Wheels / Master Volume / Mode
WHEELS Master Volume MODE
• Modulation • Trigger
• Pitch • Mono
Wheels The 2 wheels on the left side of the instruments are the most
popular real-time controls, used since the early Analogue
Synthesizer time; they allow to control both the Pitch Ben-
ding of the sound in a smooth way (left wheel) with an inter-
val that can be selected in the GLOBAL section (see related
chapter) while the second Mod (Modulation) wheel can con-
trol a number of different parameters that can be selected by
the related Destination control of the Modulation section, as
it is explained in the apposite paragraph.
Master Volume This control is related to the Output level of the instrument
and also to the Headphones volume; we suggest to put the
Volume control at 0 before switching the instrument On or
Off and to set the volume at a mid level (approx 64) in order
to leave some values for increasing the volume if/when nee-
ded. Please note that the Master Volume level (as any other
control) is shown on the display when the control is moved
(for approx 3-5 seconds)
Mode Trigger This function allows to decide if all Filter and/or Envelope pa-
rameters are repeated at any new note or only when playing
"staccato" (releasing the fingers from the keys between a pla-
yed note/chord and the next one). This is a very useful feature
for maximum musical expression. In addition to this, if Single
Mode is selected and the Glide function is activated, the re-
lated Glide effect will be obtained only if playing "legato" (no
zero-notes during a scale or arpeggio) allowing a further mu-
sical real-time expression.
Mode Mono This function enables the "mono" playing mode for any se-
lected sound, that become a monophonic sound, conse-
quently no more than one (1) note at the time is played by
the internal sound module, despite the number of key actu-
ally played on the keyboard; the standard default function
plays the last note played on the keyboard, regardless its po-
sition (time priority)

All sounds / programs can be selected in 3 ways:
• By rotating the Value dial;
Using the 2 Navigation tabs under the display;
•
• Selecting the related program change on the numerical
key pad; please note that 3 numbers should always be
selected to recall a certain sound (for instance: 001 to se-
lect sound n°1).
In order to make a sound selection faster (in real time per-
formances) the 10'HOLD function allow to "fix" the decimal
number of the desired sound and use the 10 key pad number
for a direct selection using only 1 button at the time: for in-
stance, activating 10 hold when the sound 100 is active, by
using the number from 1 to 9 the user can recall sound 101 to
109 only pressing the related number (from 1 to 9)
This control activates the Store function when a new sound
has been edited or created; pressing the Store the first time
the function is ready and the user could change the related
number (program change); at the second Store selection the
related sound is stored in the memory. The Store function
consists of 3 pages, accessible thru the two Navigation but-
tons below the display.
Store program to: by using the Value encoder the user can
•
select the position (001-999);
• Name: the push function selects the digit and the Value
encoder select the letter;
• Sound Category: to assign the program to one of the Cate-
gories (See Category Search).
Allows to exit (escape) from any of the selected menu func-
tion (Arp, Midi, Global)
