The mutes remain effective after leaving the Single Step Menu. Thus you have a tool to
program the mutes within the MAQ without using the remote control functions via MIDI In
(see Appendix A).
To reenter the Global Single Step Mode when beeing in the Single Step Mode for one Row
first you have to leave the menu by pressing another menu button (except the Start/Stop
button) and enter the Single Step menu again.
The single step-mode can also be used for live performances and experimenting. For
example, once a sequence or chord-combination has been completed, then each of the 16
steps can be selected in realtime via the data-entry dial (i.e. each step can be dynamically
"scanned"). Output continues to occur in step with the internal or external MIDI-clock. It is
also possible to achieve spontaneous changes by turning the dials of the currently selected
step.
Use of the single step-mode should definitely not be limited to the input of a sequence, but
should also be used for experimentation during live performances.
PRESET
This global menu is used to manage the 30 available presets and to manually trigger the
DUMP-function. Up to 30 complete sequences can be stored and retrieved (i.e. all
parameters and the settings of the 48 dials). Preset 1 has a special status here. When the
MAQ is switched ON all parameters including the data values of the 48 potentiometers are
retrieved from Preset 1. Thus when turning on the MAQ the 48 knob positions do not
necessarily correspond to the MIDI data sent when starting the sequence.
H If you have updated from 2.0 to 3.0:
Starting with V3.0 the 48 data values of each preset can be edited as well. The automatic
storage of all parameters into preset 1 is no longer available. If you want to store the last
configuration you have to store it explicitely into one of the presets before turning the MAQ
off. Use preset 1 if the configuration should be available after turning the MAQ.
When the MENU-button is pressed the LEDs 7 (Preset) and 8 (Start/Stop) will go on to
indicate the exceptional position of the global Preset menu with 2 LEDs.
