Master volume
35
This brings us to the very top of our hierarchy:
Multimode-specific data is stored at the setup level.
Each of the up to 512 setups that the setup database
can hold contains the following information:
• Name and number of the setup.
• Numbers of the four sounds.
• Volume level for every sound.
• Transpose setting for every sound.
• Detune setting for every sound.
• MIDI channel for every sound.
• Local on/off setting for every sound.
• The selected audio output for every sound.
• Pan setting for every sound.
• Key low and key high for every sound.
• Low and high velocity for every sound.
• Silver mix value for every sound.
• Delay send for every sound.
• Reverb send for every sound.
• Surround settings for every sound.
You will find in-depth information on these settings
in the parameter table on page 61.
Master volume
Adjust the overall volume of your Neuron using the
red master volume knob located below shaper 1.
The master volume knob controls the levels of all
analog audio outputs (stereo/surround and head-
phones) as well as the digital output (S/PDIF).
The current setting is not stored with a sound or
setup! Instead, when Neuron comes on line, it
automatically dials in the volume level set when you
last played the synth.
When you twist the master volume knob, the current
volume appears in the main display (the value range
is 0 to 127).
The four sounds contained in the setup are not
copied into the setup; they are referenced by their
numbers. The actual sound remains in the sound
database. Its data is copied from there when a setup
is loaded. Consequently, every change made to a
sound is automatically audible in the setup without
having to be stored anew.
At peak volume, Neuron delivers maximum dynamic
range with minimum converter noise. Back off the
volume on connected equipment and crank up
Neuron’s level. That said, though, you don’t want to
max out Neuron’s master volume; leave a little
reserve and, depending on sound, keep an eye (or
ear) on levels. You do not want any spikes to hurt
your ears or gear.
