Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the QUASIMIDI POLYMORPH. You can be sure that you
have acquired one of the most modern electronic music instruments with many innovative
features. By integrating the Morphing Sequencers with the expressive synthesizer engine, you have
the ability to easily create sounds which most other synthesizers would find difficult if not
impossible to copy.
The POLYMORPH is a sophisticated instrument with many complex features and facilities which
are described in full in this manual. To get started, we recommend you read the Basics section
first to familiarize yourself with the layout, controls and fundamentals of operation.
Basics
Conventions used in this manual
The POLYMORPH has numerous keys, which control various functions of the synthesizer. All of
the keys have fixed names which will be shown in square brackets in this manual. Whenever we
refer to a sequence of button pushes it will look something like this:
e.g.
Push [BUTTON 1] followed by [BUTTON 2]
In the manual we have simplified statements such as: Push the Start / stop button, with Push
[START/STOP]
To simply distinguish between pushbuttons and rotary knobs in this manual, we have used angled
brackets for the rotary knobs:
e.g.
Turn the <CONTROL KNOB> completely to the left
instead of EXAMPLE in the pointed brackets the button description will be shown.
Other logical abbreviations will also be used for simplicity and convenience.
e.g. Turn the <LOW PASS CUTOFF> completely to the left, rather than explicitly stating turn the
"knob labeled <CUTOFF> in the low-pass filter section..." etc.
For better orientation you will find the following little helpers in this manual:
