Page 9: Introduction
Introduction Thank you very much for purchasing/consider to purchase a Gotharman’s Tiny LD. Tiny LD are a multi-timbral and polyphonic granular workstation with 16 parts. The granular functions in it includes oscillator/sampler granular modulators and special granular effects. Each of the 16 parts has a stereo oscillator/sampler, 2 filters with 16 different filter types, a stereo VCA, 3 envelopes, 4 random generators and 2 granular modulators, a random one and a sequenced one.
Page 10 All the parameter settings can be stored in any of 1024 rewritable preset locations, and recalled at any time. 1024 song locations are available, for programmed playback of presets, and for tracks mute automation. I hope that you will enjoy your Tiny LD for a long time, and deform a lot of great tracks.

Page 22 Turn it on Push the “I” on the power switch. Your Tiny LD should now turn on.
Page 23: User Interface
Pushing the Trigger 1-8 buttons, with Func/Mute and 9-16/Part unlit, will trigger the respective Tiny LD part. Each trigger button will send a settable note number (Settable in the Synth “Trig”” section). When a trigger is trigged, the button will light up.
Page 24 With the Func/Mute button lighting up, the functions written just below the steps/parts numbers of the 8 trigger buttons, will ba active. When the Func/Mute button is held down, it is possible to mute/unmute the 16 note tracks, by pushing any of the 8 step buttons. If the 9-16/Part button is lighting up, part 9 to 16 will be muted/unmuted.
Page 25 The Touch Screen Keyboard The Tiny LD display is touch sensitive. The touch interface is used for navigating through the edit and settings pages, and in the bottom of most pages, a fully playable touch keyboard is present. On the Preset and Song Select pages, it is, besides from playing notes on the touch keyboard, also possible to apply modulation to the sound, by placing your finger on different positions between the top and the bottom of the keyboard.
Page 26: Preset Select Screen
This is the first screen you will see, right after Tiny LD ’s start-up screen, unless you left your Tiny LD in Song mode, the last time it was turned off. Here you can change preset, jump to Tiny LD ’s edit and settings pages, and adjust the touch keyboard settings, as described on the previous pages.
Page 27 Touch “PREV” or “NEXT” to view the previous or next 5 presets, and finally touch the preset name of the preset you would like to select. 1024 presets can be selected, from A01 to P64. Tiny LD will now jump back to the main Preset Select screen, and show the name of the newly selected preset.
Page 28 When Tiny LD is turned off, it will remember which preset was selected, and start up with this, when turned on again. It will also remember if it was in preset or song mode, and start up in the same mode, and if it was in song mode, it will also remember which song was selected.
Page 29 If any parameters of the preset has been edited, and the edits has not been stored, a “*” will appear right between the preset number and the preset name. When this appears, you will need to save your preset, in order to keep your edits. Please see how to do this in the “Save Preset”...
Page 30: Operating Tiny Ld
Operating Tiny LD Trigger the synth/sampler parts manually To trigger synth/sampler parts 1 to 8 manually, make sure that neither the Func/Mute button or the 9-16/Part button is lighting up, and then push any of the 8 trigger buttons, to trigger the sounds that are programmed on each of these parts.
Page 31: Starting/Stopping Sequencer
Starting and stopping the Sequencer: To start the sequencer playback, push and release the Func/Mute button, so that it lights up. Then push and release the 1/Play button, so that this lights up too. Now the sequencer is playing back. To stop the sequencer from playing back, make sure that the Func/Mute button is lighting up, and push the 1/Play button, so that this is no longer lighting up.
Page 32: Selecting A Part/Track
Selecting a part/track: To select a synth/sampler part or a sequencer track for viewing/editing, push and hold the 9- 16/Part button. The selected part number will now be shown, by one of the 8 trigger buttons lightning up, if any of the parts 1 to 8, is already selected.
Page 33: Note Tracks Steps View/Edit
But more on that later in this manual… Only 8 steps are shown at a time. The note tracks of Tiny LD has 64 steps. On the Sequencer pages, described later in this manual, it is possible to switch which bar should be shown.
Page 34: Mute/Unmute Note Tracks
Mute/Unmute Note Tracks: To mute, unmute or view the mute state of the 16 note tracks, push and hold the Func/Mute button. If the 9-16/Part button is not lighting up, the state of part 1 to 8 is shown, if it is lighting up, that state of part 9 to 16 is shown.
Page 35: Copy Morph Layer A To B
5 (Copy), so that this also lights up. Instructions for copy and panic will now be shown on the screen. Push and release step button 8 (Exit). Now all notes, both internally and on any MIDI devices connected to the Tiny LD MIDI out, will be shutted off.
Page 36: Compare Preset
Compare Edited Preset With Saved Preset When you are editing a preset, and you would like to compare this with the originally saved preset, this is possible, using the Compare function. To listen to the previously saved preset: -Push and release the Func/Mute button, so that it lights up. -Push and release step button 5 (Copy).
Page 37: Exit From Any Page
Exit from any page You can, at any time, exit from any menu page, using the hardware Exit button. Simply push and release the Func/Mute button, so that it lights up, to enter the function buttons. Now push and release step button 8 (Exit). Exit and Esc (escape) touch buttons are also present on all menu pages, but sometimes a hardware button is just better.
Page 38: Upper And Lower Parameter Rows
On most edit pages, there are 2 rows of parameters, an upper and a lower. Each row has 4 parameters. Since Tiny LD, unlike LD3, only has 4 edit knob, to edit these parameters, a function that selects the upper and lower row is necessary.
Page 39: Preset Reload/Song Step Advance
Preset Reload / Advance Song realtime record step Push and release the Func/Mute button, so that it lights up, to enter the function buttons. Now push and hold step button 3 (Morph), while pressing step button 1 (Play), to reload the currently selected preset.
Page 40: Audio Bus System
Audio Bus System Each of the 16 parts in Tiny LD, consists of a sound generator, that can be selected to be either a multi waveform oscillator, a sampler or a noise generator. The audio signal from the sound generator goes into 2 digital multimode filters. The output signal from the filters goes into a VCA.
Page 42 The Synth/Sampler Parts Tiny LD has 16 parts, that is playing back through 8 stereo voices, using dynamic allocation. Each part must be set up to output to one or two of the 8 audio busses (see the “Audio Bus System”...

Page 50 Accessing The Synth Part Pages From the Preset/Song Select screen, Touch the “EDIT” field.
Page 51 Now Tiny LD will show the main Synth page: In the top of the main Synth page, you will find the 6 main edit groups and the ESC (escape) touch button. Touch any of these group buttons to access them, and touch ESC, to exit to the Preset Select page.
Page 52 The 4 upper and lower parameters are selected, using the Lowr function, or by touching the corresponding parameter row, as explained under the “Operating Tiny LD” section, earlier in this manual. A green dot in the left side will indicate, which parameter row is selected for editing.
Page 53 The Synth Part Parameters Randomizer If you should ever need some new inspiration for sounds, or if you just want to surprise yourself with some sounds that you never even imagined, the Tiny LD parameter randomizer might be exactly what you need.
Page 54 You should now enter this page: Select the part that you would like to randomize, in the same way as you would usually select a part, by pushing and holding the Steps/Part button, while pressing one of the 8 step buttons. Switch the blocks on, that you would like to randomize, simply by touching these, adjust the percentage, that it must maximum change the parameters, using Edit Knob 1, and hit “DO!”.
Page 55 Synth Part Trigger Setup In this block, you can set up the poly mode of each part, the pitch bend range, the note that will play pack, when pushing a trigger button, and if the part should be an internal or an external part. From the synth parts main page, touch TRIG to enter this page.
Page 56 MIDI device, and from the part sequencer note track, controls any MIDI device, that is connected to the Tiny LD MIDI output, and that is set to the same MIDI channel, as set by the Chan parameter on this page.
Page 57 In this block, it is possible to set up a key zone and a MIDI channel for the part, that will take effect, when Tiny LD is set in multi-timbral mode, and is controlled from an external MIDI device. How to set Tiny LD in multi-timbral mode are explained later in this manual, in the MOR>Common section.
Page 58 Touch Tu1 to enter the first Microtunings page: Here it is possible to microtune each note in an octave by up to +/- 50 percent. This is possible separately for each of the 16 parts, but it is only possible for the Type2 and Resonator oscillators. The Type1 oscillators, the samplers and the noise generators are not affected by these settings.
Page 59 To set the tunings for the keys G# to B, touch Tu2, to go to the next tuning page:...
Page 60 Audio BUS Setup In this block, you will find the settings for the 8 audio busses. Please note that these settings are not part specific, but global for the 8 busses and 16 parts. From the synth parts main page, touch TRIG to enter this page. Touch the Out touch button, to enter this first page, where you can select the output, which the audio signal from each of the 8 busses, should be sent to.
Page 61 Touch the Rel touch button, to enter this second audio Bus page, where it is possible to adjust the release time of the envelope follower, that are attached to each audio Bus, and that affects the output levels of these. When this is set to 511, the follower will never decay.
Page 62 Touch the Gan touch button, to enter this third audio Bus page, where it is possible to gain or attenuate the level of the audio signal sent to the Bus envelope follower. At +0, there are no gaining or attenuation. At positive values the signal to the follower is gained, at negative values, they are attenuated.
Page 63 Touch the Lvl touch button, to enter this fourth audio Bus page, where it is possible to adjust the total output level of each Bus. Positive values will gain the output signal, negative values will attenuate.
Page 64 Touch the Env touch button, to enter this fifth and last audio Bus page, where it is possible to assign any of the 16 part VCA envelopes or the BUS Envelope Follower to control the Bus output level. Here it is also possible to gain the Envelope Follower by x2 and x4. As default, the un-gained Envelope Follower are assigned to control the BUS output level.
Page 65 A Tiny LD oscillator can be set to act as an oscillator, a sample player, a chopped keyboard sample player, or a noise generator.
Page 66 In off and on (unchopped) modes, the whole sampling will play back, ignoring any chop points. It is possible to create chop points in the Tiny LD sample editor, and use these. Chops can be detected by level peaks, by single wavecycles, and by dividing the sample length with a settable number.
Page 67 In trial mode it is possible to import the preset set made for the Percussion Synthesizer, but you must import all presets from a folder, in order to get them stored in the LD3/Tiny LD preset memory. If you import them one preset at a time, it is not possible to save these presets.
Page 68 The 6 Percussion Oscillator types: Perc: Percussion oscillator 1. This outputs 2 percussion waves, that can be detuned from each other, and noise FM can be applied. Atk will morph between the attack and the body of the percussion sound. To imitate the strike of the drum, modulate Atk with an envelope. Noise PW can also be set, to adjust the intensity of the FM noise.
Page 69 Sound ideas / Start points You can, of course, use the percussion synthesizer presets as starting points, and copy/paste sounds from these to a new preset. But if you would like to start from scratch, or you just want to get an idea of, how specific sounds can be generated, here are some ideas.
Page 70 Select the Prc3 oscillator type. Set Dtun, Atk and Noiz all to zero. Set pitch modulation to Env1, to 42, and set Atk modulation to Env1, to 305. If you are triggering the sound from the trigger buttons, set Tune to -8. Set Env1 A to 0, D to 52, S to 0 and R to 118. Set the VCA Env A to 0, D to 84, S to 408 and R to 66.
Page 71 Analog style open Hi hat Copy and paste the analog style closed hi hat to another part. Set the VCA Env A to 0, D to 22, S to 415 and R to 208. Now you got an open version of the closed hi hat! Cymbal Select the Cymb oscillator type.
Page 72 Bell sound Select the Perc oscillator type. Set Dtun to 169, Atk to 120 and Noiz to 0. If you are triggering the sound from the trigger buttons, set Tune to +0. Set Atk modulation to Env1, and set this to 254. Set VCA Env A to 0, D to 22, S to 511, R to 191.
Page 73 PW: Adjusts the pulse width of the waveform. Unlike many other oscillator designs, the pulse width can be adjusted on all of Tiny LD’s waveforms, not just the pulse wave. FM: FM amount. The more this is turned up, the more a selected audio bus (in the SEL section) will...

Page 114 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!
Page 115 The Granular Modulators Each of the 16 synth parts of Tiny LD has 2 granular modulators, the granular random generator and the granular sequence modulator, that shows as modulation sources, to any parameter that can be modulated. GrRn – Granular Random Generator This works in conjunction with the part oscillator, sampler or noise generator.
Page 116 When in sampler mode: Every time the sampler loops, the granular sequence modulator gets the next value from the associated controller track. If you have a wave chopped sampling, and set this parameter up to modulate the chop select parameter, it is possible to program wave sequences. Of course, this can also modulate any other parameter, for infinite possibilities.
Page 117 4 Random Generators Each synth part of Tiny LD has 4 random generators, that takes in a new random value, every time the part is trigged. There are no settings to be made for these. They are found as modulation sources, named: Rnd1,...
Page 118 The Digital Filters Each Tiny LD part has 2 digital filters. For each of these, 20 different filter types can be selected. They have various lowpass, highpass and bandpass modes, with different characteristics, but also special modes like Lo-Fi, destruktion and Fat. They can be connected in serial or parallel to each other, work as one stereo filter, and their parameters can be linked to each other, for easier tweaking in stereo mode.
Page 119 List of Digital Filter Types: LPF1: Lowpass filter with a rather weak character. Resonance does not self-oscillate. LPF2: Lowpass filter that are a bit sharper than LPF1. Resonance does not self-oscillate. LPF3: Sharp Lowpass filter with self-oscillating resonance. LPF4: Very sharp Lowpass filter with self-oscillating resonance. BPF1: Bandpass filter with a rather weak character.

Page 309 Starting and stopping the Sequencer: To start the sequencer playback, push and release the Func/Mute button, so that it lights up. Then push and release the 1/Play button, so that this lights up too. Now the sequencer is playing back. To stop the sequencer from playing back, make sure that the Func/Mute button is lighting up, and push the 1/Play button, so that this is no longer lighting up.
Page 310 Selecting a track: Push and hold the 9-16/Part button. Tracks 1 to 8 can be selected with the 9-16 button unlit, tracks 9 to 16 can be selected with the 9- 16 button lighting up. The selected track number will now be shown, by one of the 8 step buttons lightning up. The number above the step button, is the track number that is currently selected.
Page 311 But more on that later in this manual… Only 8 steps are shown at a time. The note tracks of Tiny LD has 64 steps. On the Sequencer pages, described later in this manual, it is possible to switch which bar should be shown.
Page 312 Mute/Unmute Note Tracks: To mute, unmute or view the mute state of the 16 note tracks, push and hold the Func/Mute button. If the 9-16/Part button is not lighting up, the state of part 1 to 8 is shown, if it is lighting up, that state of part 9 to 16 is shown.

See the “Audio Tracks” section later in this manual. Metro: Metronome Off, On, Rec. -Off: The metronome is off, and will make no sound.
Page 318 Clear Seq: Touching this button, will make Tiny LD jump to this page: If you touch the “Yes” button here, you will clear all tracks of the current preset, and reset all values. If you do not wish to do that, touch “No”.
Page 319 Tiny LD, any modulation source can be used for swing, so there are quite a lot of possibilities to deform a sequence with this.
Page 320 Note Tracks Note Subtrack From the sequencer access page, touch NOTE TRACK 1-16, to enter the note steps edit page. This will be the first page, you will enter, if the Notes parameter on the Seq Main page is set to Grid.
Page 321 Edit Knob 2: Selects the bar to be viewed. 4 bars can be viewed, each showing 16 steps, for a total of 64 steps. The bar number is shown just above the note grid (marked Bar), and the first and the last step number viewed, is shown just above the note grid, to the right and the left.
Page 322 The note grid view are a bit limited, since you can only view one octave at a time. It is also possible to view the whole octave range at one time, by switching to the value bar view mode. Simply touch the NtG square in the upper left corner of the screen, or go to the sequencer main page, and change the Notes parameter to Value.
Page 323 Adjusting the offset of all steps This can be done on any subtrack, except for the sub position track. When you have selected a group of step, to be edited using the Edit Knobs, touch the active knob select bar one more time, and it will switch to “All”.
Page 324 You can now, by turning Edit Knob 1, adjust the offset of all steps at the same time. Middle position of Edit Knob 1 is zero, above middle will turn the offset up, below middle will turn the offset down. SPECIAL NOTE FOR THE POSITION SUB TRACK: When adjusting the offset of the step positions on the position sub track, the positions will “roll over”...
Page 325 Gate Time Subtrack Touch GAT in the top navigation bar, to enter the gate time steps page. The gate time values for each step is shown as bars in the value grid, and as number right below the value grid. If a black underscore is shown below the number, it means that it is above 100. Gate time values for each step can be changed, simply by touching the value grid.
Page 326 The Last step can be set globally for all tracks at the Seq Main page. Edit Knob 4: Sets the track resolution. Values: 1/64, 1/48, 1/32, 1/24, 1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/6, ¼, ½. Value is shown as Res. Touching “ESC” will exit you to the Sequencer access page.
Page 327 Velocity Subtrack Touch VEL in the top navigation bar, to enter the velocity steps page. The velocity values for each step is shown as bars in the value grid, and as number right below the value grid. If a black underscore is shown below the number, it means that it is above 100. Velocity values for each step can be changed, simply by touching the value grid.
Page 328 The Last step can be set globally for all tracks at the Seq Main page. Edit Knob 4: Sets the track resolution. Values: 1/64, 1/48, 1/32, 1/24, 1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/6, ¼, ½. Value is shown as Res. Touching “ESC” will exit you to the Sequencer Modules page.
Page 329 1, step 2 is played back at position 2 and so on. But the note sequencer in Tiny LD can go further than that. Step 2 can be set to play back at position 31, if desired, just to deform a track, or experiment with it, or more steps can be set to play back at the same position, for polyphonic sequencing.
Page 330 When neither KNOBS1-8 or KNOBS9-16 are black: Edit Knob 1: Has no function. Edit Knob 2: Selects the bar to be viewed. 4 bars can be viewed, showing each 16 steps, for a total of 64 steps. The bar number is shown just above the values field (marked Bar), and the first and the last step number viewed, is shown just above the values field, to the right and the left.
Page 331 Sub Position Subtrack When on the Position subtrack page, touch POS in the top navigation bar an extra time, to enter the sub position subtrack: Here a value between 0 and 3 can be added to the step position for “micro-timing”. The sub position for each step is shown as bars in the value grid, and as number right below the value grid.
Page 332 Edit Knob 3: Sets the last step that will be played back on this track, before it loops back, and plays the track again. Range: 1 to 64 steps. Value is shown as Lst. The Last step can be set globally for all tracks at the Seq Main page. Edit Knob 4: Sets the track resolution.
Page 333 Templates and Note Scales Templates are available to make it easier to create ramps on a track, and to randomize things. For the position track templates are available for forwards, backwards, alternating, randomized and polyphonic playback setup. On this page note scales are also available, for users that thinks that harmonic tones works, and for swapping around keys for experimentation.
Page 334 Available templates: -RampUp: Ramp Up. Will lower values on steps, that are placed before last step divided by 2, and raise values on steps, placed after last step divided by 2. -RampDw: Ramp Down. Will raise values on steps, that are placed before last step divided by 2, and lower values on steps, placed after last step divided by 2.
Page 335 Templates for the Position Subtrack When entering the templates page from the Position subtrack, it will look like this: Turn Edit Knob 1, to set the range. This will set, how much the template routine will affect the values, that are already on the selected subtrack. When this is set to 100%, the template function will be absolute.
Page 336 -2note: 2 Note Poly. The more the Range parameter is turned up, when touching this, the more the track will be forced to play back 2 note polyphonic. -4note: 4 Note Poly. The more the Range parameter is turned up, when touching this, the more the track will be forced to play back 4 note polyphonic.
Page 337 It is also possible to clear or double the track. The parameters of this page: Mod: Note Track modulation source. Any Tiny LD modulation source can be selected to modulate the track. For a complete list of modulation sources, see the list in the start of the synth part...
Page 338 Dest: Track modulation destination. Selects what should be modulated on the track. Choices are: -Note: The note numbers of the track will be modulated. If “Kybd” is selected as the modulation source, incoming MIDI notes, and notes played on the touchscrenn keyboard, will no longer play back notes.
Page 339 Clear Note Track From the Mod page, touch the “Clear Track” button, to enter this page: Touching “Yes” from here, will initialize all step values and parameters of the currently selected note track, except for the Last Step parameter. If you would not wish to do this, touch “No”, to exit to the track Mod page.
Page 340 Double Note Track Touch the “Double” touch button, to double the length of the track. All events from the original track, is copied to the new half. Useful if you need some extra variation in a track. PLEASE NOTE: The track lengths cannot exceed 64 steps for the note tracks.
Page 341 You can, at any time, hit the Steps/Part button, and switch note steps on or off, but sometimes you might like to just record something, that you play on a connected MIDI device, like a keyboard or a drum pad, on the touch screen keyboard, or on Tiny LD’s trigger buttons. For this, realtime recording is usable.
Page 342 The realtime recording mode is set on the Sequencer Main page, by adjusting the Rec parameter. The choices are: -Mono: Monophonic recording -Poly: Polyphonic recording -Audio: Audio track recording (Explained a little bit later in this manual) -AudCH: Chopped audio track recording (Explained a little bit later in this manual) On the Sequencer Main page, it is also possible to switch realtime recording on and off, by touching the Rec touchbutton.
Page 343 Step Recording of Notes On top of the xox style and realtime recording methods, step recording of notes and controllers are also possible.
Page 344 This will now be recorded. If any controller track is set in recording mode (explained in the next section), MIDI CC’s and knob movements can also be recorded to specific steps this way. -If Step Advance is set to on, Tiny LD will advance to the next step, every time it receives a note off.
Page 345 If the sequencer is running, while step recording, the time you hold down a note, will be recorded. If the sequencer is stopped, resolution will determine the note length.
Page 346 Setting up a track/part to internal or external operation Each of the 16 Tiny LD note tracks, can control either the internal part, that they are hard assigned to, or external MIDI gear. When a part/track is set up to external MIDI control, the internal part can not make any sound.
Page 347 On this page, touch TRIG.
Page 348 Now you will enter this page: Select the part, that you would like to set up as internal or external, by holding down the Steps/part button, while pushing the step button, that has the desired part number. Set the Int/Ext parameter to Int (Internal) or Ext (External). If you set the part to external, set the Chan parameter to a MIDI channel that matches the MIDI gear, that you would like to control.
Page 349 Audio Track Recording Each of the 16 Tiny LD note tracks, can be set up to function as an audio track. 8 audio tracks can play back at a time, and each can be either in mono or in stereo. One audio track can be recorded at a time.
Page 350 Audio track setup. From the Preset select page, touch the EDIT field, to enter the synth main page. Touch SMP on the top navigation bar.
Page 351 You should now enter this page: Touch the REC touch button.
Page 352 If you can already hear the source, that you would like to record, leave the Moni parameter Off. If you have the record source connected directly to any of Tiny LD’s audio inputs, and can’t hear it now, switch the Moni parameter to On. If you only want to listen to the record source, while it is recording, and get the source signal switched off, at the moment recording stops, and the tracks starts to play back, set the Moni parameter to Rec.
Page 353 The #Smp parameter will show how many sampling that the Tiny LD sample bank already holds, and the Used parameter will show how many percent of the sample bank, that are already in use. For optimal results, set the level parameter to +0, and adjust the level of the record source, so that the 2 VU-meters in the bottom of the screen does not get red.
Page 354 Now go to the sequencer note track page by: Exit the Sample Rec page, by touching EXIT in the upper right corner, to go back to the Sample Edit page. Touch SEQ on the top navigation bar.
Page 355 You should now have entered this page: Touch NOTE TRACK 1-16, to enter the note track page.

Page 357 Touch MAIN.
Page 358 If the sequencer is already running, it will start recording the audio track, the next time the track starts over from step 1. If the sequencer is not already running, push the Start/Stop button, to start it. Tiny LD will now count in for 2 bars, with the metronome audible, and then start recording.
Page 359 The audio track sample will be saved in this format: [Preset number]_[Track number]_[BPM]_AUDTR...
Page 360 The Controller Tracks Tiny LD has 32 controller tracks. Each of these only have one subtrack: The controller track values. Each track can be on up to 128 steps long, and a Smooth function can be turned on, that will automatically create values between the steps, from one step value to another, for smooth transitions between them.
Page 361 Controller track Step Values From the sequencer access page, touch Controller Track 1 to 16, to access these controller tracks, or touch Controller Track 17 to 32, to access these tracks. To access a specific track, push and hold the Steps/Part button, while pressing one of the step buttons.
Page 362 Here, when neither 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 or 13-16 are black: Edit Knob 1: Has no function. Edit Knob 2: Selects the bar to be viewed. 4 bars can be viewed, showing each 16 steps, for a total of 64 steps. The bar number is shown just above the values field (marked Page), and the first and the last step number viewed, is shown just above the values field, to the right and the left.
Page 363 Key Grid Mode By touching the CTR/CTK field in the upper left corner of the controller track screen, this page will toggle between the value bars and a key grid. The key grid mode will make it easier to program sequences for CV synths. In order to make the key scaling fit, this should only be used in conjunction with the CV stepped quantized modes, explained under “Controller Tracks CC page”, a few pages later.
Page 364 Controller Tracks Templates Templates are available to make it easier to create ramps on a track and to randomize things. For the position track templ When on either the Controller track step values page, touch TMP on the top navigation bar, to enter the templates page.
Page 365 -Middle: Will move any values closer to the middle value. -Zero: Will lower any values. -Full: Will raise any values.
Page 366 MIDI out or internally, as set on the CCout parameter. When a number is set, this is the CC number that will be outputted. If any Tiny LD Edit Knob are assigned to this CC, the knob name will be written in parenthesis. If set to Pitch Bend, this is what will be outputted.
Page 367 PLEASE NOTICE: This parameter has only been kept, to ensure compability with Tiny LD presets. It has no real function on Tiny LD, except for, that it will make the controller tracks “stepped”. Start: 1 to 128. Sets the track start step. This will be the step, the track starts at, when hitting the Start/Stop button, or when entering this preset from another preset, while the sequencer is running.
Page 368 Clear Controller Track From the track CC page, touch the “Clear Track” button, to enter this page: Touching “Yes” from here, will clear all step on’s of the currently selected controller track. If you would not wish to do this, touch “No”, to exit to the track main page.
Page 369 Double Controller Track Touch the “Double” touch button, to double the length of the track. All events from the original track, is copied to the new half. Useful if you need some extra variation in a track. PLEASE NOTE: The controller track lengths cannot exceed 128 steps.
Page 370 Controller Tracks Realtime Recording MIDI CC’s, Pitch Bend and knob movements can be realtime recorded on the 32 controller tracks. To do this, on the controller track CC page, set it to the event type, that you would like to record, using the CC parameter.
Page 371 Set the length of the controller tracks(s), if desired. Now set Tiny LD in sequencer recording mode, by touching the REC field on the sequencer main page or on the preset select page, so that it turns red, or push and hold the Func/Mute button, while pressing the Start/Stop button.
Page 372 If the sequencer was running, when you switched the controller tracks into recording mode, they will stay armed (yellow), until the controller track passes step 1. Then they will switch to recording mode, and the squares will turn red, to indicate that. When a controller track reaches its last step, recording will stop, and its square will turn grey.
Page 373 Go to the CTR page, and set the controller track length. Now, go to the Synth section page and select the part, where the parameter is located. Put Tiny LD in realtime recording mode, by making sure that the Func/Mute button is lighting up, and then push step button 2/Rec.
Page 374 Pitch Bend and CC recording auto setup From the sequencer note track Mod pages, it is also possible to make Tiny LD automatically set up controller tracks to realtime record pitch bend and CC events. When using this function, the controller track is set to the double resolution as the note track, and therefore also the double length, to make the tracks match.
Page 375 To initiate Pitch Bend recording -Make sure that sequencer realtime recording is switched off. -Set the desired length and resolution of the note track. -Go to the Mod page, and touch BEND REC, so that it turns yellow. -Start realtime recording. -If the sequencer is already running, recording will start, when the controller track passes step 1.
Page 376 Controller Tracks Step Recording It is also possible to step record controller events. To initiate step recording: -Set the controller track in realtime recording mode, as described in a previous chapter. -Start the sequencer playback, if desired. Step recording is possible no matter if the sequencer is running or not.
Page 377 Synth and Sequencer Morphing On Tiny LD it is possible to morph between 2 layers of parameters, layer A and B, by turning the 2/Morph knob for the synth parameters, and the 3/SeqMrp knob for the sequencer parameters. The Morph knob transmits and receives MIDI CC 1 (The Mod Wheel) via MIDI in and out, and the Seq Morph knob transmits and receives MIDI CC2.
Page 378 More… preset parameters/Setup From the Preset Select page, touch the Edit field.
Page 379 On the navigation bar at the top of the screen, touch MOR.
Page 380 This will get you to the More… page. Here you can set up all the basic Tiny LD things, like global MIDI channel, morphing, setup FilterBoard type, check and erase the Tiny LD memory, initialize the preset and change to song mode.
Page 381 Chan: The Tiny LD global MIDI channel. All MIDI data to Tiny LD will be received on this channel, if the Mode parameter is set to Sel (Explained in a moment). MIDI CC’s from the Edit/Quick Edit Knobs and the Morph knob will be transmitted on this channel, if the Mode parameter is set to Sel.
Page 382 ClkOut: Settings: Off, On. Selects whether or not Tiny LD will re-transmit MIDI clock and start/stop events to MIDI out. Even if Tiny LD is syncing to an external MIDI clock source, it will re-transmit this, if this parameter is on. This setting is automatically saved, and will be remembered after a power off.
Page 383 Morph Setup On the Morph Setup page, it is possible to set a permanent morph value, that will override the Morph knob, if you wish to always have a preset playing back in a certain morph position. It is also possible to modulate the morph knobs, using a limited number of modulation sources, including a morph LFO.
Page 384 Src: Morph modulation source. Sources are: -LFO: The morph section LFO. Described below. -Seq1 to Seq8: Sequencer controller tracks 1 to 8. -CV1 to CV4: CV inputs 1 to 4. -Kybd: The last note number value received -Velo: The last note velocity value received -TouY: Touch screen keyboard Y position.
Page 385 Sequencer Morph Knob Setup Touch the Seq touch button, to enter this page. This is the settings for the Seq Morph knob, that affect the Sequencer. Parameters on this page: Perm: Seq Morph knob permanent value. Will override the value of the Seq Morph knob, and keep morph on the permanent value plus modulation.
Page 386 Rate: Seq Morph LFO rate. Sets the tempo of the morph section LFO, that can only modulate the morph parameter. Wave: Seq Morph LFO output waveform. Morphs between triangle, sawtooth, square, pulse and FM waveforms. The FM waveforms are high frequency waves, that can be used for FM synthesis.
Page 387 PccIN: Off, On. Parameter CC Input. If this parameter is set to On, many of the Tiny LD parameters will be hard-assigned to MIDI CC numbers. This also makes it possible to control the same parameters directly from the sequencer controller tracks, and to realtime record parameters tweaks on the controller tracks.
Page 388 KnobCC: On, Off. When on, 3 of the Edit Knob will transmit MIDI CC’s to MIDI Out, when turned. When off, they will not transmit any MIDI CC’s on MIDI out. Qedit: Will switch the Quick Edit functionality of the Edit Knobs on or off. When this is set to off, the Edit Knobs will not have any function on the Preset Select page, unless they are assigned as modulation sources.

Song number and name is shown for songs that are already saved. If you save your new song on such a location, the old song will be overwritten.
Page 427 When you touch the song location, that you would like to save your song to, you will enter this page: Type in the name for your song. This can be up to 16 characters long. “Aa” will switch between uppercase/lowercase letters, and numbers/signs: “<”...
Page 428 Touch SAVE when you are done. Your song will now be saved, and Tiny LD will exit from the save pages.
Page 429 Initializing a Song If you would just like to start all over with an empty song, it is possible to initialize it. To do so, in song mode, access the MOR page: From here, hit INIT.
Page 430 Please notice, that when initializing a song, this is only done in Tiny LD’s temporary song RAM, NOT on the FLASH memory, so if you did this by mistake, or you regretted doing it, you can always recall the song, by selecting another song, and select this again.
Page 431 Copy/Paste On Tiny LD it is possible to copy morph layer A, B or the parameter setting at the position of the Morph knob. It is possible to copy one or two layers of the whole preset, or only a section of the preset, like a synth part, the settings of a filter, a sequencer track, and much more.
Page 432 It will tell you how to copy layer A to layer B, and right below this, it will tell you, what it will copy. In the example, the copy function was entered from the preset select page, and Tiny LD tells you, that it will copy the whole preset.
Page 433 If 2 layers are copied, Tiny LD will also paste to 2 layers. If only one layer is copied, Tiny LD will paste to the layer selected by the Morph Set button. To copy, hit step button 13 (Copy) again.
Page 434 Sequencer Steps Copy/Paste It is possible to copy/paste a specific range of steps, from any location of a sequencer track, to any location of any track. This is possible only when copying a single track, not when copying all tracks or the whole preset.
Page 435 Clear Dest Steps: If you copy from or paste to a polyphonic track, or “Poly” (explained below) is on, switching this function on, will make Tiny LD clear all steps, which position is inside the range of the steps to be pasted, before the pasting.
Page 436 If “Clear Dest Steps” is off, no steps will be overwritten. When entering the Track Paste Page, Tiny LD will analyze both the source and destination tracks, and if any of these are polyphonic tracks, it will automatically switch Poly on. If both tracks are monophonic tracks, it will switch Poly off.
Page 437 Samples are recorded and played back in mono or stereo. Tiny LD has 1 bank of FLASH memory for storing samples, Bank. Bank A holds up to 43 minutes of mono samplings, maximum 2048 samplings. One sampling can maximum be 43 minutes long.
