The System Menu
The system menu is responsible for the overall or global settings of the POLYMORPH. Global
settings contain all parameters that concern the behaviour of the entire POLYMORPH. Also the
settings like the MIDI data filter or the synchronization of the instrument can be found here. These
global settings are not stored with the Setup information.
Master transposing: Menu page 1
If you find yourself in another edit menu, push [EXIT] twice. Push [EDIT] to get in the edit menu.
By using [PAGE<>] select page 5. The display shows:
Select Edit <5>
[Contrl] [System]
Push [F2] to reach the system edit menu. With [PAGE<>] select the shown menu on the display
page 1:
Edit System/MIDI
|1> M.Transp: +0
On this menu page you can transpose the overall pitch of the POLYMORPH in semitone steps by
two octaves up or down. The transposing effects all four parts of the POLYMORPH equally.
Master tuning: Menu page 2
On the second page of the system menu you can change the main tuning of the POLYMORPH.
This is important when the POLYMORPH is played together with other instruments that can only
be re-tuned with considerable time and effort:
Edit System/MIDI
<2> M.Tune: +0
Select the desired tuning.
Master channel: Menu page 3
The master channel page determines which MIDI channels the parts 1-4 can be played onto. Part
1 always receives on the master channel. The other parts are received on the following successive
MIDI channels. Four MIDI channels above the master channel there is an extra control MIDI
channel. With this channel the setup can be switched.
Edit System/MIDI
<3> M.Channel: 1
The functions of the single outputs: Menu page 4
The POLYMORPH has 4 single outputs. So it can send out 4 parts on separate outputs. Where FX2
is producing a stereo effect, then keeping the parts together would be preferable. The advantages
of the single outputs are sometimes less interesting than the stereo effect. Basically this is why the
POLYMORPH can be operated in three different basic routings:
