Track effects window
Here you control the track effect parameters for all
tracks.
Routing window
Here you control the routing page parameters for all
tracks.
CONTROL 8 PARAMETERS “CTR-8P”
This Control machine is used for grouping together
the parameters you manipulate the most into a single
window. The parameters can belong to different
tracks. This can be convenient in a live situation,
allowing less pressing of buttons to reach the desired
parameters. One CTR-8P machine can contain 8 of
these track and parameter short cuts. The CTR-8P can
also function as a sort of “trigless trig” since it can
manipulate parameters without trigging the corre-
sponding drum sound.
Synthesis window
This page shows an overview of all the grouped
parameters, which tracks they belong to and what val-
ues they have.
P1 - First shown is the track that P1 is assigned to. Under
the displayed track, the controlled parameter is visible.
Under this, the current value of the parameter is repre-
sented. Manipulating P1 will therefore manipulate the cho-
sen parameter on the selected track.
P2-P8 - The same function as P1
Track effects window
In this window, together with the ROUTING menu, you
assign the parameters and tracks that are going to be
visible in the overview in the SYNTHESIS menu. You
set up 4 of these track and parameter short cuts in the
TRACK EFFECTS window.
P1 TRK - Chooses the track that will be affected by the P1
parameter on the SYNTHESIS page.
P1 PAR - Chooses which parameter that will be affected
by the P1 parameter on the SYNTHESIS page.
P2-P4 TRK - The same function as P1 TRK
P2-P4 PAR - The same function as P1 PAR

The next 4 routings are made here.
CONTROL RHYTHM ECHO DELAY “CTR-RE”
Use this control machine to control the parameters of
the RHYTHM ECHO delay. The effects and routing
pages look the same for all the master effect control
machines, therefore they will be described only for the
RHYTHM ECHO delay.
Synthesis window
This page shows the same parameters as found in the
STEREO MASTER EFFECTS menu under the ECHO
tab.
TIME - Controls the actual delay time. It is relative to the
current tempo, and it is measured in 128th notes. For
instance, for a two beat delay (8 16th notes) TIME should
be set to 64.
MOD - Controls the delay time modulation depth.
MFRQ - Controls the delay time modulation frequency.
FB - Controls the delay feedback amount. The feedback is
taken after the filter but before the out gain control. FB set
to central position with filter totally open gives unity feed-
back.
FILTF - The filter base frequency parameter. For a
description of the functionality of the filter, see “THE
RHYTHM ECHO DELAY” on page 29.
FILTW - The filter width parameter. Please refer to the text
found under the heading “THE RHYTHM ECHO DELAY”
on page 29 for a description of the functionality of the filter.
MONO - the feedback panning control parameter. A low
value gives ping pong style delay, a high value preserves
the stereo information, and a central position brings the
delay feedback into the central panning position.
LEV - The out gain level control of the RHYTHM ECHO
delay.
