Studio Electronics ATC-1X - Manual (Page 21)

Located in this section is the display and rotary encoder, which along
with the membrane front panel, makeup the user interface. Playing
and programming the
ATC-X involves two basic modes of operation:
Patch Play Mode and Edit Mode. In Patch Play mode, the unit will
cycle through its 512 patches when the encoder is turned. The
ATCX
enters Edit Mode when any parameter or function of a patch is
selected, at which the edit periods will appear. You are always in Patch
Play Mode, when A: no editing has been done; B: you have just saved
a patch; C: you have exited the edit mode by pressing
exit/bank exit/bank , and
D: upon power up.
With the exit/bank exit/bank and save save switch pads, the basic utility functions
of the unit are performed. These two do the work of six. Read the
instructions below carefully to fully understand each operation.
To Save a patch: To save a sound to the patch memory, press save save once; the display
will flash the current patch number, pressing save save again will record it to its current location;
to save the sound to a new location, rotate the encoder to the desired number, then press
save save once again.
To Exi t an edi ted patch: If at any time after editing a patch you wish to return to the
Patch Number Display Mode, press the exit/bank exit/bank switch pad.
To C ompare an edited patch: After a patch has been edited, press and hold
exit/bank exit/bank then press save. You will then hear the un-edited originally saved patch, at this
point no switch pad will be recognized, except for exit/bank
exit/bank: press this to get back to the
edited patch. The display and encoder will return to the last edited parameter. Remember, a
sound must first be edited to use this function.
To change the MIDI Channel: The MIDI channel can be changed only, before a
patch has been edited. Press and hold exit/bank, exit/bank, then press save save; the display will show the
current MIDI channel - use the encoder to edit. This is the same procedure required to
"edit/compare” except that it must be performed prior to any patch editing.
To quickly change the memory Bank: Once again this is done only before a
patch has been edited. Press and hold exit/bank exit/bank then rotate the encoder. The patch
number will change in increments of 128 steps in either direction.
To i ni tiate a SYS EX bank dump: Press and hold save save, and then press
exit/bank exit/bank. Each bank is transmitted individually. To send a SYSEX dump of bank 1, set patch
number to 1
1; to send bank 2, set patch number to 129 129; to send bank 3, set patch number to
25 7 25 7; to send bank 4, set patch number to 385 385.
