Doepfer MAQ16/3 Sequencer - Manual (Page 22)

Page 22
In order to initialize one preset or the whole preset-memory it is necessary to press and hold
the Preset button for a few seconds while the MAQ is switched ON (i.e. when plugging in the
power supply cable). In this case the MAQ starts the initialising routine rather then the
normal software. The LEDs 1-6 are illuminated to indicate this special mode. The display
shows „000“ and can be adjusted with the data dial between „000“ and „030“. The
initialisation is triggered by the preset button and depends upon the display before pressing
the preset button:
0 ➩ the whole preset memory is initialized
(30 presets)
1...30 ➩ only the preset displayed is initialized
In case „0“ the LEDs flicker like a binary counter to indicate the initialisation. This function
will irretrievably erase the preset(s) and should thus be used with caution! After initialisation
the MAQ must be turned off and on again to enter the regular mode.
Presets initialized imply the parameters from preset 0 (i.e. event type nA1 for all rows, MIDI
channel 1/2/3, first step = 1, last step = 16, gate/note divider = 6, mode = forward). The data
values are taken from actual front panel setting of the 48 potentiometers. So you have to
turn all knobs full ccw if you want to initialize all data with 36 (minimum value of event nA1).
START/STOP
This is not a menu but a Start/Stop-button. Pressing this MENU-button will alternately start
or stop the sequence. The appropriate MIDI-instructions START, STOP or CONTINUE are
sent along with MIDI-clock via MIDI-OUT.
In case of START the sequence starts from the last configuration (no resetting of the three
rows to step 1, MIDI-OUT: CONTINUE / $FB). If all three rows are to start with step 1
(Reset) then the START/STOP-menu must be briefly exited and reentered (MIDI-OUT:
START / $FA).
In this menu the display will show the tempo in beats per minute (BPM), the tempo can be
adjusted with the data-entry dial.
