The MINI-SEQUENCER is described separately on a following page.
So are the VOICE MODULES; the controls of each module are iden-
tical to those of the other, the only difference between them
being in the way they are controlled by the keyboard and
sequencer modules.
The OUTPUT MIXER consists of only three rotary pots and two
phone jacks. The Jack connections are shown in the diagram, and
the pots are:
6: the OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROL for voice module one,
7: the OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROL for voice module two, and
8: the MASTER OUTPUT CONTROL for the synthesizer.
SETTING THE STAGE
Before connecting your Oberheim synthesizer to headphones or to
an amplifier, be sure that the master output control is fully
off
(counterclockwise).
After making the external connection to headphones or ampli-
fier, you may turn the synthesizer on. Locate the ASSIGNMENTS
switches in the minisequencer section, and be sure that they
are all
down
.
In each voice module, set the controls to the positions shown
on the following page by the asterisks; where there is no
asterisk use the position in the photograph itself.
You may now turn, if you want to, directly to the section
called "FIRST STEPS" and begin to explore the synthesizer. But
it would probably be better to spend just a few minutes reading
through the descriptions of the minisequencer and the voice
modules first.
On the other hand, it would be a mistake to try to memorize in
detail everything in the descriptions following; they contain
some important facts--usually in italics--and some less impor-
tant but still useful information. Some of this will become
familiar to you simply from habit as you work with the synthe-
sizer.
