Page 21: Blending Tracks (Mix)
Blending Tracks (Mix) The Memotron m2k offers the possibility to blend three tracks. To control the blending effect, you can use the ABC Controller of the Memotron m2k or the modulation wheel of a connected master keyboard. By default, the cross-fading of the tracks is initially configured that position A of the ABC Controller is assigned to Track A, position B to Track B and position C to Track C. -
Page 22: Positioning Tracks
Like Track B, Track C is limited to 12 playable sounds from "C 4" to "H 4"(= B 4). With a connected keyboard, the sound can thus be played one octave higher from "C 4" to "H 4"(= B 4). Track C also is not fully visible due to restricted space. Memotron m2k OS v1.3 User Manual... -
