User’s Manual

Thank you for purchasing an Encore Electronics product. This manual
depicts images of the Knobby®, but it applies exactly the same to the
Slidemate®. The two products are functionally and electrically
equivalent with the exception of the control style (knobs versus sliders)
This manual will cover installing and launching the software, learning
about various file types, and the stuff you want to know to get up and
running fast. It is not a repeat of the online help. Please read that when
you get a chance. What we thought would be appropriate for a user’s
manual is to end it with several examples for setting up various
instrument profiles.
You should have received these items in the Knobby package:
1 – Knobby
1 – Power supply (9volts AC)
1 – Floppy disk
1 – User’s Manual
Depending on your specific equipment, there are many, many ways to
connect the Knobby to your system. If
you plan on using the Knobby with
software synthesizers only, this would be
a typical connection. (

)
Using a pair of MIDI cables, connect the
Knobby to your computer’s MIDI ports.
Also connect the power supply to the
Knobby and plug it in the wall. The
power supply is not shown in the
following diagrams.
