Page 8: Getting Started
Getting started 1. Set the MIDI-CHANNEL to the desired channel. The illustration below shows the switch positions assigned to the MIDI channels 1-16: Note: controller messages related to MIDI-enabled parameters and note messages are only received and processed on the currently selected MIDI channel of the SINE MB 33 II. -
Page 9: Function
Function The VCO is a voltage-controlled oscillator that can generate either square-wave or sawtooth waveforms. Choose the waveform with the WAVE switch. An additional sub-oscillator can be added to this waveform with the MIX control. It generates a square wave with a pulse width of 50%, but one octave lower. MIX control to the left: only the sub-oscillator can be heard. -
Page 10: Vcf
The VCF is an 18 dB low-pass filter with an adjustable resonance. It can be used to increase or reduce the harmonics in the VCO's output signal. It features controls for cutoff, resonance and envelope modulation: The CUTOFF control determines the cutoff frequency of the VCF. Harmonics above the cutoff frequency are clipped;... -
Page 11: Accent
Accent The accent determines the playing dynamics by differentiating the individual notes from one another. The accent of the SINE MB 33 II is especially effective in that it affects several parameters at the same time. The volume is raised significantly. The accent's volume boost is reduced as the distortion level increases. -
Page 12: Vcf In
VCF IN External audio signals can be applied to the VCF IN socket for processing by the SINE MB 33 II. Connect an external audio signal source to the VCF INPUT socket of the SINE MB 33 II. The internal oscillator is disconnected from the input of the VCF and replaced by the external signal. -
Page 13: Midi Control
MIDI control If a sound is modified by changing one of the controls, the SINE MB 33 II will send an appropriate control-change message to the MIDI OUT which can then be recorded by a MIDI sequencer. If these controller messages are returned to the SINE MB 33 II, this will change the sound in a manner identical to the previous manual change. -
Page 14: Recording Sound Changes
Recording sound changes Procedure: n Connect the MIDI OUT of the SINE MB 33 II to the MIDI IN of the MIDI recording device (e.g. computer, hardware sequencer, etc.). Sound changes are generally made while playing a melody sequence on the SINE MB 33 II. Connect the MIDI OUT of the SINE MB 33 II to the MIDI IN of the MIDI recording device. -
Page 15: Edit Mode: Norm
Edit mode: NORM A parameter will respond to both incoming controller data as well as manual changes to the controls. For example, changing the Cutoff control will set the cutoff frequency to the value corresponding to the control's position. Receiving controller data with the number 103 will also set the cutoff frequency to the value specified in the controller data. - Page 16 Note: If the SINE MB 33 II receives controller data for multiple parameters (e.g. cutoff and resonance), only the controller data of the last edited parameter will be sent to MIDI OUT. For example, if the cutoff control is changed, the modified controller data will be sent to MIDI OUT.
