6.13 Config

This section is used to set some of the machine configurations. These configurations will
affect any newly loaded Project and they will not be saved with it.

FADER

Sets the behavior of the faders. JUMP (default) or PICK UP. With JUMP mode the value of
the current parameter will change to the fader position instantly. With PICK UP mode the
changes are not applied until the fader reaches the parameter value.

POT

Same as before but with the potentiometers. The default is PICK UP mode.

SELFTUNE 1 and 2

It is used to tune the VCOs. They should be in tune, but if the user feels that they have lost
tune with time or different power supplies or cases the operation should be performed.

FINE DETENT

Used to calibrate the position of the faders and potentiometers. This procedure is made at
the factory.

TUNE CV IN

Used to calibrate the CV inputs. This procedure is made at the factory.

RESET ACCENT

Sets the ACCENTS of all the PROJECT to the default values. (TYPE: MIX 1 & 2,
HEADROOM: 15)

RESET CV ASSIGN

Sets the CV INPUTS of all the PROJECT to the default values.

SET BANK SYNC TO ON

Sets all the VCO SYNC to ON on the current BANK.
