3. Operation
Using the SSC is quite simple. After setting the suitable Midichannel once, all
operation will be performed by just 3 buttons and 16 pots. In the following you'll be
explained in detail how to use them.
Colorcoded parameters
In the upper left corner are 3 colored lighted buttons represention 3 edit modes.
Pressing a button causes the SSC to switch into the appropriate color mode. Some
adaptions of the SSC have the colors Red, Green, Yellow, some have Red, Green, Blue.
There are even adaptions using other color combinations.
Now each color mode has a set of parameters
printed in that color on the frontpanel, which are
sent out on the MIDI Out jack when the
appropriate pot is dialed. For example if you
press the green button it will light up and the
parameters on the frontpanel printed in green
will be sent to the synth as you move the pots. If
you find a parameter you want to change next,
have a look at it's color and change into that
color mode with one of the 3 buttons - if it is not already selected.
Front panel parameters printed in neutral colors
Some very common parameters - according to
the adaption you purchsed - like 'Volume' or
'Cutoff' might be printed in a neutral color
(white, black or grey). These parameters are
always used when dialing this pot, regardless of
the selected color mode. Exception: if the SSC is
in Bypass Mode, these parameters are ignored
like any others.
Front panel in general
In rare cases you will find some parameters printed twice on the frontpanel. The 'K3'-
Edition e.g. offers 'Lowcut' and 'LFO Speed' in the red AND the green parameterset.
The reason: after all synth-parameters were layed out, we still had parameter slots left
over which we did not want to leave unused.
Some parameters have a small '0' or a dot printed above their knob. These parameter
