Sequential Take 5 Compact Synthesizer - Manual (Page 20)

11 Take 5 User’s Guide Global Settings
3 . Local Control: All Off, Key/Wheels Off, On— When on (the default),
the keyboard and front panel controls directly affect the Take 5. When
off, the controls are transmitted via MIDI but do not directly affect the
“local” synth (that is, the Take 5). This is primarily useful for avoiding
MIDI data loops that can occur with some external sequencers. When
key
/
wheels off
is selected, the front controls are enabled (so that you can
edit them) but the keyboard and Pitch/Mod wheels are off.
4 . Mono/Stereo: Stereo, Mono— The Take 5 defaults to stereo operation.
When set to Mono, this parameter defeats all pan settings and modula-
tion, effectively making each of the outputs a mono output.
5 . Pot Mode: Relative, Passthru, Jump— The rotary controls on the Take
5’s front panel are a mixture of “endless” rotary encoders and potentiom-
eters or “pots.” The pots are identifiable by their lined knobs and limited
amount of travel. There are three pot modes to determine how the synth
reacts when the programmable parameters are edited. (Master volume is
not programmable, so these modes don’t apply.)
When set to
relative
, changes are relative to the stored setting. In Rela-
tive mode, the full value range is not available until either the minimum
or maximum value and the respective lower or upper limit of the pot’s
travel is reached.
For example, the Resonance parameter has a value range of 0 to 254.
Let’s say the physical position of the Resonance pot is 12 o’clock. If
you switch to a program that has a different Resonance setting and turn
the pot all the way up, it may not go to its maximum value. To get to the
maximum value, you first have to turn down until the value is at the other
extreme and the pot is at the limit of its travel (in this case, 0 and fully
counter-clockwise, respectively).
In
passthru
mode, turning the pot has no effect until after the edited
value equals the preset value (that is, until the edited value “passes
through” the stored value).
jump
mode uses an absolute value based upon the position of the pot
when edited: turn a pot and the value jumps immediately from the stored
value to the edited value.
