Summary of Contents for Gotharman Gotharman’s Little deFormer

  • Page 1 Gotharman’s Little deFormer Update 446...

  • Page 2: Very Important

    New Functionality: VERY IMPORTANT: You must make sure, that your Little deFormer is updated with version 385, before performing this update. How to check: In the ”SAMPLER” section, find the parameter named ”Type” (FilterType). Check if it is possible to select Type ”shp”. If it is, your Little deFormer are correctly updated, and you can go on with this new update.
  • Page 3 -Sequencer tracks can now have different lengths. The ”Last” parameter adjusts the overall length of all sequencer tracks. Each track now has an ”Rst” (Reset) parameter added, for selecting a step where the track should reset. If ”Rst” for a track has a lower value than the overall ”Last”, the track will reset when it reaches that step.
  • Page 4 -Delete all sampling function added. If you are tired of all your samplings or Gotharman’s preset samplings, that he btw used very long time to make just for you, you might use this function, to start all over. But please think again before you use this.
  • Page 5 The Oscillators Now it is possible to select an oscillator for each step button, instead of a sampling. These can morph between sine, triangle, sawtooth, square and noise waveforms. Pulse Width are adjustable on all waveforms. To select an oscillator for a step button: -Push the step button you would like to assign an oscillator to.
  • Page 6 Pw: 0 to 255. Adjusts the pulse width of the waveform. Unlike on much other gear, this works on all waveforms in the Little deFormer. Trig: Off, 1 to 255. When this parameter is set to any other value than ”Off”, it will trigger another sampling/oscillator, selected by the ”Smpl”...
  • Page 7 The 10 LFO’s Little deFormer now has 10 LFO’s. These can morph between triangle, sawtooth, square, pulse and unlinear waveforms. They can be key-trigged or free running, looped or one-shot. The LFO’s appears as sources in the ”MODULATION” section as ”LF1 to 9+/-” and ”L10+/-”, and can modulate almost any parameter. The LFO’s also appears as destination in the ”MODULATION”...
  • Page 8 16 sample trigged Random generators Each time a sampling or and oscillator is trigged, it causes the random generator connected to it, to change to a new random value. All 16 random generators appears as sources in the ”MODULATION” section as ”Rn1 to 9+/-” and ”R10 to 16+/-”, and can modulate almost any parameter.
  • Page 9 Sample Envelope Pitch Modulation The sample Envelope can now modulate the the pitch of a sampling/oscillator. A new parameter for this is added in the ”SAMPLER” section: pEnv: -127 to +128. Adjusts how much the sample/oscillator VCA envelope should affect the pitch.
  • Page 10 Velocity added in Modulation The velocity values received for each of the 16 samplings/oscillators, either from MIDI in or from the Note Randomizer, does now appear as sources in the ”MODULATION” section as ”Vl1 to 9+/-” and ”V10 to 16+/-”, and can modulate almost any parameter.
  • Page 11 More MIDI controllers MIDI CC 12 to 17 does now appear as sources in the ”MODULATION” section as ”C12 to 17+/-”, and can modulate almost any parameter.
  • Page 12 FilterBank Modulation It is now possible to modulate the filter parameters, when FilterBank is on. The filter parameters of sample/oscillator 1 to 4 (Sm1 to 4) in the ”MODULATION” destination section is used for this. Modulating the filter parameters of sample/oscillator 5 to 16, will have no effect, when FilterBank is ”On”.
  • Page 13 Sequencer tracks can now have different lengths The ”Last” parameter adjusts the overall length of all sequencer track. Each track now has an ”Rst” (Reset) parameter added, for selecting a step where the track should reset. If ”Rst” for a track has a lower value than the overall ”Last”, the track will reset when it reaches that step.
  • Page 14 Sequencer controller tracks time signature The 4 controller tracks now have their own time signature setting, which is completely independent from the note tracks time signature setting. Parameters added to the ”SEQUENCER” section: ScC1 to 4: 1/32, 1/24, 1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1. Selects the time signature (scaling) for each controller track.
  • Page 15 Pattern Link mode It is now possible to link two patterns/presets together for continious playback. It is possible to adjust how many times it should play back each pattern, and all edits you make in both patterns will be kept. It is not possible to select which preset it should to link to.

  • Page 16: Song Mode

    Song mode It is now possible to chain patterns/presets together for automatic playback in up to 120 steps. For each step you can select the preset number, and how many times the preset should play back, until it goes on to the next step. Little deFormer holds 512 songs.
  • Page 17 Song Edit Pages: ARRANGE: Step . Bank . Ptrn . X . Step: 1 to 120. Selects the song step number, you would like to edit. Song playback always starts at step 1, then it plays step 2, then step 3 and so on…. Use either the inc and dec buttons, or edit knob 1 to select a step.
  • Page 18 Naming and saving a song Select this edit group page, using the ”Inc” button: SAVE SONG Push the ”Edit” button, to go to this page: [My Song 1 SAVE TO: A02 Here it is possible to select the memory location, in which you would like to save your song.
  • Page 19 Sequencer tracks can now be selected via the step buttons When exit’ing the sequencer edit pages, and trigger a sampling/oscillator, this will now also select the sequencer track to be edited, when you return to the sequencer pages again. You can, of course, also still use edit knob one to select a track.
  • Page 20 Sequencer pattern clear, copy and randomize When on any sequencer edit screen, where you can edit the sequencer parameters, push the ”Edit” button to enter the sequencer functions. Use the ”Dec” and ”Inc” buttons to select a function, and push the ”Edit” button to execute a function. The sequencer functions are: Clear: This function will erase all 32 note tracks, and leave you with an empty sequence, to start over.
  • Page 21 Time/Pitch effect copy and randomize When on any Time & Pitch effect edit screen, where you can edit the effect parameters, push the ”Edit” button to enter the effect functions. Use the ”Dec” and ”Inc” buttons to select a function, and push the ”Edit” button to execute a function. The Time &...
  • Page 22 Sample record auto-trigger An ”Auto” parameter has been added to the sample record screen, under the ”SAMPLER” section. When the audio signal to be sampled reaches the level adjusted by this parameter, sample recording starts automaticly. When auditioning pre recording, the sample VU-meter (the stepLED’s) will not react at all, when the input signal is below the Auto level.
  • Page 23 Parameter ”snap” mode Added as ”Snap” in the ”COMMON” section, when this is on and you tweak a parameter, the parameter values on the edit pages will not change, until you reach the position, where it initially was.
  • Page 24 Transmit and receive presets via MIDI If you would like to share some of your presets with other deFormer users, or your second deFormer, or if you would like to back up your presets, or try some of the new presets on the GotharMusic site, that is now possible.
  • Page 25 SamplePitc effect improved a bit It is now working better/granulating more, when tuning up.
  • Page 26 Sample trigger point can now be modulated It is added as a destination in the ”MODULATION” destination section, under ”sm1 to sm16”.
  • Page 27 AnaX: It is now possible to output LFO3 to 10 and Random Generator 1 to 16 via the CV outputs Using the ”Cv01 and 2” parameters in the ”ANALOG EXPANSION” section.
  • Page 28 AnaX: Sequencer reset can now be selected as a trigger input or output Using the ”Trigger 1 to 8” parameters in the ”ANALOG EXPANSION” section.
  • Page 29 Delete all samplings function added As the last parameter in the ”FLASH” section.
