V. Memory Mode: Save and load programs (Hold the Memory/Sync-Button)
When you press the Memory button on the left side, you will see an LED
animation that closes a circle from bottom to top. As soon as the circle is closed,
you have reached the memory mode. The Manual LED will now light purple. In
Memory mode, you can store and recall complete oscillator setups (oscillator
settings plus snapshots and animation settings). ->page 18
VI. Photo-Mode (Hold Mode/Shift-Button and tap the Sync-Button)
One of the most important activities in the modern synthesizer studio is the
creation of Selfies for the social networks. In order to display the Swarm
Oscillator in the best light, you have the possibility to choose the color of the
LEDs individually for a photo and to keep it permanently on. Hold down the
Mode-button and tap the Memory-button. Now you can select an LED with the
Big Knob and select the color with the Data/Value-knob. Pressing the Mode-
button again will exit this mode.
1.2.) General operating instructions
I.
Parameter value quantization
When setting parameters, you are likely to occasionally find a way to facilitate the
specific selection of certain parameter values. So it is not uncommon to have two
oscillators tuned to different octaves. At such moments, digital technology can
play out its advantages! Turning the Octave Tune knob while holding the Mode/
Shift-button will set the octaves on the knob without any intermediate steps. This
function also works with many other parameters. Tuning in exact half-tone steps
is just as easy as selecting the basic waveforms direct.
II. Parameter-Visualization A
When a parameter is set, the LEDs around the Big Knob are used to visualize
parameter values. Steps up and down are visualized with a "wander" of the LED
light. Since the LEDs around the Big Knob, besides this parameter visualization,
also represent other things - such as the status and selection of a snapshot
memory - they represent the value of a parameter only for a short moment during
editing. The display then returns to the previous display back.
II. Parameter-Visualization B
In some menus, the color or brightness of an LED is changed to indicate a status
change. As described above, snapshots are selected with the Big Knob in Edit
Snapshot mode. The eight LEDs represent the status of the snapshot slots during
the selection. Saved Snapshots appear in green color, muted snapshots in red,
empty snapshot memories without color, and the selected snapshot lightens the
LED color. The table shows the color representation of the LED circle.
