ARTIST 2000
OPERATING MANUAL

INTRODUCTON
Congratulations for having chosen ARTIST 2000 SOLTON. We are
sure that this instrument will be of great help to you in
order to create the most outstanding music for you and for
your audience.
CONNECTIONS
To connect the ARTIST 2000 to the mains, insert the cable of
the transformer into the jack POWER IN on the ARTIST. If you
have also the SOLTON accordion available, connect it to
the module as shown on the figure, by means of the
special cable coming with the instrument (P OWER OUT - MIDI
N). If you are going to use the ARTIST together with a
keyboard or master-keyb o ard, y o u h ave to con n ect the MIDI
OUT on the keyboard to the MIDI IN on the ARTIST, Y o u t hen
have to c onnec t the gen e rato r t o the ext ernal ampli f ier
on the two stereo outputs L (mono) and R and on the Volume
pedal. To obtain the best sound qu a lity pos sible , i t i s
important th a t you use a stereo amplifier with excellent
diffusers, f o r e xampl e t h e monit o r 1 5/3 Micr o S OLTON . If you
have an additional MIDI - M odul e avai l able, y ou make an audio
connection to the INPUTS of the ARTIST, in order to control
both the ARTIST and the mod ule with the same volume peda1.
You then have to connect: the small pedal START/STOP - FILL
to the special socket on the back, and the standard unit of
the ARTIST 2000 is re a dy for use . If you have pu r chase d a l so
the 6-effects pedal (optional), you can con nect it to the
jack EFFECT PEDAL. Th i s p edal will allow you to easily
control at distance the foll o wing fun c tions : TOUCH START,
REGISTRATION (progressive adv a ncing of th e Reg i strat i ons),
VARIATION, ENDING, GLIDE (Hawaii eff e ct), SU STAIN (Sustain
for the right hand). On the back of the instrument, further
to the two outputs L ( Mono) a nd R, you w ill find also the
outputs BASS and RHYT H M, whic h w i ll permi t y ou to
separately amplify the Bass and the Rhythm. In that case
neither the Bass nor the Rhythm a re cont r olle d a n y m ore by
the ped a l volume, but t h ey are a mp1i f i e d a t a c o n s t a n t vo1u
m e. You can a l so set the lu minos i ty of the Dis p lay by mean s
of the LCD CONTRAST pote n tiom e ter, and you have the
possibility t o tune yo u r ARTIS T 2 0 00 with th e a c cordi o n or
with the keybo a rd by means o f t h e p otent i omet e r T UNE.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The ARTIST 2000 has three basic operating modes: PRESET,
PROGRAM and REGISTRATION.
In the PRESET mode, you can freely choose the sounds of the
ARTIST (right, left, rhythm etc.), and you can modify from
the accordion the 128 pitches of the right hand by means of
the buttons 1-16 and by means of the 8 Banks.
In the PROGRAM mode, you can as well choose the sounds of
the ARTIST for the left hand and for the Rhythm, but for
the right hand you can select only the PROGRAMS, which
are already programmed combination of several pitches for
the right hand.
In the REGISTRATION mode, a l l the functions of the ARTIST
are programmed in memory, and if the number of the
registration is changed, the complete situation of the
control panel is changed.
The latter mode should be the one roost frequently used, with
utmost individual programs to be prepared by the musician
for his repertoire before playing in public.
DEMO REGISTRATIONS / DEMO PROGRAMS
The ARTIST 2000 is equipped with 64 Demo Programs and with
64 Demo Registrations already programmed, and so it: is ready
for immediate playing. The demos are assigned to the Banks
A,B,C and D. The Banks E,F,G and H have been left empty to
allow you to program your own combinations.
Please read the two lists DEMO PROGRAMS and DEMO
REGISTRATIONS at the end of this manual.
We suggest that you listen to the demos in order to have
within a short time a rather complete idea of the Rhythms
and of the Arrangements of the ARTIST 2000. You may modify
the demos at any time.
The empty banks will be very .useful to you in order to try
all kind of programming without having to cancel
programs supplied by SOLTON.
In order to select the Demo Registrations (or the Demo
Programs), you have to:
1) Press Registration
2) On the section Right Hand, press button 1 of the
button row 1-16 and select Bank A.
3) The following message appears on the display:
01 WALTZ 172
L:2d 8d 4d R:1a

The display is giving you precise information on the
content of the first Registration:
172 stands for the speed of the Tempo
L stands for Left Hand
2d is the Bass pitch
8d is the pitch of Chord 1
4d is the pitch of Chord 2
R s t an d s f o r R i g ht H a n d
la is the name of the first registration,
4) To select, other registrations, press other numbers of
the b uttons 1 -16.
RHYTHM AND AUTOMATIC SECTION
The ARTIST 2000 is equipped with 32 preset Rhythms. Each one
inc1udes a Custom Variation (which in rea1ity means 64 rhythms), an Intro,
as many Fill Ins as there are beats forming the rhythm, and
the Ending.

For the chords, there are three main operating modes: CUSTOM

most adequate for soft music and makes it nearly impossible
to detect the use of automatic devices.

To insert the Automatic Section, proceed in the following
way :
1) Make sure that on the front panel of the ARTIST 2000
the following buttons are pressed : AUTO BASS, CHORD 1,
CHORD 2, CUSTOM ARRANGER, MEMORY.
2) Choose a rhythm between 1 and 32 (the preset rhythms
are listed on the right side of the Display). To select
the rhythm, always insert two numbers on the button
row, for ex. 1 and 4 to set Swing, which corresponds to
nr. '14.
3) Press Start, and the rhythm will start playing.
4) Then play a chord on the left hand to set the complete
automatic going.
5) Adequately balance the volume of the single sections.
6) Insert or disconnect Snare Off and Ride Off to see how
the rhythm is varied.
7) Intro / Fill In, The Intro covers one beat and works
on1y before the Rhythm starts.
The Fill In can be started also when the rhythm already
plays and will terminate at the end of the beat, except
for when the button is not released. In the latter case
its rhythmic structure will be continuously repeated.
8) Ending. This element is used to definitively terminate
a performance.
9} Touch Start. When Touch Start is inserted, the Rhythm
and the Accompaniment will start only after the keys of
the left hand have been pressed. The Touch Start does
not work if Memory is inserted, except for the initial
start.
HOW TO CHANGE THE PITCHES OF THE
AUTOMATIC SECTIOIS
When Custom Arranger is selected, the sounds of the
Automatic Section can be modified only if VOICE CHANGE is
pressed.
You can choose the different pitches by selecting the 4
banks and the different effect groups Bass, Chord 1 and
Chord 2. Remember that there are 32 different pitches
available for the Bass, 32 for Chord 1 and 32 for Chord 2.
Important: Only pitches of the same bank can be selected. In
other words, you cannot combine a pitch from bank A with a
pitch from bank B.

MANUAL BASS
If you wish to manually play the Bass., just disconnect the
AUTO BASS function. You may choose the octave of the bass

codes of each percussion instrument both in Reception (RX)
and Transmission (TX), thus enabling a perfect communication
to take place between the ARTIST 2000 and other MIDI rhythm
sections.
If you wish for example that a drums roll on the ARTIST 2000
causes a drums roll to play also on another MIDI percussion
group, we will have to change the Snare Drum transmission
code of the Artist so that it corresponds to the Snare Drum
reception code on the percussion group connected in MIDI
reception.
