Technical handling The Synth Programmer was built to be used in a comfortable music studio environement. You can operate it under free skies of course. But please keep in mind, it uses electricity for proper operation and therefore is quite sensitive to water, drinks or other fluids.
You can use any ordinary 9 Volt DC powersupply to operate your controller. The connector should have Plus on it's center pin and Ground - sometime labeled as 'Minus' - on the outside. The Synth Programmer has a protection diode for not doing any harm if the polarity of the power supply is wrong, it just won't work. The current of the PSU should at least offer about 200 mA (=0.2 A).
Settings and workflow____________________________________________________________________________________6 2. Settings and workflow Settings on the Microwave MIDI Param - Midi Chan. - sould be set to the same midichannel as the Synth Programmer • Midi Param - Prog Change → 'on' • Midi Param - PC Maps → 'off' •...
This leads to the PATCH-Mode, the place to select patches on your Microwave. As soon as you select a program here, the Synth Programmer will cause the Microwave to call this program and send the parameter values to the Programmer for both to be in sync. More on this in Chapter 7. Patch Mode By holding PATCH for 2 seconds you enter the Programmers Randomizer.
The Microwave has got quite powerful modulation possibilities. The modulation slots are not organized in one place. The engineers have spread them all over the parameter pool, near the parameter they should modulate. The Stereoping Programmer wants to simplify the access to this modulation zoo. As mentioned above you enter this mode by pressing MOD.
Program's parameters without always having to save after each change on a program. Your Synth Programmer can only hold ONE Program in memory for displaying original values. But nothing holds it back from sending Parameter edits to each of the first 6 Multi-Instruments. This is exactly what you will allow on setting the PREFS Parameter MultInstSwap to ON: being in MULTI Mode each of the 6 pot columns (no matter if left or right) silently sets the target instrument where all the parameter tweaks in PLAY Mode will be sent to.
12. Updating Firmware The day may come you want to update your edition or try out another. Your Synth Programmer offers a firmware update mode for this. After entering this mode you just send a firmware-file into the controllers Midi IN 2 jack.
