TRANSLATING SETTINGS TO HOLES -
Most controls have markings which are
directly translatable to card holes. For
example, consider the ATTACK control in the
AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE. The ATTACK control
has seven marks around it numbered 1
through 7. If the control is set to number 1,
you simply punch out the 1 hole in the
ATTACK portion of the VOLTAGE
CONTROLLED AMPLIFIER section of the
card. If the control is set to 2, punch out the
2 hole. If the control is set to 3, punch out
the 1 hole plus the 2 hole (1 +2 = 3).
If the
CONTROL setting is:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Punch holes
valued at:
1
2
2 + 1
4
4 + 1
4 + 2
4 + 2 + 1
If no holes are punched, the ATTACK time is
not programmed and the panel control
setting determines the attack time. The
ATTACK time can then be varied manually
while using a program card.
This same procedure may be used to set the
remaining programmable parameters with
numbered controls. Remember, if no holes
are punched, that parameter may be manu
ally controlled.
The following programmable parameters do
not have numbers on the panel face. In
these cases, a code is provided for their
translation.

CAUTION: When punching cards, use care
to align the punch directly over the marked
rectangle. Turn the card and punch so that
punched rectangle is directed away from
face!
A PRACTICE TRANSLATION. Before trying
to program one of your own settings, set up
your SynKey as shown in Fig. 9. Translate
this setting to a blank program card. Compare
what you have punched to the card that
came with your instrument. The newly
punched card and prepunched card should
be identical.
In programming your own sounds
remember the following: you cannot
program "in between" settings. If you have
RESONANCE set midway between 3 and 4
for instance, alternately try 3 and 4 to see
which is more suitable. Usually you will find
that either 3 or 4 will suffice. If not, mark the
card "RES 3.5" and leave the resonance
unprogrammed.
(China marking pens, such as the Sanford's
Sharpie, may be used to mark cards. Do not
leave the cap off as the pen tip dries rapidly.)
After a little practice you will be able to
punch cards without reference to diagrams.
Additional decks of blank cards are
available from your dealer. If temporarily
unavailable write: SynKey, Dept. E, Box 205,
New Hartford, CT 06057.
