Playing The Programs And Timbres; Play Program - Oberheim OB 12 Operating Manual

OB 12
Once the connections have been made, follow these simple rules to switch on the instrument, in
order to prevent malfunctions and/or damage to the OB-12 and the connected instruments:
Check that the OB-12 is correctly connected to the rest of the system.
Check that the amplification and diffusion systems are switched off.
Set the OB-12 volume ([MASTER VOLUME] trimmer) at the minimum level.
Turn on the instrument using the [POWER] switch.
Turn on the amplification system and the diffusion system.
After the OB-12 has been switched on using the [POWER] switch, the display will show the
presentation video pages for a few moments, after which the Play Program video page will be
activated:
Keyboard Transpose Program Name
Program Location
Name and location of the timbre
Active Parts
in the selected Part
As can be seen above, this video page displays the name and memory location of the Program,
the keyboard transposition (KT: Keyboard Transpose field), the Parts enabled and the Timbre
contained in the Part currently selected (shown in reverse in the display field enabled for display
of the active Parts: Part 1, for example, in the illustration). Whenever you wish to display this
video page, press the [PROGRAM] key in the MODE&SET-UP section.
You can then scroll through all the 256 Programs using the encoder or the number keypad (in
which you can also use the [BANK] key to select the memory bank), confirming with [ENTER] if
you use the second option.
You can also use the [PART1] - [PART2] - [PART3] - [PART4] buttons to show on the display
which Timbre is contained in the Part concerned and modify all the parameters relating to the
selected Part. If one of these buttons is pressed when its Part is not selected (in the Part Settings
video page) no selection will be made.
N.B.: In view of its function, if the KEYB.MODE function is set as SINGLE in the Program currently
in use, pressing one of the [PART] keys will change the timbre being played as well as displaying
the Timbre contained in the Part concerned.
