Settings
The disting has a number of settings, which are stored in flash memory. They are accessed by menu
4 "Settings". Once you've entered the Settings menu, turn the encoder to select the setting to
change.
The settings are:
•
Brightness
– set the display brightness.
•
Recall enable
– enable/disable recall from the Select Bus (see below).
•
In MIDI ch
– the input MIDI channel.
•
Out MIDI ch
– the output MIDI channel.
•
Thru MIDI
– enables a soft MIDI thru.
•
Pgm Chng Alg
– controls whether MIDI program change messages load a preset (0), select
the current algorithm (1), or are ignored (2).
•
Cont filenames
– if set, WAV and MIDI filenames scroll continuously in the display; if
unset, filenames scroll once when a new file is chosen, and then the display reverts to the
default algorithm name view.
•
Scroll speed
– the speed at which text scrolls across the display.
•
WAV sample rate
– sample rate to use for the Audio Playback algorithms. The default (0)
uses the disting's usual sample rate of 75kHz. The alternative (1) uses a reduced rate of
46875Hz. This can help reduce the load on the SD card, useful if e.g. you have a slower
card.
•
SD delay max
– the maximum delay time, in minutes, for the various Clockable SD Delay
algorithms. If the time between two taps is longer than this, the second will be ignored. This
also affects how much of the delay file is wiped when the algorithm is chosen, which
therefore affects how long the algorithm takes to start.
•
Switch param
– if set, when a MIDI CC message is received to change a parameter value,
that parameter becomes the current parameter (and so its value is displayed).
Once you've chosen the setting to change, press the encoder to select it, at which point the setting's
current value will be shown. Turn the encoder to change the value. Then press the encoder to accept
and store the value into flash, or press Z to leave the menu without storing the value.
Help
Accessing 'Help' from the menu displays algorithm-specific information. The help is loaded from
the MicroSD card, if present (else the message "No card" is displayed), and scrolled across the
display. To exit the help function, press Z.
The help text is a simple plain text file on the card, so it can be freely edited (e.g. to put your own
choice of information first, or to translate it into a different language).
