Quasimidi POLYMORPH, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 11 / 69

When it receives MIDI messages, the [SEL1] button in the mixer section of the POLYMORPH
should flicker, and obviously you would also hear the sounds you are playing.
Choosing Sounds
Directly after turning the POLYMORPH on it is in the "SETUP" mode. If you turn the <SOUND>
dial in this mode, not only the sound of the chosen parts will be changed, but also the sound of all
4 parts and the assigned sequencer memories. The display would show:
Setupxx:xxxxxxxx
[Sound-Sel][---]
...instead of the "xx" the number and name of the chosen setup will be displayed. To change only
the sounds within the current setup, push [SOUND]. Then the following display message will
appear:
A001: EXAMPLE
[Bank-up][Setup]
This mode selects the single sounds from the different memory banks of the POLYMORPH.
With the softkey [F1] under the display, you can select the memory banks for the sound you wish
to call up. In the banks A-D you have the single sounds which are used in the setups. Those
intended for use as single sounds and especially pre-programmed for solo performance are the
sounds in bank "U". Select this bank by repeatedly pushing [F1]. Now you can recall up the desired
sound to play by scrolling the <SOUND> dial.
With [F2] you can return to the setup mode.
