User manual KORG ER1

[. . . ] In order to enjoy long and trouble-free use, please read this manual carefully and use the instrument correctly. E 2 To ensure long, trouble-free operation, please read this manual carefully. Precautions Location Using the unit in the following locations can result in a malfunction. • In direct sunlight • Locations of extreme temperature or humidity • Excessively dusty or dirty locations • Locations of excessive vibration Power supply Please connect the designated AC adaptor to an AC outlet of the correct voltage. Do not connect it to an AC outlet of voltage other than that for which your unit is intended. Interference with other electrical devices This product contains a microcomputer. [. . . ] · PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER part x 4 · AUDIO IN part x 2 · HI-HAT part x 2 · Crash Cymbal part · Hand Clap part · ACCENT part The Audio In parts are valid only when a signal is being input to the audio input jacks. Although the sounds of the Close and Open hi-hat parts can be edited independently, they cannot be sounded simultaneously. Similarly, the sounds of the Crash Cymbal part and the Handclap part can be edited independently, but cannot be sounded simultaneously. If both are triggered in the same step, the Handclap part will sound. 24 ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ OSCILLATOR This specifies the oscillator waveform and pitch. Example : Mod Type= Pitch Mod Depth Pitch Mod Speed Part select key On Time Wave sine wave, triangle wave Select the basic waveform. A triangle wave is slightly brighter than a sine wave. Pitch 20 Hz. . . 12, 000 Hz Adjust the pitch. Rotating the knob toward the left will lower the pitch, and rotating it toward the right will raise the pitch. Mod Type (modulation type) (Saw Down) . . . Select the type of pitch modulation. This is effective when creating kick or tom sounds. (Envelope) Mod Depth (modulation depth) –100. . . 0. . . 100 Adjust the depth and direction of the pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings (right) and negative (–) settings (left) will invert the direction of the pitch modulation effect. When the knob is positioned in the center (0), the Modulation Type and Modulation Speed will have no effect. Mod Speed (modulation speed) 0. 1 Hz. . . 5, 000 Hz Adjust the speed of pitch modulation. Rotating the knob toward the right will speed up the pitch modulation, allowing you to apply cross-modulation effects. AMP These parameters control the volume and panning. Decay 0. . . 100 Adjust the speed at which the volume will decay. For Audio In parts, this will function as a gate time (duration of the sound) synchronized to the tempo. Pan L. . . R Set the stereo position (panpot) of the sound. When the knob is located in the center, the sound will be heard from the center. Rotating the knob toward the left will place the sound toward the left, and rotating the knob toward the right will place the sound toward the right. Left input Delay Delay Left output PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 2 Right input Right output The delay effect will apply to the entire rhythm pattern, and it is not possible to change the effect independently for each part. PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 Type Motion Seq, Tempo Delay AUDIO IN 1 Each time you press the key, the effect will alternate between Normal (LED dark), Motion Seq, and Tempo Delay. When Normal is selected, the effect will function as a conventional delay. Motion Seq (motion sequence) The motion sequence will control the delay (refer to p. 28 "Motion Sequence"). Tempo Delay The delay time will automatically be adjusted (synchronized) to the tempo of the pattern. If the MIDI Clock setting is "Ext, " the delay time can also be synchronized to the clock of an external device. (Refer to p. 38 "Synchronizing the ER1 to a master external MIDI device. ") AUDIO IN 2 Ring modulation can be applied only between the PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 and 2, or between the PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 and AUDIO IN 1 and 2. The effect may be difficult to notice if the level of one signal is too low, or if the decay time is too short. When the ring modulation effect is on, the level and pan settings of PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 or of AUDIO IN 1 and 2 parts will take priority. When ring modulation is on, no sound will be output unless both parts are played simultaneously. [. . . ] If you attempt to record additional events, the "memory full" message will appear immediately. Either use Clear Event to delete unwanted events from a song, or record blank data to clear the memory. Restoring the factory set data The pattern and song data with which the ER-1 is shipped from the factory is referred to as the "preloaded data, " and you can restore this preloaded data back into the memory of the ER-1. When you do this, the patterns you created and the songs which use these patterns will be erased, and replaced by the preloaded data. If you wish to keep the patterns and songs you created, you must save the data on a data filer etc. [. . . ]
