One other problem that cannot be listed by displaying an Error Message is if
you record the data at too low a volume or play it back at too low a volume.
The result would be no reaction or response from the MATRIX-GR at all. The
display will read
" CHECKING DA TA "
or
"L OADING DA TA "
(depending on what function you're executing) and never change. The
VALUE LED will not flash either. The MATRIX-GR cannot "hear'' any of the
data and, as a result, will continue to wait patiently. You should also recheck
your connections.
In addition to the causes mentioned above, some of the more likely causes
of cassette errors are:
...J
The tape heads are dirty, out of alignment, or need to be
demagnitized .
...J
The tape quality is inferior or is not biased for the cassette
machine .
...J
The connecting cables between the MATRIX-GR and your tape
recorder are the wrong type, broken, not pushed in the jacks all
the way, or the connections are reversed.
Please bear in mind that cassette interfacing requires alot of patience and
experimentation. But once you've found the right settings for your
recorder, the cassette function will prove to be very reliable.
VIBRATO
The MATRIX-GR contains a third LFO dedicated for VIBRATO, freeing up
LF
0
1 and LFO 2 to be used for other modulation purposes if needed.
VIBRATO can be on constantly or can be controlled by either Local
PEDAL 1 , a M I DI PEDAL 1 or M I DI LEVER1 (Vibratro Wheel), selectable.
30 SPEED
Same as for the LFOs. Variable from O to +G3.
31 WAVEFORM
Same as for the LFOs. Selectable TRI, DNSAW, U PSAW, SQ UAR,
RAN DM and NOISE.
32 AMPLITUDE
Same as for the LFOs. Variable from O to +G3.
33 SPEED MOD SOU RCE
The SPEED of the VIBRATO can be modulated by either PEDAL 1 or
LEVER2 and is selected in this parameter. Many other synthesizers
do not off er this type of Vibrato programming and generally keep the
Speed of the Vibrato constant. Having performance control over the
SPEED as well as the AMOUNT of the Vibrato adds flexibility to this
popular modulation.
