  • Page 4 Introduction Welcome Thank you for choosing PRO-12 ASB. You will have just as much fun with your PRO-12 ASB as we had when developing this unique and characteristic Synthesizer. Please read the manual thoroughly in order to fully take advantage of the many features the PRO-12 ASB has to offer.

  • Page 5: Getting Started Making Connections

    PRO-12 Remote-Software. Connect the MIDI in and out of your PRO-12 ASB with the MIDI in and out of your keyboard or computer. The MIDI input of your PRO-12 ASB has to be connected to the MIDI output of your keyboard or computer and MIDI output of the PRO-12 ASB with the MIDI input of your keyboard or computer.

  • Page 6: Audio Connection

    In order to operate the MINIMAX ASB please turn the power switch on. USB Connections and driver installation (Windows XP) Rather than using MIDI to connect your PRO-12 ASB to a computer, you can use the implemented USB interface. To utilize this function, you will need the Windows Ser- vice Pack 2.
  • Page 7 Installation of the Remote-Software To install the Remote-Software coming with the MINIMAX ASB on your PC, please put the CD-ROM with print MINIMAX ASB into the CD-R drive of your Computer. The Install Dialog should then appear on your screen automatically. In case you have de-activated the automatic Start-function of your CD-R drive, please start the installation by double clicking the file „setup.exe”...

  • Page 8: Presets

    In the following dialog you have the oppor- tunity to check your setting once again. If all settings are correct, please choose in- stall to start the installation process. The final dialog offers the opportunity to open the Readme-File with actual informa- tion about the MINIMAX ASB and to start the Remote-Software after installation.

  • Page 9: Value

    Configuration-Strip The Configuration-Strip is used for System-Adjustments, Preset Con- figurations and various Display features. Match This display shows you all adjustable values for every parameter of the chosen preset . Turn a knob long enough so the LED (PRESET) in the middle blinks.

  • Page 10: Midi

    Midi Activate the CHANNEL button in order to select the desired MIDI channel with the DOWN/UP buttons or Data Wheel. If a small vertical line appears under the channel number, this means the instrument receives MIDI data on all channels (Omni-Mode). Midi data will be sent though, on the selected channel.

  • Page 11: Effects

    Presets ff. The second function of the USER button will be activated by pressing for longer time. In this case all visible parameters of the hardware will be stored as they are. Invisible parameters will be set to their basic value. Activate the STORE button to save a preset.

  • Page 13: Control Panel

    Control Panel Oscillator A&B The Oscillators A&B are mainly identic except some few differences. Turning the wheel allows you to add various waveforms to the oscillator signal. With Oscillator A you can apply Saw Wave and Pulse, with the Oscillator B you can choose between Saw Wave, Triangle and Pulse. All waveforms can be activated at the same time, which allows a mix of up to 5 oscillator waveforms in parallel.
  • Page 14 Pulse Width Adjust here the pulse range of the assigned Osczillator manually. To hear the resulting sound, the pulse width has to be activated. The range reaches from app. 5% up to 100% of the pulse width. Modulation of the Pulse width is described within the chapter „modulation“.

  • Page 15: Filter Section

    Filter Section The filter section consists of a lowpass Filter which can be modulated with resonance which reaches the Eigenresonanz. Together with the envelope curve and other modulations the lowpass filter defines the sound behaviour over time. The lowpass shows a Flankensteilheit of 24dB per Octave.

  • Page 16: Amplifier

    Amplifier Together with the envelope curve the Amplifier defines the volume Ver- lauf of the sound. For Modulation of the Amplifiers you can use the ADSR-envelope curve. The Volume Control is part of this section. Attack defines the duration of the first envelope curve segment. Within the given Attack Phase the envelope curve increases within the given time to the Maximum value.The intensity of the increase is defined by Envelope Amount.
  • Page 17 Options for Amp- and Filter Envelope Activate this option to set Sustain to zero. This way you can switch very quickly between percussive sounds and Sustain based soundswithout having to adjust or change the Sustain level each time. Release Activate this option to set Release time to zero. Volume Here you can adjust the master volume for the Syn- thesizer.
  • Page 18 The LFO of your PRO-12 ASB features three different wave forms, which are the same used within Oscillator B. Choosing the desired waveform can easily be done with the three LED push buttons. You can activate all waveforms one by one, all at the same time or in any combination you like, which can lead to very interesting results.
  • Page 19 Frequency Oscillator B, Pulsewidth Oscillator B and Filter Cutoff. You can connect sources and destinations directly or via the modulation wheel within the PRO-12 ASB. Thus you have two different modulations busses. The basic intensity will be adjusted initially for each source.
  • Page 20 Destination Freq A Activate this button to set the Modulation Signal of Oscillator A . Freq B Activate this button to set the Modulation Signal of Oscillator B. PW A Activate this button to set the Modulation Signal of the pulse width of Oscillator A .
  • Page 21 Glide By using the Glide function a played note will glide into the next note following fluently within the time defined by turning the glide wheel. Glide Here you define and set the time, in which the played note glides into the next following note.

  • Page 22: The Panel´s Layout

    The Panel’s Layout The Remote-Software offers you different pages for operation. The Main-Page shows the surface of the PRO-12 ASB and you will find all parameters which you already know from the hardware. On the Add-Page you will find parameters which are not easy to control via the PRO-12 ASB hardware or even not accessible at all.
  • Page 23 More details As the functions you can access on the Main Page are identical to the hardware behavior and have been described within the first chapters of this manual, the focus of this chapter lies on the additional functions of the Remote-Software.
  • Page 24 Aftertouch The Original never had an Aftertouch to adjust Modulation. The After- touch Section implemented within the PRO-12 ASB has been designed after a similar section within the T8 model. Other than within the T8 model the PRO-12 works with one-channel Aftertouch and not with Key Aftertouch.
  • Page 25 LFO Freq Intensity and direction of Modulation towards LFO Frequency. Time Velocity You can modulate the envelope curve times via velocity here. Filter Envelope Attack Define Intensity and direction of Attack time Modulation via velocity here. Dec/Rel Define Intensity and direction of Decay or Release times Modulation via Velocity here.
  • Page 26 MIDI Clock Settings Withi the MIDI Clock Settings you can adjust the MIDI-Tempo and define, if the instrument shall be synced to internal or external MIDI Clock. External Switches between internal and external MIDI Clock sync. Course/Fine To adjust and show the Tempo, you will find two text fields. The first one shows values in BPM (Beats per Minute) and the second shows the values in 1/100s BPM.
  • Page 27 Wheel MOD MW Intensity Maximum Intensity of the Wheel-Bus within the Modulation Section, whi- le the maximum Modulation is set with the Modulation Wheel. MW Offset General Intensity of the Wheel-Bus within the Modulation Section. De- pending on your Offset settings you can strengthen the modulation addi- tionally with the Modulation Wheel.

    MIDI MONITOR You can enter the MIDI-Monitor by pressing the MIDI-Monitor button on the right side of the Remote Software. The MIDI-Monitor allows you to check incoming and outgoing MIDI-messages. Controls Clear removes the shown values within the MIDI-Monitor. Pause sets MIDI messages on hold.
  • Page 33 MIDIKEYBOARD By using the Midi keyboard integrated in the Remote-Software you can play PRO-12 ASB without using any exter- nal keyboard or Sequencer software – with computer mouse or your PC key- board only. You activate the Midi Key- board by actuating the referring but- tons on the bottom of the Remote-Soft- ware.
