Top Row Control Panel Buttons and Indicators
Just above the panel graphics, outside the “case” of the TimewARP 2600, is a horizontal
row of buttons and indicators for patch storage, import/export, voice-cloning, and other
operations.
These powerful features of the TimewARP 2600 have no equivalent in the world of analog
synthesis; they are unique digital extensions of the original ARP 2600 synthesizer.
4.1.1
Patch Lock Button (Padlock Icon)
This padlock button helps you to avoid accidentally overwriting your favorite patch.
Basically it disables the
Save
button, while leaving the
Save As
button enabled. Under
these conditions, you can save your current patch only by assigning it a new name.
4.1.2
Group, Category, and Patch Drop-Down Lists
The TimewARP 2600 gives you a three-level hierarchy for storing and organizing your
patches. All
Patches
are sorted into various
Categories,
which are in turn sorted into major
Groups.
Each of the three patch selection buttons generates a drop-down list associated
with one layer in this hierarchy.
Groups, Categories,
and
Patches
can also be selected by keyboard shortcuts. The up/down
arrow keys on the computer keyboard select
Patches,
the left/right arrow keys move
between
Categories,
and using the control key with the left/right arrow keys moves
between
Groups.
4.1.3
Save Button.
The
Save
button saves the current patch con guration and settings under the name of
the most recently loaded patch. This button is disabled if the patch is locked (see 4.1.1
above).
