Operating Manual
Controls at the front panel
The MAQ16/3 features the following controls and displays:
•
3 rows of 16 potentiometers (dials) and LEDs each
•
3-digit LED-display
•
8 MENU-buttons in 2 rows of 4 buttons each
•
8 LEDs (serving as indicators for the MENU-buttons)
•
1 Data-entry dial
The three rows of dials serve to adjust the sequences. The LEDs above the dials indicate
the active step in each row.
The 8 MENU-buttons and their indicator LEDs are used to activate the various operating
modes. The data-entry dial allows rapid editing of the desired parameters.
Operation
Switching the Sequencer On
After the power supply is plugged-in the display should show the software version (e.g. 350
for version 3.50) and the 8 LEDs light for a short moment.
After that the display shows the tempo in BPM (Beats per minute), which can be altered via
the data entry dial. The 8 LEDs above the MENU-buttons will be off (i.e. no menu is
selected).
If this is not the case either the MAQ16/3 or the power supply is defective. Please first check
the power supply before you return the MAQ. Maybe the polarity of the power supply used is
wrong (ring must be GND, pin must be +9...12V, a minimum current of 500mA is required).
After turning the MAQ on preset 1 is called up and you are in the Edit Mode. The positions of
the 48 knobs do not correspond to the Midi/CV data sent via MIDI out/CV out if you start the
sequencer with the Start/Stop button as the 48 step values are taken from preset 1 (for
details see Preset).
H If you have updated from 2.0 to 3.0:
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.
