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. To keep things simple we just talk about midi notes in the following.
Exception for 'Microwave' edition: your controller needs the midi channel only for the CC-SysEx-translator, not for
normal operation. For midi channel learn mode on this edition hold ALL three buttons for 2 seconds.
To enter the Midi Channel Learn Mode, hold the button combination printed on the frontpanel for about
2 seconds. The lights of the pressed buttons will start flashing, you can release the buttons now. The Synth
Controller awaits an incoming note on it's Midi In jack. If nothing comes in for about 30 seconds, the Synth
Controller will return to normal operation mode, keeping it's old Midichannel. If the Synth Controller learnt
which channel to use, it will nicely flash and return to normal operation. You can also leave this mode manually
by shortly pressing any of the buttons.
Bypass Mode
This mode is for optimizing mididata flow and locking the user interface against unintended parameter changes
at the same time. You can enter the Bypass Mode by holding the button combination printed on the frontpanel.
The corresponding lights will flash to indicate your Synth Controller is in Bypass Mode.
In Bypass Mode, most routines of the Synth Controller's software are skipped and incoming Midi is passed
through unprocessed offering the least latency. In addition any dialing of the pots is ignored. This is useful for
several situations:
your perfect song is ready for being recorded and you want to ensure the smallest latency for mididata
•
going through the Synth Controller
you got kids or cats (or both) in your studio and want to prevent, they destroy your soundpatch
•
masterpiece at the moment they see the awesome Synth Controller and can't stand to fiddle the pots
You can leave Bypass Mode by pressing any of the 3 buttons.
