Studio Electronics ATC-1X - Manual (Page 10)

The Membrane
The front panel membrane of the ATC–X contains an array of switches, with each colored
pad located atop a single switch. To access any function or parameter; press with light to
moderate force on the desired switch pad.
Some of the switch pads have dual or multiple functions; which when pressed more than
once access the next function. In addition, a few functions are accessed by pressing and
holding one switch pad, then immediately pressing another.
A complete list of the multiple and combination switch pad operations is listed on the
"QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE" sheet.
*Note that the display blinks momentarily after each press, informing you that your action has
been recognized.
The Rotary Encoder
The main user interface in programming the ATC-X is the rotary encoder; which turns
smoothly in either direction for complete control. After a switch pad is pressed you will use
the encoder in almost all operations to edit or change any desired function or parameter.
Edits to certain sound parameters are transmitted as MIDI controller data.
Reading the Display
The 3 digit L.E.D. on the ATC–X is used to display parameter values, function assignments,
and all operations in an alphanumerical format. Abbreviations are used for most of the
function assignments; refer to the "MASTER SYMBOL KEY" on the "QUICK REFERENCE
GUIDE" sheet for explanations of the three digit abbreviations.
Three periods or dots also appear which represent the following: the left two periods show
that the programmed patch has been edited, and the right period shows that a MIDI note has
been received.
If you are ever confused as to whether you are looking at a patch number or parameter value,
press exit/bank
exit/bank and you will return to the Patch Number Display Mode.
