Wheels / Master Volume / Mode
The 2 wheels on the left side of the instruments are the most
popular real-time controls, used since the early Analogue
Synthesizer time; they allow to control both the Pitch Ben-
ding of the sound in a smooth way (left wheel) with an inter-
val that can be selected in the GLOBAL section (see related
chapter) while the second Mod (Modulation) wheel can con-
trol a number of dierent parameters that can be selected by
the related Destination control of the Modulation section, as
it is explained in the apposite paragraph.
All sounds / programs can be selected in 3 ways:
• By rotating the Value dial;
• Using the 2 Navigation tabs under the display;
• Selecting the related program change on the numerical
key pad; please note that 3 numbers should always be
selected to recall a certain sound (for instance: 001 to se-
lect sound n°1).
In order to make a sound selection faster (in real time per-
formances) the 10‘HOLD function allow to “x” the decimal
number of the desired sound and use the 10 key pad number
for a direct selection using only 1 button at the time: for in-
stance, activating 10 hold when the sound 100 is active, by
using the number from 1 to 9 the user can recall sound 101 to
109 only pressing the related number (from 1 to 9)
Allows to exit (escape) from any of the selected menu func-
tion (Arp, Midi, Global)
This control activates the Store function when a new sound
has been edited or created; pressing the Store the rst time
the function is ready and the user could change the related
number (program change); at the second Store selection the
related sound is stored in the memory. The Store function
consists of 3 pages, accessible thru the two Navigation but-
tons below the display.
• Store program to: by using the Value encoder the user can
select the position (001-999);
• Name: the push function selects the digit and the Value
encoder select the letter;
• Sound Category: to assign the program to one of the Cate-
gories (See Category Search).
This control is related to the Output level of the instrument
and also to the Headphones volume; we suggest to put the
Volume control at 0 before switching the instrument On or
O and to set the volume at a mid level (approx 64) in order
to leave some values for increasing the volume if/when nee-
ded. Please note that the Master Volume level (as any other
control) is shown on the display when the control is moved
(for approx 3-5 seconds)
This function allows to decide if all Filter and/or Envelope pa-
rameters are repeated at any new note or only when playing
“staccato” (releasing the ngers from the keys between a pla-
yed note/chord and the next one). This is a very useful feature
for maximum musical expression. In addition to this, if Single
Mode is selected and the Glide function is activated, the re-
lated Glide eect will be obtained only if playing “legato” (no
zero-notes during a scale or arpeggio) allowing a further mu-
sical real-time expression.
This function enables the “mono” playing mode for any se-
lected sound, that become a monophonic sound, conse-
quently no more than one (1) note at the time is played by
the internal sound module, despite the number of key actu-
ally played on the keyboard; the standard default function
plays the last note played on the keyboard, regardless its po-
sition (time priority)
