Setting the MIDI-channel
- In order to set the needed MIDI channel on the
MAD-5
- a
MODE
button is used
which is located on the front panel just under the
POWER
switch. The 1
st
MIDI
channel is set by default. In order to change the MIDI
channel, you have to hold
the
MODE
button while switching the
POWER
on;
- Indicator
SET
should start to blink;
- From your MIDI device/DAW/Sequencer by which you want to control
MAD-5
,
you have to send a midi message from a channel that you have assigned (for
example choose channel 2 on your device and press any key on your keyboard).
From there on the
SET
indicator will stop blinking meaning that the desired MIDI
channel has been set. It will be saved in the memory of
MAD-5
.
Powering on
Set the
POWER
switch to
On
. From that moment on
MAD-5
is ready for action
Overview of controls
MAD-5
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,
RESO
–
resonance control, which in some positions of the knobs allows to
control the decay of the
BD
.
Note!
When the
TUNE
knob positions is set somewhere from 4 until 8 and the
RESO
knob is turned up, the
BD
starts to self-oscillate.
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
TUNE
control allows to adjust the pitch tone,
DECAY
–
adjusts the desired decay of the open hat.
In the
CH
section
the
TUNE
control allows to adjust the pitch tone,
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
