If a knob was set up to modulate the output effects Mix and Pan, the Quick Edit function would not be switched off. This has now been fixed. Clear Controller Track were using the track number selected by the Note Tracks. Now it is using the Controller Track number.

MkI VCF connector installed, and you would like to use it with the new dual line filter, it can be upgraded at Gotharman’s for the price difference. The Dual SSI2140 filterboard has 2 analog multimode filters. Each of these filters can be assigned to their own Audio Bus, doubling the Tiny LD analog filter power! Each of the filters has 4 filter blocks.
Page 5
After installing the SSI2140 filterboard in your Tiny LD, you must go to MOR>VCF TYPES, to set it Select VCF number 60-Dual SSI2140. After you have selected this, turn your Tiny LD off and then on again, to make it set up things right.
Page 6
On the Synth VCF pages, you will now find the Dual SSI2140 parameters. On the top of the VCF pages, you will find 2 touch buttons, named “1” and “2”. Touch these to switch between the settings for VCF1 and VCF2. Since the settings for VCF1 and VCF2 are the same, only the settings for VCF1 will be explained here.

Touch the RAY touch button, to enter this page. G-Ray: Adjusts the amount of g-RAY intermodulation. 0: no g-RAY, 3: max g-RAY. Range: 0 to 3. Mode: G-Ray mode. -Norm: Normal 1:1 feedback. -Neg: 1:1 feedback with the signal inverted (a 180 degree phase shift) -Ultr: Boosted feedback.

Touch the MO1 touch button, to enter this page. The VU-meter at the right of the screen, shows the filter output activity. For each parameter, that can be modulated, it is possible to select a modulation source, and to adjust the modulation amount. Only the positive modulation sources, can be selected by the Edit Knobs.

Touch the MO2 touch button, to enter this page. The VU-meter at the right of the screen, shows the filter output activity. For each parameter, that can be modulated, it is possible to select a modulation source, and to adjust the modulation amount. Only the positive modulation sources, can be selected by the Edit Knobs.

Touch the Mix touch button, to enter this page. The VU-meter at the right of the screen, shows the filter output activity. Bus: 1 to 8. The audio Bus, that the filter will be placed on. Inp: 0 to 511. The audio input level for the filters. Outp: -128 to +383.

Lowr Button As Freeze Button Since it is now possible to select the upper and lower parameter rows, simply by touching the screen, the Lowr button might no longer be super useful. So now it is possible to use it as an effect freeze button instead.
Page 12
Parametric EQ insert effect A parametric EQ with different characteristics has been added to the insert effects. The parameters: Mix: The output of the EQ is inverted. This means, that when the Mix parameter is set to 256, the EQ is actually subbed from the audio input. Set the Mix parameter to different values, to obtain different EQ effects, or just turn it fully up to 511, to get a normal parametric EQ.
Page 13
C/B: Cut/Boost. Setting this to a negative value, will damp frequencies on the input signal. Setting it to a positive value, will boost frequencies on the input signal.
Page 14
EQ Modulation Freq1/Freq2: Will modulate the EQ frequency. Q: Will modulate the EQ frequency width. C/B: Will modulate the cut/boost parameter.

Sequencer Steps Offset Adjust It is now possible to adjust the offset of all steps in a sequencer sub track, from step 1 to the selected last step, by turning one knob. To do this, touch the knob select bars in the bottom of any steps page, to select step editing with knobs.
Page 16
Position Rotation Modulation Position Track Rotation has now been added as a modulation destination on the sequencer note tracks. This will do exactly the same, as when adjusting the offset of all steps of the position track, but it is done by a modulation source.
Page 17
Output An Audio BUS to another Audio BUS Many LD3 users has let me know, that they often needs to connect the output of an audio bus, to another audio bus, in order to place effects before/after the audio bus follower VCA. This could be done by adding a jack cable from an audio output to an input.
Page 18
BUS Follower/Envelope OFF position If you would like to just use the Audio Bus Follower as a modulation source, without it affecting the output level of the Bus itself, this is now possible, by setting the Env to OFF, on the BUS ENV page.
Page 19
Insert Effects Input Gain On the Insert Effects Mo2 page, it is now possible to adjust the Insert Effect input gain, using the new Gain parameter:...
Page 20
Audio Track BPM When recording an audio track, the BPM of this is now included in the sample name – A058_05_120_AUDTR -Preset number_Track Number_BPM.
Page 21
Audio Inputs Swap If you, for some reason, would like to swap the audio inputs, this is now possible. Input 1 and 2 can be swapped, using the “i1<>2” parameter on the MOR>COMMON2 page:...
Page 22
Quick Edit Knob Off If you don’t need the default functionality of Edit Knob 4 (digital filter 1 cut), it is now possible to switch this off, by using the “Qedit” parameter, on the MOR>COMMON2 page:...
Page 23
Bus Sub Pages Naming Some page names on the BUS pages has been changed, to make it look less cryptic (I think).
Page 26
Chop Mode parameter Tiny LD has different modes, for automatically generate non-destructive chop points on a sampling. It can create chop points by peaks, wave cycles or by dividing the sampling into a fixed number of equally sized chops. The parameter on the Sample Chops page, that was named Wave in previous OS versions, was renamed to Mode in V 8.15, but somehow this change didn’t make it to the user manual.

How to set up (stereo) samplings In this chapter it will be explained, how to set up a sampling for a part, and some extra steps, that is required for setting the filters and VCA/BUS in stereo mode, when setting up a stereo sampling. From the Preset Select page, touch “EDIT”...
Page 28
From the Synth main page, touch the box named “OSC”, to enter the oscillator pages.
Page 29
Touch the “SEL” touch button, to enter the oscillator mode selection page.
Page 30
Set the “Mode” parameter to “Smp”. Now touch the “SMP” touch button, to enter the sample selection page.
Page 31
Here you can select up to 4 samplings for the part. The number of these samplings, that are used, is set by the #Smp parameter on the SEL page. The 4 samples can be selected to play back, setting the Chop parameter, and by chop select modulation. For now, just touch the sample name, that starts with “1:”, to open the sample select page for the first sampling.
Page 32
On each page you will view 16 of the samplings, that are held in the Tiny LD FLASH memory. Touch PREV and NEXT to view the previous or next 16 samplings. To select a sampling, touch the sample name. A small red square is shown near the sample name of the sampling, that are the last one, that was added to the bank.
Page 33
Extra steps required, for setting up a stereo sampling The extra steps required for setting up a stereo sampling are: -Set up the VCA to output to 2 audio busses. -Set up these audio busses to output to left and right. -Set the filters in stereo mode.
Page 34
Set the “Bus” parameter, so that the VCA will output to 2 busses – “1+2”, “3+4”, “5+6” or “7+8”. Now touch the “MOD” touch button.
Page 35
Make sure that “Pan” is set to “Man”, and pan “Amt” to “256”. Exit the VCA pages, to go back to the Synth main page.
Page 36
Touch the box named “BUS”, to enter the audio bus pages.
Page 37
On this first Bus page, set the audio busses, that the VCA is outputting to, to respectively L and R, like Bus 5 and 6 on the picture. Exit from this page, to the Synth main page.
Page 38
Touch the box named “FLT”, to enter the digital filter pages.
Page 40
On this page, set the “Stereo” parameter to “On”. It does not matter, if the digital filters are used or not, this routing has to be set to stereo, in order to get both audio channels of a stereo sampling through. Now when you trigger the selected stereo sampling, it should play back in stereo!
