Akai synthstation_studio - Manual (Page 8)

To adjust the point on the X/Y controller, touch anywhere on the pad and the point will
"jump" to that point. You can also touch and slide the point for finer adjustments. To
create a "patterned" modulation, you can touch and slide the point then release it to set
it in motion. It will remain in motion – likely ricocheting around the X/Y pad – until you
touch the pad to set it in one place again.
The Joystick controller allows you to move the point within a circular area (as opposed
to the rectangular X/Y pad).
You can also set the Joystick so the point automatically snaps back to center after you
release it from any point. To do this, touch the SNAP button, which will light when this
function is activated. You can adjust the speed at which the point moves back to the
center with the RETURN SPEED slider.
SYNTH EDIT
The Synth Edit Page allows you to adjust the modules in your Synths. The first screen
of the page shows you the 12 available modules. Touch one to enter it. To return to the
main Synth Edit Page, touch the BACK button or double-tap an area with no
buttons/sliders.
To adjust faders, touch anywhere along the fader line to make it "jump" to that point or
touch and slide a fader to adjust it. To adjust knobs, touch the knob and slide up or
down. To reset a knob, double-tap it.
You can change which Synth you are editing from any screen by touching the
TRANSPORT tab then touching SYNTH 1, SYNTH 2, or SYNTH 3.
GRID EDIT
The Grid Edit Page lets you edit your Sequences, one measure at a time, in grid format.
To select which measure or Sequence you are editing, touch the BACK or FORWARD
buttons to scroll through them.
Note: While playing a Song in the Grid Edit page (with Chain Mode activated), the grid
will only show one measure of each Sequence (though it will actually play every
measure), and that number measure will be the only one shown in each Sequence that
follows.
For instance, if you play a Song and are viewing Measure 3 of Sequence 1, you will
hear Sequence 1 playing normally but only see Measure 3. When Sequence 2 begins
