5. The Main Display
Assimil8or’s main display provides an
overview of the currently selected preset,
along with some basic indication of what’s
happening in the module. Additionally, there
are dedicated displays for loading and saving
presets, programing channel parameters, and
executing utility functions.
In this chapter, we’ll describe the main
display. The rest will be described in their
own chapters.
IMPORTANT:
OLED displays (which is
what the Assimil8or display is) have long
lifetimes under normal use, but if you leave
your system on 24/7 (or just want to ensure
the longest possible life for your display),
Assimil8or provides the ability to adjust the
brightness of the display (which is also useful
for optimizing it for the ambient lighting level
of your work environment) and, optionally,
to set a time after which the display enters a
screensaver mode. Both of these can help
extend the life of your display. They are set in
the Utilities menu. Details for setting them will
be found in
Chapter 21.
The main display provides the following:
The Number and Name of the Currently
Selected Preset
8 Channel Status Displays
For each channel, there is a display of:
>
The channel number (if a sample or zones
are assigned to that channel).
If the number is black on a bright red
background, that channel contains a
sample and is selected for editing.
If the number is black on a dimmer red
background, that channel’s sample is
loaded, but not selected for editing.
If instead of a number, there is a red dot
in the number field and a sample name
in the sample field, there is a sample
assigned to that channel, but it has not yet
finished loading into memory.
If there is a red dot in the number field and
no sample name in the sample field, there
is no sample assigned to that channel.
If there is a red dot in the number field
with a bright red frame around it, that
channel is selected, but there is no sample
assigned to the channel.
>
3 tiny CV indicators that show the CV level
at that channel’s
CV A, CV B,
and
CV C
inputs.
NOTE:
The channel may have
additional CVs modulating parameters
beyond those three.
>
The name of the sample assigned to that
channel or, if zones are assigned, the
name of the sample in
Zone 1.
NOTE:
The sample name display is
limited to 6 letters. If the sample name
is longer than that, the remaining letters
are not displayed here. For that reason, it’s
usually a good idea to name your samples
such that the first 6 letters are descriptive
enough for you to recognize the sample
from them.
Left and Right VU Meters
These display an indication of the left and
right channel levels at the
MIX
output.
