SETTING UP - BASIC SETUP
Setting up
Connect the Master left & Right Audio Outputs ( & the Aux. 1, Aux. 2 & Aux. 3 Audio Outputs if required ) of the Supernova II Rack
to a suitable amplifier or mixing desk’s stereo inputs & set the Master Volume control on the Supernova II Rack to a reasonably
high output level ( 9 - 10 ). This will maintain a good signal to noise ratio. Make sure the input volume on your amplifier or mixing
desk is initially set to zero.
Make sure that the Supernova II Racks mains switch is in the “OFF” position. Connect the Mains supply with the supplied lead to
the Mains Socket on the Supernova II Rack. Connect the other end to the mains supply & switch the supply on. The display should
now illuminate showing the Performance, Program or Favourite that was selected the last time global data was written into memo-
ry. Refer to page 42 for details on this function. Now switch on your amplifier & adjust the volume accordingly whilst playing the
master keyboard.
The master keyboard will be playing the currently selected Performance, Program or Favourite. To listen to all of the Factory
sounds, make sure you are in the Performance, Program or Favourite Mode by pressing the Performance, Program or Favourite
Button & use the Keypad section to call up the different sounds. For details on how to select the different Performances &
Programs & what they are refer to page 29.
Basic setup
Above is a diagram of the basic way to set-up the Supernova II Rack. Normally the set-up would be as follows: Connect the
Supernova II Rack as shown above. Set the “Local On/Off” parameter on page 7 of the Global mode to OFF. Turn the Computer
Software / Sequencer’s “Soft Thru” ( or sometimes called “Echo Back” ) to the “ON” or “Enabled” position. Now when selecting a
“Track” in the computer Software / Sequencer that is assigned to the same channel as the Supernova II Rack is set to receive on
( If this is a Performance you can set the receive channels individually for each “Part”. Refer to page 115 for details, If this is a
Program, Programs are played on the “Global MIDI Channel. Refer to page 43 for details.) playing the master keyboard should
should produce sounds through the Headphones / Monitors.
The Supernova II Rack can have virtually any parameter controlled via MIDI. The movement of any knob, the pressing of any but-
ton or change to any parameter can be recorded with this setup. These recordings can then be easily edited on a sequencer.
Details on all the controllers & NRPNs used by the Supernova II Rack can be found on page 128 to page 129.
If there are additional keyboards / Modules connected via MIDI, this diagram does not include audio for the keyboards / Modules.
The audio outputs of these devices must also be connected to the mixer.
To listen to the Factory Demo
Once the Supernova II Rack is connected as shown you can listen to the Factory Demonstration. To do this press the Find &
Global buttons at the same time.
