QUICK START GUIDE
Look for the companion demo video at http://zeppelindesignlabs.com/product/macchiato/ .
1. POWER UP Use a 9V DC power supply or a battery.
• 9V DC power supply (“wall wart”, strongly
recommended): Must be rated for 200mA minimum,
with center-negative polarity. Look for this graphic
on the power supply. Your synth won’t work with a
center-positive power supply. Simply plug the cable
into the back of your synth under the “9V” label.
• 9V battery: Use a high-quality alkaline battery, like Energizer. (Don’t waste your money on cheap
batteries!) Open your cabinet; insert the battery into its holder; snap the contacts into place; and
then push down to snap the battery into the holder.
2. PLUG IN A LISTENING DEVICE
Plug in headphones or powered desktop speakers into the
AUDIO OUT jack on the back of the synth; or run a cable to the LINE IN on your computer, or the
AUX IN on your stereo. In a pinch, you can monitor the synth with the little on-board speaker, but
this will gobble up batteries a lot faster and will not sound as good.
3. TURN ALL THE KNOBS TO THE LEFT except OCTAVE and CUTOFF. Turn these all the way to
the right.
4. TURN IT ON
Press the red power button on the back of the synth. If you built a cardboard case,
be careful how you squeeze your synth; you don’t want to crush the cabinet.
5. TURN IT UP Tap some keys while you slowly turn up the
VOLUME
Knob #9 at the far right.
CAUTION: ALWAYS TURN THE VOLUME DOWN BEFORE YOU PLUG IN HEADPHONES! The
signal may be louder than you expect and could hurt your ears or damage your headphones.
6. SHAPE YOUR SOUND
The first four controls on the left affect the basic sound of the synth:
• WAVE SHAPE
Turn to choose between Sine, Triangle, Saw and Square.
• OCTAVE
Turn to move up through four octaves, from high (4) to low (1) and back.
• ATTACK
Turn slowly while tapping the keys to increase the time it takes for a note to fade in.
• RELEASE
Turn slowly while tapping the keys to increase the time it takes for a note to fade out.
7. SHAPE YOUR FILTER The next four controls affect the LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATOR (LFO),
which affects the LOW PASS FILTER (LPF), which in turn applies all sorts of effects to your note.
• Turn
CUTOFF
left and right while playing. It acts like a tone control. Full left cuts off more of the high
frequencies for a soft, warm, muffled sound. Full right gives a bright, crisp sound. This effect is most
noticeable when playing a Square Wave, and least noticeable with a Sine wave.
