Using the rotary buttons 1-3 below the display select the desired Part according to
the trigger group. You will see the currently selected Part in the upper right. Please
note that the selection of a new sound will overwrite already prepared trigger-group
settings, as these are sound-parameters. We spared ourselves from saving the trigger
groups individually, as a recombination of trigger groups makes no sense. Many
defined trigger groups won’t be able to play in parallel mode due to the limited
amount of oscillators and filters. That’s why you should select a sound in the category
“Multi” for which sound creation is already separated into trigger groups. Accordingly
it is also not possible to save the sound settings of individual trigger groups separately.
A trigger group which has been selected in the display menu will of course be assigned
to the connected MIDI keyboard or can alternatively be played back via the MINI-
Keyboard of the Spectralis by using the Part-Play Function. Simply select a sound
from the category “Multi” in your sound selection. You can use that sound to familiarize
yourself with the selection and playing of the trigger groups. You should now be able
to play various sounds by selecting the trigger groups.
3.7.2 The definition of triggergroups
The definition of the trigger groups is rather simple. Select Part->
[Select]
and hold
down the numeric button
[12]
for a moment. This will prompt a display message for
the selection of trigger groups
1/4:S-6:<Song 06>PA05:WetSolo Pa12
[Part12] [Part12] [Part14] [current]
Using the
[Page-Up]
-button will get you to the menu for defining the trigger-groups:
2/4:Trigger-Group VCO:
VCO1:TG1 VCO2:TG1 VCO3:TG1 VCO4:TG1
The menu is largely self-explanatory. You can select the desired trigger group for
each VCO in this menu. The determination of the trigger group assigns the selected
element to the according Part:
Trigger group 1-> Part 12
Trigger group 2-> Part 13
Trigger group 3-> Part 14
On the next menu page you can assign the filter, the filter-bank and the noise-source
to a trigger group
3/4:Trigger-Group Filter, Noise
MM:TG1 LP:TG1 NSE:TG1 FB:TG1
In this case MM stands for the 12dB Multimode-filter, LP for the 24dB lowpass-
filter, NSW for the noise-source envelope and FB for the filterbank-sum-envelopes.
This of course leaves one more question: The Master-LFOs have envelopes for the
control of the modulation depth. Which of the trigger groups will trigger the Master
LFO-envelopes? To avoid complicating matters unnecessarily, the triggering of the
