Function Overview
The Memotron is capable to keep up to three sounds at one time in its internal memory.
i Single sounds are called TRACK.
Realtime Sound-manipulation Functions
The panel offers various controls to tweak sound-parameters in realtime. These parameters are
performance oriented and will not be stored as part of a Track .
• A B C selects a Track that has been loaded into the internal memory. When moving the knob, the
Tracks are continously crossfaded in order to simulate the move of the tape-head.
• PITCH shifts pitch 3 halftones up and 3 halftones down. This will slightly affect the maximum
duration of a played note.
• TONE changes the sonic character with help of a passive 12 dB lowpass filter.
• HALF SPEED emulates halving the tape-speed. The duration of a played note is increased from 8
to 16 seconds. The playback-pitch will be lowered by one octave. HALF SPEED also emulates a
slight reduction of the audio-quality, especially in higher frequency ranges.
• VOLUME adjusts master volume.
