Moog Source MIDI KIT User's Manual Version 4.11 Encore Electronics 2455 Bates Ave. Unit E. Concord, CA 94520 email: support@encoreelectronics.com website:www.encoreelectronics.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing an Encore product. We hope you are as excited about analog synthesis as we are! Now that you are equipped with your SOURCE MIDI KIT memory expansion, your SOURCE is no longer obsolete. The new additions to your instrument: MIDI response, sixteen times more memory, MIDI to CV converter, and an arpeggiator capable of being clocked from MIDI, will allow you to utilize the unique sound of the SOURCE while at the same time incorporating it into your total music system.
Quick Reference Guide Keys and Controls All of the new functions can be accessed by the orange buttons with one exception: The MIDI channel select has been incorporated into the incremental controller. This was done because there are seventeen parameters, 1-16 for channels and 0 for Omni On. The other new features are single or double press parameters. They are all accessed as LEVEL 2 parameters.
Quick Reference Guide, cont To change MIDI Channels Press [LEVEL 2] Press [1] The current channel (or Omni) will be displayed on the edit LEDs. - Now turn the incremental controller to change channels. After selecting a channel, either press a different yellow button to edit, or select an orange patch button. This will lock the most recently selected channel into memory. NOTE: Use caution when performing the channel selection parameter.
SMK Level 2 Functions This page shows a modified picture of the front panel to help you with memorizing the new functions.
WHAT'S NEW Expanded Memory The memory of the SOURCE has been expanded in such a way that it is no longer necessary to use the cassette save functions. Instead, the SOURCE now has 256 patch (program) locations to which sounds may be saved. This has been accomplished through the use of banks. Currently there are sixteen banks of sixteen patches. To select a program, first select a bank. Once a bank is chosen then chose a patch (1-16) within the bank. (Selection of the patch is done as usual).
WHAT'S NEW, cont When the clock source is set to MIDI, another option is available. In this case, the PPQ function is active giving a choice of 24, 12, 6 or 3 MIDI timing clocks per quarter note. This feature has been added to allow some flexibility in the rate of the arpeggio relative to the tempo of the song being played. Also, when in the MIDI clock mode, the arpeggiator is capable of starting upon receiving a MIDI start command regardless of the SOURCE's mode.
SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS NOTES AND PITCH BEND The notes coming in from MIDI have priority over those played from the instrument's keyboard. Accordingly, MIDI pitch bend does not effect the notes played from the instrument, only the ones that come from MIDI. The SOURCE responds to a 4 octave range. The MIDI note numbers in decimal are: 36 to 84 inclusive. OCTAVE ENABLE When the SOURCE is playing from its own keyboard instead of from MIDI, it will scan the keyboard and the two octave buttons for information.
Installation Instructions The SMK should require between 1 to 2 hours to install. Depending on the particular firmware revision, you will either receive a 24 pin ROM (P# 2532) or a 28 pin ROM (P# 27256). The Source microprocessor board has the original 24 pin socket. We've included a 28 pin ROM socket on the SMK for future firmware updates. Whichever ROM you receive, plug it in the socket with the same number of pins as the IC. Also, pay attention to the orientation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, continued Note: If you want to retain the MIDI/CV function, you will need to keep the S-TRIG out jack intact. Either remount the S-TRIG jack, or mount the MIDI jacks somewhere other than the previously mentioned location. 4) Remove the digital board from the Source. Most of the connectors are different sizes and therefore should be easy to re-assemble. However, there are always exceptions! The two ribbon cables that connect the analog board can easily be mixed up.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, continued 9) Remount the digital board. 10) Solder the MIDI jack wires to the board as shown in the picture on the next page. 11) Install the new program ROM. (Remember to position the ROM in the correct orientation!) If we included the 28 pin ROM, it will already be installed for you. 12) Remount the keyboard. The pages following the calibration instructions show a pictorial installation approach.
CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS Overview The SMK takes advantage of the sequence transpose function to implement MIDI pitch bend. The two resistor and the 10K variable resistor (potentiometer or pot) are used to control the MIDI pitchbend range. The resistor located closest to the pot is used to scale the maximum amount of pitch bend. The pot is used to fine tune this adjustment. The other resistor (332K from Moog, or 665K from Encore), is used to bring the rear panel tune control into range.
CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS, continued Play low C while playing low C on another synthesizer. (Or have the MIDI output from the controller synth play the Source.) Adjust trimmer pot R127 until the two oscillators zero beat. Now play C3, and adjust pot R123 to zero beat the oscillators again. Check the above two steps until the Source oscillator 1 zero beats with the external oscillator.
