  • Page 4 Ground - sometime labeled as 'Minus' - on it's centerpin. Most guitar effects walwarts use this pin-standard. The Synth Controller has a protection diode for not doing any harm if the polarity of the power supply is wrong, it just won't work.
  • Page 5 Integration into your setup Example 1 - Synth Controller with a keyboard synth Connect 'Midi Out' of the Synth Controller with a Midi cable to 'Midi In' of your synth:...
  • Page 6 If you want to edit your Synth while it's being fired with notes from a sequencer you might prefer this setup: The Synth Controller merges data (notes, velocity, pitchbend...) coming from the sequencer with the SysEx-data generated by itself and sends them all together into your synth.
  • Page 7 Maybe you'd like to automate e.g. cutoff, envelope times or other parameters in your song? For automation we do not recommend recording the Synth Controller's output into your DAW. Besides the fact few DAWs can record SysEx-Data at all, your recorded tweaks could not be edited further.

  • Page 8: Operation

    Some synthesizers have a special SysEx-receive/recognize-parameter which needs to be set accordingly. Otherwize the commands of the Synth Controller are ignored. Examples are Roland JX-8P, Yamaha TX81-Z, Kawai K3, Oberheim Matrix 6 Korg DW-/EX-8000 … If your synth wont respond to the controller, even both midichannels are set to identical values please have a look into your editions addendum you can download from sc-en.stereoping.com...
  • Page 9 According to the edition you purchased, the one or other specialmode is available and can be engaged holding a button combination. If more 'special modes' are available than explained here, they are described in detail in the edition specific addendum you can download any time from sc-en.stereoping.com All Notes off It should not happen but for several reasons it might happen that a ringing note of your synthesizer will not stop anymore.
  • Page 10 Midi channel learn mode The Synth Controller has a Midi Channel Learn Mode. Once engaged, the Synth Controller waits for an incoming Midi note on it's Midi In jack. Exceptions for the editions '1016R' and 'Qfeld': they await a NoteOn or Pitchbend. More details in the edition's addendum.
  • Page 11 CC changes. The little numbers besides the parameters show the number you need to send into the Synth Controller to translate this parameter. To still allow the standard CCs like volume (#7) or paning (#10) the numbers start with #11 and end with max. #63.

  • Page 12: Technical Limitations

    Another issue you might encounter while using the Synth Controller are delayed or timing related unprecise notes while excessive pot fiddling. This problem is not caused by the Synth Controller, it is dismantled by it. The lags arise when too much data wants to travel the small pipe of the Midi dataline. Synth editing through the Synth Controller is performed using so called 'Midi SysEx data' which uses quite many databytes and normaly plays a secondary role in everyday's Midi world.

  • Page 13: Updating Firmware

    6. Updating firmware The day may come you want to update your edition or try out another. Your Synth Controller offers a firmware update mode for this. After entering this mode you just send a firmware-file into the controllers Midi-In jack. The firmwares in SysEx-format are all compatible to your controller and freely available on our website.
  • Page 14 To enter bootloader mode, hold the topmost button while powering the Synth Controller on. The middle button will light up. You can release the button then of course. Configure the SysEx-dump-software to use the correct Midi Output, open the firmware file and send it into the Synth Controller.
