CHAPTER 2: FIRST SESSION
A TOUR OF THE MINIAK
In this session, we'll:
• Explore the MINIAK's top panel
• Define some key concepts
• Play some of the MINIAK's basic sounds (called Programs)
• Learn different ways to navigate the MINIAK's Programs
• Explore the built-in Sequences
• Capture and play back some phrases
• Explore the MINIAK's drum sounds and play some Rhythms
• Explore the MINIAK's Multi setting (where Programs, Sequences, Rhythms, and more all come
together in powerful, flexible combinations)
THE MINIAK'S TOP PANEL
VOLUME
The (VOLUME) knob on the far right-hand side of the MINIAK raises and lowers the volume. If you don't
hear anything as you play the MINIAK, check the (VOLUME) knob's setting.
REAL-TIME CONTROLLERS
The (MOD1) and (MOD2) wheels, (PITCH) wheel, and (X/Y/Z knobs), located on the left half of the MINIAK,
provide real-time control of the MINIAK's sounds.
PERFORMANCE BUTTONS
The [OCTAVE], [TAP TEMPO], [PHRASE ARP], [LATCH ARP], and [PATTERN PLAY] buttons switch
octaves, set the tempo, and execute other performance-related functions.
DISPLAY
Information relevant to the current operation is shown on the LCD.
PROGRAM & DATA CONTROLS
These are the MINIAK's most important controls – the DATA DIAL and the [PROGRAMS], [MULTI],
[SEQUENCES], [RHYTHMS] and [CONFIG] buttons. They control the MINIAK's primary modes of
operation. Turning the DATA DIAL cycles through options, and pushing it allows you to edit these options.
