TS-10 Musician’s Manual Section 1 — Controls and Basic Functions

Front Panel Controls

Almost everything you do on the TS-10, whether it’s selecting a sound, editing that sound,

adjusting the tuning, etc., is controlled from the front panel using the following controls:

0 1

3 4 5

7 8 9

1) Volume Slider

This controls the overall volume of the TS-10 audio outputs.

2) Data Entry Controls

The Data Entry Slider and the Up and Down Arrow buttons to the left of the display are

primarily used to select and modify things — sounds, parameters, keyboard touch, MIDI Control

functions, etc. — all depending on which front panel button you press.

3) Mode Buttons

These 3 buttons are used to select the current mode; you will always be in one of these modes:

• Sequencer Mode — The Seqs/Songs button is used to put the TS-10 into Sequencer mode. The

ten Bank buttons (labeled 0-9) will select Sequencer banks. Each bank contains six sequencer

locations, any of which can contain a sequence or a song, or may be blank. When the TS-10 is in

Sequencer mode, the LED above the Seqs/Songs Button will light. Note that when the

sequencer is playing, you cannot enter either Sounds or Presets mode.

• Presets Mode — The Presets button is used to put the TS-10 into Presets mode. The BankSet

button will scroll through the five different Preset BankSets. The ten Bank buttons will select

Preset Banks within each BankSet. Each Preset Bank contains six different presets. Add all this

up, and you get a total of 300 different presets (120 User-programmable and 180 ROM)! Each

Preset contains three sound locations called “Tracks”, any of which can contain a User RAM

Program, ROM Program, or Sampled Sound. When the TS-10 is in Presets mode, the LED above

the Presets Button will light, and the bottom left-hand corner of the display will show PSET.

• Sounds Mode — The Sounds button is used to put the TS-10 into Sounds mode. The BankSet

button will scroll through the different Sound BankSets. The ten Bank buttons will select Sound

Banks within each BankSet. Each User RAM and ROM Program Bank contains six different

programs. Sampled Sound Banks contain one Sampled Sound per Bank. When the TS-10 is in

Sounds mode, the LED above the Sounds Button will light.

4) BankSet Button

A BankSet is a collection (or “set”) of 10 Banks of Sounds or Presets. The BankSet button is used

to select different BankSets in Sound and Preset Modes. Repeated presses of the BankSet button

will scroll through all of the available BankSets.

Tip: There is a quick way to “direct-dial” between different BankSets in both Sounds and Preset

modes. Simply press the BankSet button and while holding it down, press the appropriate Bank

button. Bank buttons 0 and 1 select User RAM BankSets, and Bank buttons 2, 3, and 4 select

ROM BankSets. Bank button 8 (and if expansion SIMMs are installed, Bank button 9) selects the

Sampled Sound BankSet (in Sounds mode only). This enables you to “call up” the BankSets

rapidly, in any order.
