Track-Menu
As already mentioned, the Memotron makes use of sample data to produce its sounds. To play them,
these sounds have to be loaded into the internal memory of the Memotron. Tracks contain all sound-
data (samples) for a specific sound.
The track menu provides functions to load tracks from CD-ROM and Compact-Flash-Card. Next to
this, tracks can be saved to a memory card or, if desired, be deleted. Suitable Compact-Flash-Cards
can be purchased at Manikin Electronic.
i The Memotron is compatible with the G-Media M-Tron® plug-In and is therefore capable to
use its sound library without limitations. You may use CD-ROMs delivered with the G-Media
M-Tron® plug-In directly in your Memotron.
i M-Tron® soundfiles (file-name .cpt) that are installed on your Windows PC cannot be
copied and used in the Memotron. It is no problem to copy soundfiles from your G-Media
M-Tron® CD-ROMs on your PC, organize them and then use them in the Memotron. Mac
users do not have to care about this. They may also copy installed M-Tron® soundfiles and
use them in their Memotron.
Load Tracks
Up to three tracks simultaneously can be loaded into the Memotron’s internal memory. Please make
sure, that the desired CD-ROM and / or Flash-Card has been inserted into the drive / card-slot.
Please see chapters “Change Disc” respectively “Change Memory Card” on page 14.
To select the desired track destination (A:, B: or C:), click the DATA-knob. You are now prompted to
the track menu. Select "Load Track" to enter the file system. Quite similar to an ordinary PC, drives
(CD-ROM and Flash-Card slot at the Memotron) can be selected and directories and files can be
accessed.
Clicking the DATA-knob while a directory is selected will enter this directory. Clicking the DATA-knob
while an .mtk or .cpt file is selected will load the sample data into the previously selected track slot.
When clicking ”. .” in the file system view, you are prompted back to the next higher directory-level.
Pressing the ESC-button in the file system view cancels the loading process and the display returns to
the track menu.
Clicking the DATA-knob again will load the selected track into the internal memory (RAM) of the
Memotron.
Please note, that a previously loaded track will then be overwritten without warning.
Once a directory-path has been used, you will be automatically re-routed to it at the next loading,
saving or deleting process.
When loading is done, the display jumps back to the track settings.
