Beads operates in mono or stereo depending on whether
one, or both, of the audio inputs
(1)
are patched.
When patch cables are inserted or removed, Beads monitors
for five seconds the level of the incoming signal and adjusts
the input gain accordingly, from +0dB to +32dB. The
input
level LED
(2)
blinks during this adjustment process. The
input gain is chosen to leave some headroom, but in case of
big level changes, a limiter kicks in.
One can manually restart the gain adjustment process by
pressing and holding the audio quality selector button
[A]
for one second. Holding this button
[A]
while turning the
feedback knob allows manual gain adjustments.
The manually-set gain is memorized and applied until a
long press on
[A]
re-enables automatic gain control.
The FREEZE latching button
[B]
and the corresponding gate
input
(3)
disable the recording of the incoming audio signal
in the buffer. Otherwise, Beads records continuously!
If FREEZE remains engaged for more than 10 seconds, the
content of the buffer is backed up, and will be restored the
next time the module is powered on.
Beads will not switch between stereo and mono operation,
or change the recording quality, while FREEZE is engaged.
