User manual KORG ER1MKII

[. . . ] In order to enjoy long and troublefree use, please read this manual carefully and use the instrument correctly. E 1 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 • Close to magnetic fields Power supply Please connect the designated AC adapter 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 Radios and televisions placed nearby may experience reception interference. Operate this unit at a suitable distance from radios and televisions. Handling To avoid breakage, do not apply excessive force to the switches or controls. Care If the exterior becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. [. . . ] 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. Delay Delay Right input Right output If Cross Modulation is on, PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 2 will not sound by itself. You can use Cross Modulation only in the combination of PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 and 2. The timbre and volume may vary depending on the timing at which PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 and 2 are sounded. PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 The delay effect will apply to the entire rhythm pattern, and it is not possible to change the effect independently for each part. TYPE MOTION SEQ, TEMPO DELAY 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 ER1mkII to a master external MIDI device. ") PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 2 RING MOD (ring modulation) This type of modulation generates frequencies that are the sum and difference of the frequencies of two audio signals; it can produce sounds with rich, metallic-sounding overtones. Percussion Synth part 4 will apply ring modulation to Audio In parts 1 and 2. PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 AUDIO IN 1 DEPTH 0. . . 100 Adjust the level of the delay sound and the amount of feedback (the number of delay repeats). Rotating the knob toward the right will increase the level of the delay sound, and will also increase the amount of feedback. The further left or right the Pan of each part is set, the more the sound will be spread to left and right. Raising the Depth excessively may cause the sound to distort (clip). AUDIO IN 2 You can use Ring Modulation only in the combination of PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 and AUDIO IN 1 and 2. The timbre and volume may vary depending on the timing at which PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 and AUDIO IN 1 and 2 are sounded. 25 4. Pattern mode ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ LEVEL 0. . . 100 TIME (delay time) Adjust the output level. For the Accent part, this will adjust the Accent Level (the degree to which the volume will be emphasized when Accent is on). [. . . ] Use the Clear Event operation to erase unwanted events from the song (p. 37). Protect was turned "on" for the memory into which you attempted to write data. 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-1mkII 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-1mkII.
