With all filters active (cnps) Ambika only responds to basic MIDI messages.
outp (outp
mode): MIDI output mode. The following output modes are available:
forwards all incoming messages, and only those),
the arpeggiator and sequencer),
operations performed on Ambika),
reproducing all editing operations).
help: Whether the long name of the edited parameter should be displayed. Once you are familiar with
Ambika, you might find it more convenient to have the help text never shown.
snap: Enables potentiometers' "snap" mode. This mode makes it less likely to accidentally change a
parameter value when switching pages. Suppose you are tweaking the filter resonance with
all the way down to 0. Then you switch to the oscillators page to adjust the oscillator 1 parameter. If the
current value of the parameter is set to 64, you'll hear a discontinuity, since the value of the parameter will
instantly jump to 0 or 1 when you start touching the pot. When
rotating the pot will have no effect until the position of the pot actually reflects the current value of the
parameter. After that, the parameter value will track the potentiometer's position. Another way to explain it:
when
snap
is
on
you have to move the pot to "grab" the current parameter value before the parameter is
modified.
leds: Disables the voicecard LEDs, in case you consider that synths should not be used as Diwali
decorations. Note that you need to reboot the unit for this setting to take effect!
auto (auto
backup): Enables or disables the backup copy created on the memory card whenever an item is
overwritten. Disabling it will make saving faster.
It is also possible to save the current multi so that it is reloaded every time Ambika starts up. This is very
useful for saving your MIDI settings and favorite split/voice allocation parameters!
