    Overbridge Suite to perform these actions. 5. If you want to use MIDI to control the Analog Heat MKII, connect the MIDI OUT port of the device you wish to send data from to the MIDI IN port of the Analog Heat MKII. The MIDI THRU port duplicates the data arriving at the MIDI IN port, so you can use it for chaining MIDI units together.

  • Page 11: Setup Examples

    3.3 SETUP EXAMPLES The Analog Heat MKII is very well suited for use in both an analog setup and in a more digital environment. Here are a couple of examples of how you can use the Analog Heat MKII. For more information about how to set up Analog Heat MKII in different configurations, please see "6.5 AUDIO ROUTING"...

  • Page 12: Signal Flow

    5.1 PRESETS The Analog Heat MKII has 128 preset slots where you can store your presets. Preset slot 000 is an INIT preset with default values. Note that, when switching off the power on your Heat, any changes to the currently active preset will be lost unless the preset is first saved.

  • Page 13: Saving A Preset

    Footswitch to toggle the Active Mode. For more information, please see "6.4 CONTROL IN" on page 17. You also have the option to set if you want the Analog Heat MKII to start in active mode or not when you turn it on.

  • Page 14: Drive

    5. THE USER INTERFACE 5.6 DRIVE DRIVE sets the gain level in the effect circuit. A higher setting increases the effect of the selected circuit type, typically resulting in more distortion. For more information, please see "4. SIGNAL FLOW" on page 12. 5.7 WET LEVEL WET LEVEL sets the level of the signal coming from the effect.

    Read more about Overbridge use and availability on the Elektron website: https://www.elektron.se/overbridge/ 5.14 CLASS COMPLIANT DEVICE The Analog Heat MKII is a class compliant device (also known as plug-and-play). It means it does not re- quire any extra drivers to connect to your Windows or macOS computer, or your iOS device.

  • Page 16: The Settings Menu

    Sets the audio input level to fit the audio level sent to the effect via the IN L/R inputs. It is important to set this level correctly to get the best sound from your Analog Heat MKII. There are four different settings for the input sensitivity: LOW, MID, HIGH &...

  • Page 17: Internal Tempo

    Sets the internal tempo. The tempo range is 30 – 300 BPM. This tempo controls the speed of the LFO. The Analog Heat MKII can also be set to respond to MIDI clock sent from external devices. If the device is synced from either MIDI Clock or Overbridge, the Internal Tempo setting is locked from editing, and this parameter instead shows the sync source together with the currently active (external) tempo.

  • Page 18: Control In B

    6.5.1 ANALOG IN/OUT (IN OVERBRIDGE MODE) Sets if the signal from the analog inputs (INPUT L/R) is routed to the Analog Heat MKII's FX or not. It also sets if the signal from the effect is routed to analog outputs (OUTPUT L/R and HEADPHONES) or not.

  • Page 19: Analog In/Out (In Usb Audio/Midi Mode)

    • PRE Routes the audio from Analog In to the USB audio host and then back to the Analog Heat MKII's FX. • POST Routes the audio from the Analog Heat MKII's FX to the USB audio host and then to the Analog Out.

  • Page 20: Usb To Main

    6.5.4 USB TO MAIN Sets the gain level of the audio sent from the USB audio host to the Analog Heat MKII. This setting only affects the audio sent from the USB audio host to the analog OUTPUT L/R and HEADPHONES out- puts.

    In the SYSEX DUMP menu, settings and Presets can be sent and received. Select a menu option using the PRESET/DATA knob. Press [YES] to open the highlighted menu selection. When receiving or sending SysEx data, the MIDI ports or the USB port of the Analog Heat MKII should be connected to the external sending/receiving device.

  • Page 22: Sysex Send

    Press [YES] to access this column. Use the PRESET/DATA knob to select what will be received. Press [YES] to initiate the SysEx receive procedure. The Analog Heat MKII starts listening to incoming data. Press [NO] to stop listening.

    7. PARAMETER PAGES 7. PARAMETER PAGES Here follows a description of all the parameters that are on the PARAMETER pages. You access the param- eter pages by pressing the [PARAMETER] keys. AMP has one page. FILTER/EQ, ENV, and LFO has two pages.

  • Page 25: Filter & Eq

    Press [ENV] once to access this parameter page. Analog Heat MKII contains an envelope follower function. The envelope follower is used to detect the am- plitude variations of the incoming audio signal to produce a control signal (envelope) that resembles those variations.

    Press [YES] + [ENV] to trigger the envelope generator manually. You can also send a gate signal to the Analog Heat MKII Control In inputs to trigger the envelope generator. For more information, please see "6.4 CONTROL IN" on page 17.

  • Page 28: Depth1

    7. PARAMETER PAGES 7.5.4 DEPTH1 Sets the amount of how much the envelope follower affects the modulation destination. A negative value gives an inverted modulation. (-128.00–+127.00) 7.6 LFO PAGE 1 Press [LFO] once to access this parameter page. 7.6.1 SPEED Sets the rate of the LFO in relation to the internal or external tempo.

  • Page 29: Fade

    7. PARAMETER PAGES 2. The second destination is set in the MODULATION parameter page (see above). Select LFO 2ND as a source and then select modulation destination and modulation depth. 3. The third modulation destination is permanently set to the filter cutoff. The amount of LFO modulation added to the filter cutoff is controlled by the parameter LFO on the FILTER/EQ PAGE 1 parameter page.

  • Page 30: Tips & Tricks

    8. TIPS & TRICKS 8. TIPS & TRICKS Here you can find a couple of different examples of some of the things you can do with the Analog Heat MKII. 8.1 ADDING SATURATION TO THE HIGH REGISTER You can use the Analog Heat MKII to add saturation to the high-frequency register of a full range mix. This is useful when you want to introduce some subtle harmonics to the mix, without distorting the overall sound.

  • Page 31: Stereo Phaser Effect

    Note that DEPTH1 on ENVELOPE PAGE 2 need to be lowered to make room for the LFO modulation. 8.3 STEREO PHASER EFFECT The Analog Heat MKII can also achieve an effect similar to that of a classic stereo phaser pedal by using the filter frequency panning function.
