that the synthesizer is ready to program a new CHORD.
Each of the keys which have been assigned to trigger a chord, will be marked
with the letter T as shown below:
DELETING A POLY CHORD - To delete a chord you fi rst need to select the trigger
key. This can be done using the rotary knob, the -/NO and +/YES switches, or by
pressing the trigger key for the chord you wish to delete.
The selected key will be highlighted by a dotted line as shown above. When the
key is selected press the DELETE soft switch. The chord will be deleted and the
letter T will no longer be shown. You will also see the message "Armed"
indicating that the synthesizer is ready to record a new CHORD.
EXITING THE POLY CHORD SCREEN - Press the EXIT soft switch to exit the POLY
CHORD page. This will return you to the PROG screen but POLY CHORD mode will
still be active and the POLY CHORD switch will be illuminated.
EXITING POLY CHORD MODE - Press the POLY CHORD switch again to turn off
POLY CHORD MODE, the switch will no longer be illuminated.
Note: In POLY CHORD mode you can play a sequence of chords using the trigger
keys while playing individual notes using unassigned keys.
Note: You can use the rotary knob and/or the -NO and +/YES switches to scroll
the zoomed view up and down the keyboard. This is useful when you want to see
any playing notes which are outside of the current zoom position.
Note: When the keyboard local control is on, all chords will be sent to any
connected devices. When keyboard local control is off only the trigger note
will be sent to any connected devices. When the trigger notes are received the
DeepMind 12 will play respective chords based on incoming trigger notes.
Note: The number of POLY CHORDs you can program is limited, depending on the
number of notes used in each POLY CHORD. There is enough space for 216 notes,
e.g. 36 x 6 note POLY CHORDs.

8.1.4 TAP/HOLD SWITCH

TAP=FLASH
HOLD=ON
The TAP/HOLD switch has two functions:
TAP - When you strike the TAP switch successively the DeepMind 12 will calculate
the Master BPM value from the tempo of your tapping. After 5 taps the BPM will
update to the tempo of your tapping.
The BPM is calculated on an average of the last 5 taps, so you can continue
tapping until you feel the displayed tempo is correct.
Note: If you are using an external sync source the TAP/HOLD switch will fl ash at
the rate of the external source.
The supported TAP TEMPO range for both internal and external sources is from
20.0-275.0 BPM
HOLD - When you press and hold the TAP/HOLD switch for more than 1 second,
the switch is illuminated and HOLD mode is active. In this mode when you press
any key it will be held on and the ARPEGGIATOR will continue playing.
If you press a key and hold it down, you can add other notes to the ARPEGGIATOR.
Once you release all keys the ARPEGGIATOR will continue to play until you press
another key.
Note: The HOLD switch can also be used without the ARPEGGIATOR function.
When the ARPEGGIATOR is off and the HOLD switch is pressed it will hold and
played notes in their SUSTAIN phase of all ENVELOPEs. This can be useful during
sound design when you want to work on the sustained content of a program and
operate the surface controls with both hands.
To turn HOLD mode off press and hold the TAP/HOLD switch again for more than 1
second, the switch is no longer illuminated and HOLD mode is no longer active.
The default HOLD setting is OFF.
