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 noone really can
guarantee how long it will keep it's perfect function when displaying the same content for hours or even days,
we integrated a little 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 off the OLED display – the LEDs of 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.
