Switching between Studio and Live modes is done by a 

long press of the Global button

. Live 

mode is reflected by the Live red LED. An “L” or “S” also appears in the top left corner of the 
display. 

Note that if you don’t use preset control or morphing you can stay in Studio mode during live 
situations. You can also switch from Live mode to Studio mode at any time to save a tweak. 

Envelope selection and multi-editing 

The 4 b white LED row at the top select the envelopes under editing.  

It is allowed to select/edit more than one envelope at once. This is done by maintaining any of the 
4 buttons as a shift and adding/removing the others by individual press. 

When more than one envelope is selected for editing: 

 

The settings in the display and the 6 stage LEDS reflect the leftmost envelope 

 

Changes are simultaneously applied as absolute values to all envelopes selected 

Faders and User knob behavior 

Changes are applied after the physical position crosses the current value. This is shown by the 
fader’s red LED going solid on.  

A current setting of zero is indicated by double pulses (or reverse). 

Menus and editing 

There are 4 base menus with the CV Matrix button leading to 3 derived menus.

Once in a menu, selecting the pages is done by turning the encoder. 
Each menu contains a number of pages, possibly of two types: 

1.

 

Fader pages where four settings are controlled by the four faders 

2.

 

Parameter/option pages showing a single setting, changed via the encoder: 

o

 

Press the encoder to access editing; the Blue Edit LED goes on 

o

 

Turn to edit the setting 

o

 

Press the encoder to validate the change and exit editing 

You can always press another menu button to leave a page/setting you have entered.
