Heckmann Audio Repro-1 100B, Operation Manual

Page: 5 / 38

1-3 KNOBS AND SWITCHES
The knobs respond to vertical click & drag and to mouse wheel movement (no clicks
required). You can fine tune most parameters, most often with a resolution of 0.01,
by holding down SHIFT before clicking on the knob. How switches react depends on a
global preference called Switch Behaviour – see the Configuration chapter.
The name and value of the control currently being edited appears in the data display ,
which you will find in the middle of the control bar (see below).
Parameter Locking : To prevent a value from changing when you switch presets, use
the Lock function – right-click on any control and select the last entry in the menu.
1-4 THE CONTROL BAR
u-he Badge : Clicking on u-he opens a popup menu containing links to this user guide,
to our homepage, to our support forum, and to various social networks.
SYNTH, TWEAKS, SEQUENCER, PRESETS : These buttons switch between Repro-1’s
four basic views. To ensure that each new instance will open in the current view,
right-click anywhere within the row of buttons and select set current as default.
MIDI activity: An indicator which flashes whenever MIDI data is being received.
Data Display : Performs several duties: Normally, it shows the name of the preset.
Clicking on the triangles steps through all presets, while clicking in the middle of the
display lets you select any preset from the current folder. While editing, the name and
value is displayed, and the preset name reappears after a few seconds.
UNDO / REDO : To the right of the data display is a pair of buttons you can use to fix
any ‘mistakes’. Although the number of steps in the undo-buffer is limited, you can
even undo a change of preset – so switching presets doesn’t mean losing your work!
SAVE button: Stores the preset in the current folder (see PRESETS below).
HQ button: The global High Quality option shouldn’t be necessary for anything but
extreme FM sounds. Circuit-level modeling requires lots of CPU anyway, and doubling
the CPU usage should be carefully considered – let your ear be the judge!
zZz button: Activating the global Sleepy option reduces CPU consumption whenever
Repro-1 isn’t playing any notes. Note that Sleepy can cause artifacts not present in the
original hardware – again, let your ear be the judge.
MASTER TUNE : Tunes the preset within a range of +/– 12 semitones. For fine tuning,
hold down a SHIFT key on your computer keyboard while adjusting.
OUTPUT : Final volume control, after the amplifier and all effects.
