Waldorf Kyra
Rotary Controls
Kyra‘s rotary controls provide real time
control over many of the instrument‘s
parameters. Most controls carry two pa-
rameters, a primary and a secondary pa-
rameter. The primary parameter is con-
trolled when Shift Lock mode is off (
Shift
Lock
button LED off) and the parameter
controlled is that described under the
control. The secondary parameter is controlled when Shift
Lock is on (
Shift Lock
button LED on) and the parameter
controlled is that described above the control. Some con-
trols have no secondary function and controls in the
Effects section have up to six different controlled parame-
ters depending on the Effects Select mode selected with
the Effects button.
A few controls have an additional secondary function only
when the Oscillator Groups are in Hypersaw Mode. These
controls have bold blue legends.
It is possible to set values accurately with the rotary con-
trols but if you want a precise value, a good strategy is to
set the approximate value with the rotary control and then
use the
Value
buttons to nudge the value to exactly the
right number. The two sets of controls work well with each
other.
System Controls
The System control buttons are located at the centre of the
control panel beside the display. These buttons provide
access to the core control features of Kyra.
Page Buttons
The two
Page
buttons are used to navigate
the pages in the Edit Path of the current
Edit Mode. Note that Kyra does not hide any
pages, so some pages appear that may not
be relevant to the current configuration
(e.g. wave parameters when the Patch is in
Hypersaw Mode). The Edit Path will cycle
round if the first or last page are navigated
past. The
Page
buttons only operate in Edit Mode and are
not used otherwise.
Cursor Up/Down Buttons
The
Cursor
buttons fulfil a
similar purpose to the
Page
buttons but move the cursor
one parameter at a time
rather than one page at a
time. Scrolling the cursor off the top or bottom of the page
will move to the previous or next page, respectively. You
