Technical handling
The Synth Programmer was built to be used in a comfortable music studio environement. You can operate it
under free skies of course. But please keep in mind, it uses electricity for proper operation and therefore is quite
sensitive to water, drinks or other fluids. Excessive heat or exposition to sunlight is also not advised.
Your programmer has got a neat OLED display. The OLED technology is quite young. As none really can
guarantee how long it will keep it's perfect function after displaying the same content for hours or even days, we
integrated a screensaver to mutiply the lifetime of the display. If the programmer is not touched for longer than
23 minutes it will fall into screensaver mode and switch the OLED display off – the LEDs in the buttons above the
display will start to blink slowly. The programmer awakes immediately if a knob is moved or notes are being sent
through it.
Some 'No-need-to-worry' information: the datasheet of the display claims 50.000 hours until it has lost 50 % of it's
brightness. If you would use your programmer 5 hours on each day of the year this will take over 27 years – even with
deactivated screensaver.
