Module: Programmer

Basic settings button Calls up the menu offering basic settings that let you set up the device according to your wishes

and preferences. Basic settings have a bearing on the device as a whole rather than a single

sound or setup.

You will find a list of basic settings as well as instructions on how to define them on page 36.

Exit/panic button This button has two functions:

• The exit function facilitates navigation in the menus. In sound mode, pressing exit briefly returns

you to the top level of the sound menu, sound loader. In setup mode, pressing exit either jumps

to the most recently edited menu option of the setup menu or, if you are already working in the

setup menu, to setup loader. In some cases, exit also serves to cancel the operation that is

currently underway, for example, when storing a sound/setup or when Neuron asks you if you

really want to switch it off.

• If you press and hold the button until the LED extinguishes (three seconds should do), you will

activate the panic function. This generates an all notes off command, and that spells immediate

silence, say, in the event of a hung note. It tells both Neuron’s internal workings as well as the

MIDI setup to shut up. After rebooting, Neuron comes back on line in the same mode that it was

in before the panic attack occurred. All settings remain intact.

Navigation stick and

rotary knob

After you retrieve the menu of a given module, you can edit using the navigation stick and knob

(located to the left and right of the main display, respectively): Stick.down and stick.up to

scroll through the main menu options. Stick.right and stick.left to jump to and scroll through

submenus if on hand.

The rotary knob edits the current parameter. Depending on the parameter, you can either select

among predefined settings or adjust a numeric value.

For certain menu options, pressing the knob is tantamount to pressing the enter button (see

page 31).
