GLOBAL SETTINGS(Continued)
NOTE PRIORITY
You can select which note will have priority on Grandmother’s monophonic keyboard - the highest
note played, the lowest note played, or the most recent note played. To change the note priority, press
the (C#1) key, and then use the rst three white keys to select LOW (F0), HIGH (G0), or LAST (A0). The
Default is LAST.
PITCH BEND RANGE
The pitch bend range of Grandmother’s PITCH wheel can be set anywhere from 1 to 12 semitones. To
adjust the Pitch Bend Range setting, press the (D#1) key, and then use the lowest 12 white keys (F0 to
C2) to select the corresponding number of semitones (1-12). The Default is 2 semitones.
EXTERNAL CLOCK MODE
Via the real panel CLOCK IN jack, Grandmother can either sync to an external clock signal, or advance
each time a gate or trigger signal is received. To specify the external clock mode, rst press the (F#1)
key, and then use the rst two white keys to select CLOCK (F0), or STEP-ADVANCE (G0). The Default
is CLOCK.
EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT PPQN
To be sure that Grandmother’s Sequencer and Arpeggiator sync correctly to an External Clock, you
can determine how many pulses are received per quarter note (PPQN). To edit the PPQN value, rst
press the (G#1) key, and then use the rst eight white keys to choose the number of clock pulses
received per quarter note. (F0) = 1 PPQN; (G0) = 2 PPQN; (A0) = 3 PPQN; (B0) = 4 PPQN; (C1) = 5
PPQN; (D1) = 6 PPQN; (E1) = 7 PPQN; (F1) = 8 PPQN; (G1) = 9 PPQN; (A1) = 10 PPQN; (B1) = 11 PPQN;
(C2) = 12 PPQN; (D2) = 24 PPQN; (E2) = 48 PPQN. The Default is 2PPQN.
CLOCK OUTPUT PPQN
To be sure that external devices sync correctly to Grandmother’s Sequencer and Arpeggiator, you can
set how many pulses are sent per quarter note (PPQN). To edit the PPQN value, rst press the (A#1)
key, and then use the rst eight white keys to choose the number of clock pulses sent per quarter note.
(F0) = 1 PPQN; (G0) = 2 PPQN; (A0) = 3 PPQN; (B0) = 4 PPQN; (C1) = 5 PPQN; (D1) = 6 PPQN; (E1)
= 7 PPQN; (F1) = 8 PPQN; (G1) = 9 PPQN; (A1) = 10 PPQN; (B1) = 11 PPQN; (C2) = 12 PPQN; (D2) = 24
PPQN; (E2) = 48 PPQN. The Default is 2PPQN.
KB OUT RANGE
The voltage range of Grandmother’s KB OUT (pitch CV) jack can be either -5 to +5 Volts, or 0 to 10
Volts. To adjust the KB OUT Range setting, press the (C#2) key, and then use the rst two white keys
to select -5V to +5V (F0), or 0V to 10V (G0). The Default is -5V to +5V.
LOCAL ON / OFF
Grandmother can be used to drive external synthesizer modules, as well as its own internal sound
engine and modules. In some cases, you may wish to have Grandmother only controlling an external
setup. By setting the Local parameter to OFF, Grandmother’s Keyboard, PITCH wheel, and Arpeggiator
are only transmitted through the KB OUT, GATE OUT, KB VELOCITY OUT jacks, and MIDI, and do not
use any hard-wired connections to play the internal sound engine. To access the Local setting, rst
press the (D#2) key, and then use the lowest 2 white keys to select LOCAL OFF (F0), or LOCAL ON
(G0). The Default is Local ON.
