Oscillators - Modal Electronics 008 User Manual

Global
To access the Global Settings page, you can press number '5' on the keypad: the screen will
show you the 3 available parameters.
1. Auto Tune: Modal 008's voice architecture is made from discrete electronic components
so the synthesiser's oscillator and filter will need to occasionally be retuned, generally
after it has been moved or when there have been changes in temperature or humidity
where it is being used or after extended periods of not being used.
We recommend waiting for your 008 to reach a normal operating temperature, which
will take approx. 10 mins.
PLEASE ENSURE YOU TURN THE VOLUME OF YOUR 008 DOWN TO ZERO BEFORE
BEGINNING AUTOTUNE as loud noises will be made from the synthesiser during the
whole tuning process.
2. Tune: This parameter allows you to tune your 008 in fractions of a semi tone, where the
max value (+63) equals a one semi tone offset above the standard tune and min value
(-63) equals a one semi tone offset below the standard tune.
3. PageSwitch: the Modal 008 display is context sensitive: this means that the parameter
associated to any encoder touched by the user is immediately displayed. You can disable
this option by turning the value of this PageSwitch option off.
4. Brightness: This parameter controls the LCD screen brightness.
