7. Real-Time Controls
The real-time controls give you immediate
access to all of a channel’s key parameters
(or the key parameters of all of the channels
in Hex Mode).
Before we get into the individual controls,
here are some things to keep in mind:
Option Modes
Most of the controls operate in a
primary mode, labeled on the panel
in black, and one or two Option
modes, labeled in blue. Option
modes are accessed (for Option 2) and then
turning the control.
A NOTE:
Clicking the Hex button while an
Option mode is active latches the Option
mode. That is, you can release the Option
button and Option mode continues to be
active, letting you adjust multiple Option mode
parameters without having to hold down the
Option button.
When an Option mode is latched, clicking the
Hex button unlatches it, returning the module
to primary mode.
ANOTHER NOTE:
While an Option mode is
latched, clicking the Option button cycles
sequentially through the three modes: Option
1 to Option 2 to primary.
When in Option 1 mode (either by holding
the Option button or when latched), the Hex
LED blinks at 4 Hz to indicate that. When in
Option 2 mode, the LED blinks at 8 Hz.
YET ANOTHER NOTE:
As described
elsewhere in this manual, clicking and
holding, or double-clicking and holding the
Option button enables a number of other
functions. Latching an Option mode latches
the ability to execute those functions as well.
Specifically:
When Option 1 is latched, the Channel
Output Viewer is active and clicking a
Channel Selection button triggers or resets
the phase of that channel.
When Option 2 is latched, the Preset
buttons function as CV Mode Selector
buttons.
AND YET ANOTHER NOTE:
Some of the
controls do not have a dedicated Option
2 function. In those cases, their Option 1
function will also be available when Option
2 is selected. In the detailed descriptions that
follow, those functions appear in parentheses.
Knob Behavior
When switching between channels for
programming, you will often find that a
knob’s current position doesn’t match the
value of its parameter in the newly selected
channel. As long as you don’t adjust the
position of the knob, the parameter in the
newly selected channel will not be affected.
However, as soon as you do move the knob,
the parameter will change to the knob’s
physical position.
Hex Mode
When in Hex Mode, the real-time controls, in
most cases, affect their parameters in all six
channels. However, there are a few instances
where certain functions are only available
when in Hex mode. These are indicated on
the panel with orange labels.
Channel Frequency Range
It’s important to remember that a channel’s
initial frequency (before any CV control)
is defined by the product of four of the
real-time parameters: Frequency, Octave,
Harmonic #, and Variation. In Hex Mode,
Frequency and Octave can be further offset
by their Hex Mode parameters. And, of
