Some of the SC - 3000 character keys are white and some are black as in a piano. For input of the music notes, use the top layer numeric keys. Special keys have their own respective functions which are described on the following pages. 2. Input by keys The following 3 modes are used. (1) Play mode : (2.1) Character input mode : (2.2) Music input mode : < 1 > Play mode PLAY When the | FUNC | key is pressed, the input mode shifts to the play mode.

HOW TO USE THE MUSIC EDITOR 1. Operation start When the power switch is turned on or the | RESET~| key is pressed, the title screen is displayed and the following operation will be in a waiting condition for input. *** OPERATION * * * < 1 > MUSIC TITLE DISPLAY : Displays music titles stored in buffer memory. < 2 > MUSIC COMPOSITION : Stores newly composed music in buffer memory. - 7 -

< 3 > ARRANGEMENT : Corrects and arranges music stored in buffer memory. < 4 > PLAY : Plays music stored in buffer memory. < 5 > INSTRUMENT CHANGE : Changes tones to be played. < 6 > SAVE : Saves music stored in buffer memory onto cassette tape. (Records music data onto the cassette tape) < 7 > LOAD : Loads cassette tape music in buffer memory. (Reads music data recorded onto cassette tape in buffer memory) . < 8 > VERIFY : Compares music in buffer memory with tape music. < 9 > ERASURE : Erases music stored in buffer memory. Enter the desired number of operation (1 — 9) and press I CR | key to start operation. Remarks ; Buffer means the place where entered data is stored. - 8 -

< 1 > Display music names In this operation, music titles will not be displayed unless music data is stored in the buffer memory. This operation can be done after composition or after the input of music data from the cassette tape. Where music data is stored in the buffer memory, music title with numbers put on before them are displayed. < 2 > Composition Input the B 2 A key and press | CR | to start composition. Instructions will be displayed on the screen consecutively. Input is to be done in accordance with the instructions. INPUT MUSIC TITLE ? Use character keys to input music title. The limited number of characters usable for the music title is 32. - 9 -

Characters that can be used are alphabetic characters, numerals, kana and special symbols. After entering music title, press the | CR | key. Example ? MY WAY Next, input the key signature. * KEY SIGNATURE * < 1 > i, , \> None b 1 t 2 t 3 t 4 t 5 b 6 b 7 <2> J 1 < 9 > <3> # 2 < 10 > A V 3 < 11 > <5> # 4 < 12 > <6> # 5 13 > < 7> ti 6 < 14 > <8> # 7 < 15 > - 10 -

Input notation by referring to Fig. 1. The key is for “do” and the key is for one octave higher. Hb B i When scales are input, press keys corresponding to the keyboard of musical instruments, and a mark will be displayed on the keyboard on the screen. Select the notation to be input from numeral keys in the upper layer and then press the selected key. In this way, musical notes are printed on the screen. Consecutively input notation in this procedure. When entering the double or treble chord, while holding the key which was pressed first, simultaneously press the subsequent key and then press notation keys. For the addition, insertion, erasure and change of notation, refer to the explanation given below. - 14 -

Notation input (1) Explanation of the screen (see Fig. 3). • Bar (measure) No. ; Shows in which bar (measure) the beginning of notation displayed on the screen is located. • No. of Free Bytes : Shows the number of free bytes in the buffer memory. 4 bytes are used per notation or rest. • Mode Display INS This refers to the insert mode in which additional notation (s) can be inserted in the position where the CURSOR is blinking. The CURSOR can be moved in between bars, where additional notation (s) can be entered. In this case, the new notation is inserted immediately before the CURSOR. DEL This refers to DELETE by which notation (s) erroneously entered are deleted. Bring the CURSOR below the notation to be deleted and then press the INS / DEL key to delete it. - 15 -

CHANGE This refers to the change mode in which notation, rests, etc., can be changed. In this case the notation in the position where the CURSOR is will be changed. PLAY This shows that input by keys is in the play mode. (2) Key input PLAY • I FUNC END • I CTRL • I SHIFT When this key is pressed once, CH PLAY in the lower right-hand part of the screen will be marked. You can play by using the key. When the key is pressed again, the mark will shift to n INS and thus operation shifts to notation input. By using this key, notation input ends. The screen returns to the WAIT condition. While holding down this key, the upper part of the REST / NOTATION key or the INS / DEL key can be selected. - 16 -

TEST I GRAPH CHANGE ENG DIER'S CLR HOME CLR INS/DEL INS DEL Music note currently displayed is played. This key is used to confirm notation input. This key is for the change mode and notation change. The normal insert mode is restored by Pressing the SHIFT + INS/DEL key. Cancels previously entered scales. (When the SHIFT key is pressed), the insert mode is set by this key. (When the SHIFT key is not pressed), notation, rests, or bar symbols in the CURSOR position are deleted. <> I , I o I : Moves CURSOR to the right and left. TOP 1} I : Returns the CURSOR to the beginning of the program. - 17 -

NEXT • I j], I : Moves the CURSOR to the beginning of the subsequent bar. ^/o Inputs rests or notation. (When the I SHIFT I key is not pressed), inputs notation. (When the | SHIFT | key is pressed), inputs rest. AA A 9 Inputs the bar symbol. (3) Precautions for input of music note : Notations or rests of more than 17 cannot be entered in a bar. Any notation or rest exceeding the above 17 numbers will not be entered. (Note : Input is possible until free bytes is no longer available ). - 18 -

Transposition towards the higher tone direction is expressed by + and that towards the lower tone direction by — . Input NUMBER by referring to the table displayed on the screen. Input < 3 >, <4 > , and < 5 >, in the same manner as in composition. < 4 > Play By entering < 4 > when operation is in a waiting condition, music stored in the buffer memory can be played. - 21 -

This is referred to as “LOAD”. INPUT MUSIC TITLE OR RETURN KEY. [cr] FOUND FILE : “ MY WAY ” * END * Press ICRl KEY - 27 -

When operation returns to “OPERATION START”, press the keys in < 1 > and confirm that the previously entered music title is displayed. If the music title is displayed, this means that it was accurately entered. Connection between the SC — 3000 and a recorder for SAVE and that for VERIFY and LOAD are different. So, be sure to read the instruction manual before use. < 9 > Delete (Erasure) When the number of music stored in the buffer memory is entered, that particular music will be erased from the buffer.
