Control unit
Sound 1 to Sound 4
buttons
Buttons for switching a sound on and priming it within a setup. The LED for the given sound
button indicates its status. You can change the status by pressing the buttons repeatedly.
LED lights up steadily: The sound is played with the current setup.
LED off: The sound is muted in the current setup.
LED flashes: The sound is primed, meaning that it can be edited in real-time using the control
features on Neuron’s modules (for example, the shaper wheels or sticks).
You will find out how to load a sound into a setup on page 65.
If you want to mute an activated sound without priming it first, press and hold the appropriate
sound button for several seconds until the LED extinguishes (one second should do).

Setup button Switches back and forth between sound and setup modes. The LED above the button lights up
when Neuron is in setup mode. You will find basic info on the two operating modes starting on
page 32. For a detailed explanation of the programming process, read the section starting on
page 67.
Controllers button Calls up the controller menu in which you can assign specific modules and functions to the free
controllers. To learn more about this, read the section "Free controllers" starting on page 162.
Copy/paste button Serves to copy parameter sets from one sound to another. To learn more about this, read the
section "Neuron’s copy/paste function" starting on page 54.
Load/dump button Starts the function that writes (or dumps) and loads models, sounds, setups, and Neuron software
via the USB interface to and from a connected PC/MAC. It also serves to transfer system exclusive
data. To learn more about this, read the section "Updates and Backups" starting on page 185.
