Transposition is very useful with the Major and Minor scales in the Western Bank, which are tuned to C-major
and C-minor. With transposition you can set them to any key. For instance, if you want to play minor chords in
the key of E, you would go to the C-Minor scale bank (Blue group, Bank 2, Scale 1) and then transpose all six
channels up 4 semitones (4 blue lights). If you are tuning to another instrument or to something like A=432Hz,
you could use the Freq Nudge knobs to make fine-tuning adjustments.
You can transpose up to three odd channels or three even channels at the same time by holding down all their
Lock buttons while adjusting the odd or even Freq Nudge knob. You can transpose Locked channels, as well.
To clear transposition, you can either transpose the channel back to 0, or you can clear all transpositions by
holding down all six Lock buttons for two seconds. Any channel that's transposed will start flashing on its Lock
button. When you release the button, the transposition will be cleared back to 0. You can use this to “play”
transpositions live, by timing when you release each button. Also, if you transpose a channel a locked channel
and then clear all transpositions, its transposition will not be cleared until you unlock it. This is another way to
facilitate live performance.
Two Pass filtering: Resonance (Q)
New in v5 : As you turn up the RES (Q) knob or apply CV, the channels move from low resonance to high
resonance at about 12:00. After this point, as you continue turning up RES (Q), a second resonator is cross-
faded in, which is essentially like running two SMR modules in series. This second resonator greatly increases
the total resonance and helps filter out virtually all background sounds, only allowing the pure tones of the
resonant frequencies to pass. This is called a Two-pass resonator and only exists in version 5 and later. In
firmware v4 and earlier, the RES knob's range from 0 to 100% is the same as firmware v5's range from 0 to
50% (there is no second resonator in v4 and earlier).
When used with triggers into the audio inputs, Two-Pass resonance with a high Q (80%-100%) slows down the
attack and decay. You can use this to get different reverse/backwards effects and play with the envelope
timings by adjusting Q.
Note: If you want to emulate a particular sound found in the one-pass resonator of v4 firmware, you can do so
by halving the RES(Q) knob setting. So if in v4 the knob was at 80%, turn it to about 40% with v5's Two-Pass
resonator. If you prefer to use the classic SMR sound only, you can switch to the One-Pass filter mode in
System Settings (see page 21).
