QUICK START GUIDE
–
This Quick Start Guide will help you get started using your Stereo Talking
Machine immediately. For detailed information on all of the Stereo Talking
Machine's features and f
unctions, please refer to the rest of this owner’s manual.
Setup
1.
Using an unbalanced instrument cable, plug the output of your instrument
into the INPUT jack on the right side of the STM.
2.
Connect an unbalanced instrument cable from the MONO/L output jack on
the left side of the STM to the input jack of an amplifier.
3.
Connect the included AC Adaptor to a wall outlet and plug its barrel
connector into the 9V power jack at the top of the STM.
4.
Turn on the amplifier and turn up your instrument’s volume. Press th
e
BYPASS footswitch so that the STATUS LED is lit; the STM is now activated.
A. Preset Settings
Press and release the PRESET footswitch to cycle through the STM’s preset
settings. Each factory preset has been carefully prepared to utilize the deep
sonic capabilities of the STM. You may overwrite the factory presets with
your own sound creations whenever you like.
B. Manual Settings
1.
To begin, turn the STM’s knobs to the following positions:
BLEND:
Full Clockwise
VOICE:
Full Clockwise (OW-EE)
ATTACK:
12
o’clock
DECAY:
12 o’clock
SENSITIVITY:
1 o’clock
2.
Ensure the PRESET LED (bottom left) is off. If it is on, turn the white
PRESETS knob clockwise until the PRESET LED shuts off. This action
deactivates the currently loaded preset.
3.
Ensure the auxiliary functions (indicated by the leftmost orange LED) are
off. If they are on, press the white PRESETS knob to deactivate them.
4.
Play your instrument at the intensity you would like to trigger the filter
sweep. While playing, turn up the SENSITIVITY knob until the Sweep Level
LEDs light up completely after each note you play.
5.
To change the sweep speed of the filters, adjust the ATTACK and DECAY
knobs.
6.
Adjust the VOICE knob to try different voicings or filter types.

SWEEP LEVEL LEDs
–
The two rightmost orange LEDs under the PRESETS knob indicate the position
of the filters at any given moment. When the LEDs are both unlit, the filters are
at their rest position (ex: set to OW for the positive OW-EE voice). When the
LEDs are both lit, the filters are in their maximum position (ex: set to EE for the
positive OW-EE voice). The LEDs sweep on and off, visually representing the
audible sweep of the filters as the input signal triggers the envelope sweep, the
expression pedal manually moves through the filters or as the internal LFO
automatically modulates the filters.
