This parameter allows you to set the speed at which system-exclusive data (Momentum, Sound, Song
and All-Data Dumps) is sent from the Sirius. The factory setting should work with all common Se-
quencing programmes and MIDI-interfaces. Apart from this setting it is also possible the speed up the
TX of the data (position FAST) or to slow it down (position SLOW). To find the best TX speed it is ad-
visable to try out all three options. If the setting FAST works with your MIDI-interface there is nothing
against using it permanently - it will increase your work-speed enormously.
This parameter should only be changed by you when you have already had experience in
data-Dumping different data types. More information on the different Data-Dump-types and how to
transmit them you will find in the section "Data-Dumping" in the WRITE-menu section of this man-
ual.
This parameter is about the behaviour of the dial controls on the front panel of the Sirius. Just experi-
ment with the setting options of this parameter. These functions allow you to increase ease of opera-
tion of the Sirius and to customise it to your special requirements. In the factory setting OFF, the con-
trols on the front panel will behave as follows:
As soon as you turn a dial the value corresponding to the control setting is called up. The resultant
sound changes (for example when changing the Cutoff-frequency) can in some situations be un-
wanted. We have therefore provided the new Pot-Snap function to the Sirius. It is activated in its ON
setting.
Now the Pots will behave as in the following example: Let's assume the Cutoff-frequency of a sound
has the value 100. The Cutoff-control is however set to 20. Without Pot-Snap the cutoff frequency
would immediately take on the value 20 when you move the control. A clear jump would be audi-
ble. With the activated Pot-Snap you can however move the control without hearing a jump. Only
when you exceed the value 100 will the sound start to change. In order for you to know which value
is set for the currently selected sound and in which direction the dial must be turned in order to find
it is indicated in the display while turning the dial. For our example the display would look as fol-
lows:
In this example the display shows you that you will have to turn the control to the right and that you
will only hear a change in sound once you have passed a Cutoff-value of 100.
This parameter lets you decide if you want to have the parameter and the relevant value displayed or
not when you turn a dial. The factory setting for this function is switched to ON. The OFF setting dis-
ables this function.
