Effect Hold - Alesis airSynth Reference Manual

Effect Hold

The airSynth has a function that allows you to freeze the current effect
from the airSynth without needing to hold your hand in place. This
function is called Hold.
To use the Hold function:
1. Recall a program as described in the previous section. There should
be no decimal points showing in the display.
Note that there are no decimal points in the display, showing that the
effect is loaded and operational.
2. Move your hand around the Axyz controller, stopping your hand
position when you find an effect that you want to freeze.
3. Press and hold the Program knob for one second. A decimal point
should appear in the display between the first and second number
of the program.
A decimal point has appeared between the first and second digits of the
program number, showing that the Hold function is set.
4. Move your hand away from the Axyz controller. Notice that the
effect continues as if your hand was still there.
5. To turn off the hold function and resume normal operation, press
the Program knob one more time. The decimal point should go
away and you can use the Axyz controller again to modify the
sound.
On Program 2 and Programs 42-49, the Hold function puts the unit in a
different mode. These programs will be discussed later in this chapter.
