STVC Quickstart
r
Sound selection and storing sounds is described in
the previous chapter.
r
More specific control is offered by the tweak func-
tionality, which is explained in the full manual.
Keyboard Transpose
Although the MIDI standard requires 128 keys, STVC offers
only 49 of those. To compensate this limitation, we added
this switch to enable you to reach more keys that physi-
cally accessible. Switch to the left to go one or two octaves
lower, right switch to go one or two octaves higher.
The Balance Dial
The sound engine consists of two
parts: Strings and Solo, clearly labeled
on the panel.
Balance
controls the
mix of these two. The leftmost positi-
on selects the Solo section only, while
on the far right only the Strings sec-
tion is audible. In the middle position,
both Strings and Solo are mixed with full scale.
Strings Section
The Strings section mimics string and other sounds, simi-
lar to how string machines of the 1970 did this. Don’t ex-
pect realistic string sounds here - expect realistic string
machine sounds.
