PRESETS
Your Altura MkII contains 21 presets, numbered 0 - 20. They are preprogrammed to demonstrate the
variety of the Altura’s capabilities. How they sound in your setup depends heavily on the synthesizer you
use. Remember that many synthesizers do not implement Portamento effects. With these synthesizers,
Function 5 - Portamento will have no effect. Check your synth’s documentation for details.
Presets 0 - 9 contain melodic lead setups, with no arpeggio defined. Presets 10 - 20 demonstrate the
arpeggio function. While a preset does store all parameters for both Theremin play and Arpeggio
play, we nonetheless suggest you designate your presets for one style of play or the other.
