PRESET PROGRAMMING
When your ZETA SYNTHONY II is in preset mode, you can press the
EDIT button to program/edit a preset. Press the EXIT button until you
return to normal play mode.
VOLUME
Volume level (0…127)
Every preset allows for an independent volume level that you set here.
Using the +/- Value buttons set the level for your sound to a value of your
choosing.
TRANSPOSE
Transposition (-36…+36)
You can set a pitch offset in half step increments to affect the tuning for
this split. This is a way for you to play notes with your instrument that you
couldn’t normally reach with the instrument alone. For our example set this
value to –12 (–1 octave), so that the Bass will play within its typical range.
QUANTIZE
Pitch Quantization (AUTO, OFF, ON, TRIGGER)
With this parameter you tell your ZETA SYNTHONY II to execute pitch
changes using your normal pitchbend settings or step-wise (quantized):
AUTO:
This setting corresponds to your ZETA SYNTHONY II’s unique ability to
recognize your intentions as you play with respect to pitch quantization and
then translate them appropriately. Chords for example, are interpreted
exactly (no pitchbend information), whereas for melodic notes of a solo
which contain string bends and slides, pitch quantization is turned off,
allowing for normal pitchbend information to be sent.
OFF:
All pitch changes (slides, etc.) will be translated into pitchbend information
allowing for true representation of what you play. (see Global Parameters:
Pitchbend range).
ON:
Any variation in pitch will NOT be translated in pitchbend information
until the given pitch reaches the next half step and will at that point jump to
the new pitch chromatically, but using pitchbend information and NOT
sending new note information. Slides, etc. will not be carried out as they
