amnt
(amount): amount of groove to apply.
ltch
(latch): clock latch release time. This parameter controls the number of beats during which the internal
clock continues running after you have released all keys. This allows the internal arpeggiator or sequencer to
"keep counting" for a while after you have released all keys from the keyboard. When this setting is set to 0
and the arpeggiator is on, every time you release the keys to play a new chord, the internal clock stops and
the arpeggiator/sequencer is restarted. You might like this effect (many vintage synths work this way), but it
might sound a bit strange to have the "flow" of the sequence broken at each chord change. When the clock
latch is set to 1 beat, the "flow" of the clock and arpeggiator are preserved as long as your chord changes are
spaced by less than 1 beat.
This page allows 8 parameters from different pages and for different parts to be displayed together on the
same page. Observe that when a parameter is edited, the part number part is shown on screen:
A particular quirk of this page is the specific function assigned to the encoder. Press it to simultaneously
send a
C4
note to all parts. Press it again to send a note off message to all parts. This allows Ambika to
be used without a MIDI keyboard. While a note is being played through this mean, you can turn the
encoder to transpose all parts up and down.
To select the parameters/parts shown on the performance page, press
S7
again to bring the customization
page:
Use the first knob to select the index of the knob you want to customize. Use the second knob to select a
part number. Use the third and fourth knobs, or the encoder, to scroll through the list of parameters.
Everything related to loading/saving patches, multi, etc. is done on this page. The data is stored on a SD
card (SDHC cards are supported) formatted in FAT16 or FAT32 format, inserted at the back of Ambika. In
case the SD card is incorrectly formatted, incorrectly inserted, or damaged, the following text will be
displayed every time you try to display the library page:
Press
S8
to continue and try blowing on the SD card connectors.
If the card is correctly inserted and formatted, the main library page will be displayed:
The first row displays the following information:
pt 1 program
is the current "object", that is to say the kind of thing you want to load/save from/to the memory
card. In this case, you will be browsing the list of programs and they will be loaded into part 1.
