2.3.10 Formatting Media (internal Flash and Smart-Media Cards)
In case something goes wrong after all or when using a Smart Media Card for the
first time it will be necessary to format the media. The formatting should have to be
done in the Spectralis. Formatting via your computer systems is possible as well.
To start formatting use the
[Shift]
-button and hold it down while simultaneously
pushing the
[Browse
]-button. All 3 of the media in the Spectralis will now show up
in the 2x40 character display of the Spectralis. When pushing any of the encoders
assigned to one of the drives showing in the display, drive information will be displayed.
Using the
[Page-Up]
- and
[Page-Down]
-buttons you can browse the selected
medium.To begin formatting use the
[Record]
-button, after selection of the desired
medium. You will need to confirm your intent to format by pushing the
[Enter]
-
button.
Use the
[Exit]
-button to leave the browse menu.
Once you’re done formatting you might be looking at an empty display
window. Don’t panic! As soon as you push one of the select buttons on the
Spectralis text will appear once again in the Display.
2.3.11 Power connection
The Spectralis has a power connection on the back of the instrument, right next to
the power switch. Please use the enclosed power-cord to connect your Spectralis
with a wall socket or power strip. The Spectralis has an internal switching AC-
Transformer which can be operated from 100 to 240 Volts and at 50 and 60 Hz.
This means the Spectralis will work just fine in other countries which may have
different voltage than yours.
You should unplug the power-cord if you’re not using the Spectralis for any exten-
ded period of time.
Smart Media Cards
:
Smart Media Cards are
compact storage media
with storage capacity of
anywhere from 1MB to
128 MB. The Spectralis
supports Smart Media
Cards with a voltage
of 3.3 Volts and storage
capacity of 4-128 MB.
However - nowadays
Smartmedia Cards are
becoming more and
more obsolete.
Please contact
sales@raditec.de. We
have an alternative
storage solution for
Spectralis Users with a
smartmedia/xD Card
conversion adapter and
a 128 MB xD-Card.
2.4 Explanations of basic terms
To make this manual easy to understand we would like to explain a few frequently
used terms, which are of significance with the Spectralis..
2.4.1 Sound
:
A Sound-Program of the Hybrid Synthesizer or a sample-based Sound of the
DSP-Synth.
2.4.2 Part
:
A part is a track in the sequencer, played by a particular instrument. Each part of
the Spectralis has its own sound parameters and a special set channel on the
internal mixer of the Spectralis. Due to the pre-assignment of various part categories
it becomes easy to create new patterns simply by swapping motifs. You will find
the following parts in the Spectralis: Kick, Snare, Closed HiHat, Open HiHat,
Clap, HiTom, MidTom and LoTom, three Percussion-parts, the Analog Synth-
part plus three additional polyphonic DSP Synthesizer parts.
