ADJUSTING
PARAMETERS
Each of the 16 tracks features three pages of parameters. These parameters
affect the sound of the machine assigned to the track.
1. Make sure
GRID RECORDING MODE
is deactivated (
c
) . If activated, press
the
[REC]
key (
d
) to deactivate.
2. Select the first track by turning the
SOUND SELECTION WHEEL
(
i
) .
3. Press the
[TRACK PARAMETER PAGE]
key (
g
) until the
SYNTHESIS
PAGE
(
a
) becomes active. This page may look a bit different depending on
the type of machine assigned to the track.
4. The
DATA ENTRY KNOBS
(
f
) affect the parameters seen on the lcd
screen. Press the first
[TRIG]
key (
h
) —which will trigger the sound of the
selected track—repeatedly while turning the
DATA ENTRY KNOBS
to hear
how the parameters affect the sound.
Press a
DATA ENTRY KNOB
while turning it to increase the speed of the
parameter value change.
PARAMETER
LOCKS
Parameter locks are one of the secret weapons of the Machinedrum. They
allow parameter changes per note trig.
1. Make sure
GRID RECORDING MODE
is activated. If deactivated, press the
[RECORD]
key to activate it.
2. Use the
SOUND SELECTION WHEEL
to select track 1. Press the
[TRACK
PARAMETER PAGE]
key until the
EFFECTS
page (
b
) becomes active.
3. Press and hold a
[TRIG]
key containing a note trig. While holding the
[TRIG]
key, turn
DATA ENTRY KNOB E
to change the
FLTF
parameter. This
will alter the frequency of the filter, filtering out more low frequencies the
more you turn the knob. Note how the parameter graphics become inverted.
That indicates the parameter has been locked to the selected value.
4. Release the
[TRIG]
key. The led above the note trig is now flashing,
indicating the note trig now contains a parameter lock.
5. Press
[PLAY]
(
e
) to start the sequencer and hear what the locked note
sounds like.
All parameters found in the
TRACK PARAMETER
pages can be
locked.
