Selecting Programs / Finder Mode - Novation Super Bass Station Owner's Manual

There are three ways to select a program. First make sure you are in the "Program Mode".
Selecting Programs
The "Program Mode" is selected if the "Program LED" is lit or flashing. If it is not press the
"Finder" Mode
MODE button until it is. There are 2 "Banks" of 100 sounds in the Super Bass Station. They
are divided up as follows: You cannot store programs in the ROM area ("A" Bank 000 - 049)
only in the RAM area.( "A" Bank 050 - 099 and "B" Bank 100 - 199) If you edit a ROM program, you can save it in one of
the 150 RAM user program locations. There are three methods in which you can select a Program :
1. DIGIT INPUT Using the buttons 0 to 9. NOTE: this must always be a three digit entry, for example :
To select Bank A sound 8, press the "0" and "0" and "8" buttons and the display reads "08" and the "Program" LED is
continuously lit indicating that you are in A bank.
To select Bank B sound 17, press the "1" and "1" and "7" buttons and display reads "17" and the "Program" LED is flashing
indicating that you are in B bank.
2. INCREMENT/DECREMENT Using the "-" and "+" buttons.
Press the "+" button to move up to the next program. Press the "-" button to move down to the next program. You will notice
that if program A bank 99 is selected and press the "+" button the program will change to B bank 00.
You can also use MIDI Program Change and Bank Change commands from a sequencer or other external MIDI device to
call up programs.
3. FINDER MODE Performing a search for similar sounds.
Pressing the "Audition / Demo" will not only activate the Demo for the category of the sound currently selected but also will
engage "Finder Mode". As an indication that the Super Bass Station is in "Finder Mode" both the Decimal points in the dis-
play flash. Pressing the "+" and "-" buttons while in "Finder Mode" will not move up or down to the next program but up or
down to the next program in the same category. This makes it easy to audition similar sounds without having to remember
all the sounds locations. i.e if a"Bass" category sound is selected then pushing "+" will advance to the next "Bass" category
sound. To return to normal operation press the Audition / Demo button again. See Utilities / Sound Category on page 32 for
more information on categories and the separate sheet for more information on the Factory sounds.
