CR to go ahead. If you have the Auto-Send feature
ON (Options menu), each modification from the original value of the
parameter, will be sent to the instrument in real-time.

To return to main menu, press CR after the last parameter in the 
box.

A: Attack Rate, the rate at which the sound begins.
D: Decay Rate, the rate at which the sustain level is reached.
S: Sustain Level, the volume level at which the sound is sustained.
R: Release Rate, the rate at which the volume disappears.

(UPPER/LOWER) :     This determines the range of the change in pitch
                    when the bender lever is moved left or right.

                    affect the pitch

POLY.AFTERTOUCH

AUTOBEND
DEPTH/RATE    :     Autobend is an effect which causes an automatic
                    pitch-bend aech time a note is played. Depth:
                    amount of pitch change. Rate: rate of pitch change

DETUNE DEPTH  :     This determines how detune-type Tones are de-
                    tuned. This parameter is meaningful only when a 
                    detune-type Tone is selected.
