MORPH KITS
A morph kit is a normal kit that is loaded as morph target. Any kit can be loaded as
a morph target.
Loading
> Press LOAD + MORPH
> Select the preset number of the kit you want to load.
> Push the encoder.
> The morph sound is loaded.
> Please note that you won't hear any change if the morph parameter value is set to
zero.
> Use the morph parameter on the performance page to morph the current kit into
the loaded morph kit.
Saving
You can also save the resulting sounds from morph operations. Just press the
SAVE + MORPH buttons and save the sound as a new kit. Instead of the original
sound, the currently playing mixture of the 2 presets will be saved.
Did you know?
If morphing arbitrary presets is too drastic for you, try modifying your
favourite pattern just a little bit and save it to a new location. Now you
can control all tweaked parameters at once!
SONGS
The process to load and save songs is the same as described for the kits. Just use
the button combo Press LOAD + SONG or SAVE + SONG instead.
PATTERNS
Patterns are a special case as they have no name. Loading and saving is done in
a similar fashion like changing patterns in pattern mode.
Loading
> Press LOAD + PATTERN
> The screen will show “Select Pattern, Current: x”
> Now you can use the SEQUENCER and BAR buttons to select the pattern to load.
> If the sequencer is playing, the new pattern will start after the current pattern
has finished playing.
Saving
> Press SAVE + PATTERN
> The screen will show “Save Pattern, Current: x”
> Now you can use the SEQUENCER and BAR buttons to select where to save the
pattern.
> As soon as you press the SEQUENCER button, the display will show “success!”
and the pattern is saved.
1:1 up to 8:1 in dB. Strength of the
compression. For example a ratio of 2:1
will attenuate the volume of a signal
2dB above the treshold down to 1dB
above the treshold.
rat Compression ratio
Time it takes for the compressor to kick
in. 0.3 to 100ms range.
atk Attack
Time it takes to return to normal gain,
after the input falls below the treshold.
25 to 200ms range.
dec Decay
The treshold sets the level at which the
compression effect sets in. -96 to 0dB.
tre Treshold
Compression lowers the volume. Use
the output gain to make up for the
difference.
gai Makeup Gain
DELAY
Straight forward delay FX. Not much to say here. It’s a classic!
Try using the range control for very short delay times and LFO modulation to get
some flanger action going!
DELAY TYPES
The 4th parameter “type” selects the delay algorithm to use.
> Del – Mono delay
> Pp – Stereo ping pong delay. The feedback alternates between the left and right
channel. Pan must be set to a non zero value to work!
7.10. RELOAD BUTTON
Reload is a handy little function, that allows you to revert the current kit and
pattern back to its original state. If you tweaked the kit during a live performance
and want to revert all changes immediately, push SHIFT + RELOAD.
Displayed name Name Description
Delay. typ FX Type
Selects the Audio output the FX signal is
mixed to.
out Output routing
Mixing ratio between the original and the
FX signal.
d/w Dry / Wet ratio
Currently only 1 delay available. typ Delay type
Adjust the delay time in the range
specified by the range parameter.
tim Delay time
Sets the range for the delay time dial.
The low range is 1ms to 20ms
The high range is 20ms to 0.7sec.
rng Time range
Frequency of the lowpass filter in the
feedback path.
ton Tone
Controls the number of repeats. fbk Feedback
Parameters PROJECT
The process to load and save project is the same as described for the kits. Just
use the button combo Press LOAD + PROJECT or SAVE + PROJECT instead.
Where Projects are special is in regard to the place where they are saved. All
previous datatypes are loaded from and saved to the non persistent RAM region
where the project data is located. Projects however are saved to the memory
card and are the only way to save kits, songs and patterns so they will be
restored after a power cycle. Projects are containers that are a collection of Kits,
Patterns, Songs and settings.
7.5. PATTERN GENERATOR MODE
The pattern generator provides an easy way to generate interesting poly rhythms
on the fly. You just have to set the desired pattern length and the number of
active steps to generate a new pattern using the euclidean algorithm.
