7. Synth specific addendum
This section describes special issues only relevant for certain editions of the SSC.
SSC edition '8P' for Roland JX8P
There are 2 parameters we did not get on the frontpanel and which need to be edited
on JX8P synth itself:
•
Env1 Keyfollow
•
Env2 Keyfollow
SSC edition 'Microwave' for Waldorf Microwave
Please keep in mind the Waldorf Microwave has much more to offer than the SSC is
giving you direct access to. Please dig in the Microwave's manual for more.
The Waldorf Microwave does not take the Midichannel into account for SysEx editing.
Therefore we do not need and offer a 'Midi Channel Learn' Mode.
Each parameter on the frontpanel containing the term 'Mod Amnt' is bipolar which
means, it can go positive or negative, center position is neutral. We would have felt
unpleasant to destroy our design if we printed about 8 times a small '0' on the
frontpanel.
In case you miss the small Midicontroller-Number besides the parameter
'Wavetable' ... changing the
wavetable
takes a looong time until the synth is capable
playing notes in time again. In addition it is very annoying, having changed the
wavetable unintended, particularly if you can not remember which wavetable was set
before the change. Therefore we intentionally left out changing wavetables by Midi
Control change message.
Issue using
Letter Dial Mode
: The Waldorf Microwave does not update it's display
after receiving the SysEx message for changing a patchname letter. We therefore
hecked out a workaround by remotely telling the microwave the message 'press O.K.
button' after each letterchange. This leads to the side effect that the display cursor
skips one digit on each letter change. This is not a bug, it's a feature to keep you
awake while editing and won't do any harm to your beloved Microwave. Caution: the
O.K.-button is also used for more serious tasks like e.g. to confirm patch saving. So
when using the Letter Dial Mode for name editing, it is advisable to have the
microwave set into it's appropriate patchnaming page.
The Waldorf Microwave itself offers a multimode where you have several instruments
