Instr Selector
The Nebulae can be an infinite number of different instruments, thanks to the .instr file. This allows an independent
chunk of Csound or Pure Data code to run with access to all files, and controls that our main granular looper uses.
The granular looper is actually a .instr file itself.
For more information on .instr files see the instrument reference document.
The selector can be entered when the module is running by pressing and holding the speed encoder. After two
seconds, the pitch and speed LEDs will illuminate green, and one of the five button LEDs will illuminate as well.
A fully illuminated button LED indicates the selected instruments.
A dimly illuminated button LED indicates that there is an instrument present in that position.
A unilluminated button LED indicates that there is no file present.
Clicking the Speed encoder from this menu will load the selected instrument, and check for a USB drive/reload files.
Clicking the Pitch encoder from this menu will return to the primary control menu without changing instruments.
The Speed LEDs will indicate whether you’re selecting from the factory bank of instrument files or the user bank.
You can change the bank by rotating the speed encoder.
If the Negative Speed LED is illuminated, the user bank of .instr files is selected.
If both Speed LEDs are illuminated, the factory bank of .instr files is selected.
If the Positive Speed LED is illuminated, the user bank of Pure Data files selected.
The five LEDs at the bottom signify the selection of an instrument file. Selecting one of the five, and then pressing
the speed encoder, will restart the Nebulae with the new instrument loaded.
If there are more than 5 instrument files in the bank:.
• The far left and/or far right buttons will blink between dim and off to indicate that there are more files in that
direction.
• The far left or far right button will blink between dim and fully illuminated to indicate that the selected instrument
file is in that direction.
• The pitch encoder can be rotated to scroll through the visible instrument files.
