From there on the
MIDI
indicator will stop blinking meaning that the desired MIDI
channel has been set. It will be saved in the memory of
MAD-5 mk2
.
Powering MAD-5 mk2
Set the
POWER
button located on the rear to
On
. From that moment on
MAD-5
mk2
is ready for action
Overview of controls
MAD-5 mk2
structure consists of five analog drum instruments sections.
Each of the drum instrument has a volume control (
LEVEL
).
In the
BD
section,
the
TUNE
control allows to adjust the pitch tone of the bass
drum,
DECAY
–
decay control.
The
WAVE
control adjusts the form of the
BD
wave – from a sine wave form (left
position of the knob) to a square form (right position of the knob). Thus, the
WAVE
control allows for quite a flexible sculpting of the
BD
tone.
In the
SD
section the
TUNE
control allows to adjust the pitch tone of the snare
drum,
DECAY
– to adjust the desired decay,
SWEEP –
frequency shift (the effect
applies in small proportions, maximum effect peak can be heard when the
positions of the
SWEEP
and
TUNE
knobs are turned fully clockwise).
The
NOISE
control adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency of the
NOISE
generator.
In the
OH
section
the
FILTER
control allows to adjust the cutoff filter,
DECAY
–
adjusts the desired decay of the open hat.
In the
CH
section
the
FILTER
control allows to adjust the cutoff filter,
DECAY
–
adjusts the desired decay of the close hat.
In the
CL
section the
TUNE
control allows to adjust the pitch tone,
SPACE
– the
attack time of the clap.
NOISE
control adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency of the
NOISE generator.
DECAY
control – the desired decay of the clap and
MIX
control –
the balance between the NOISE generator and a clap.
Note: At high volume settings, the OH and CH can be slightly heard (if pressed or
programmed) in the
MIX OUT
even with their volume levels at 0, this is due to the
80s type of schematics used which cannot be eliminated, in order to overcome
this we suggest to use the
INDIVIDUAL OUTS
.
