Settings
General
• Clock Source: Sets the clock source for the Argon8 with the following available options:
Internal, MIDI, Sync-In, Auto. If ‘Auto’ is selected then the Argon8 will automatically use
any detected clock source (prioritising Sync-In over MIDI) else it will use the internal clock.
Please note that if ‘MIDI’ or ‘Sync-In’ is selected whilst there is no MIDI or Sync-In clock
present then clocked-synced functions (sequencer, arpeggiator, delay FX, LFOs) may not
work correctly or at all.
• Global Tune: Sets the global tuning of the Argon8 with a range of +/- 1 semitone. You
may need to adjust this if using the Argon8 with other synthesisers that are not tuned to
the standard tuning (e.g. old analogue synthesisers).
• Reset: Hold the ‘Edit’ switch to reset all global settings to the factory default settings.
Please note that this will also reset the Main Volume and Tempo parameter values.
MIDI
• Channel: Sets the MIDI channel that the Argon8 uses for both MIDI input (the MIDI-in
messages channel that the device will respond to) and MIDI output (the channel for the
transmitted MIDI messages).
• Omni: Enables the Argon8 to be configured to ‘Omni Mode’, where it will respond to
MIDI-in message on any MIDI channel.
• Pitch Bend Range: Sets the Argon8 pitch bend range - in semitones - for both MIDI-in
Pitch Bend messages and the joystick X axes.
• DIN In: A set of MIDI filter settings for enabling / disabling the Argon8 from responding
to certain types of MIDI-in messages from the MIDI DIN-in port.
• DIN Out: A set of MIDI filter settings for enabling / disabling the Argon8 from
transmitting certain types of MIDI-in messages from the MIDI DIN-out port.
• DIN Thru: Enables a ‘Soft MIDI Thru’ mode for the DIN ports, where messages received
by the DIN-in port are forwarded to the DIN-out port.
• USB Thru: Enables a ‘Soft MIDI Thru’ mode for all MIDI sources, where messages
received by the DIN-in port are forwarded to USB-out and messages received by USB-in
are forwarded to DIN-out.
• Arp/Seq Out: Enables the Argon8 arpeggiator and / or sequencer to transmit notes
to the MIDI-out ports. When arp out is enabled the internal keyboard notes will not be
transmitted to MIDI-out. Please note that MIDI-in notes that are being arpeggiated will
also be transmitted to MIDI-out if arp out is enabled, which may cause MIDI loop / echo
issues in complex MIDI setups.
Settings
Keyboard
• Local: Enables / disables the internal keyboard’s connection with the internal sound
engine. If you are using Argon8 with an external sequencer you may need to set the Local
setting to ‘Off’ to eliminate the double-triggering of notes caused by MIDI loops / echoes.
• Velocity Curve: Sets the velocity curve / sensitivity for notes from the internal keyboard.
There are six curve options - Very Light, Light, Normal, Heavy, Very Heavy, Fixed. Select
‘Light’ or ‘Very Light’ if you play keys lightly but would like the device to respond as
though they were played harder; select ‘Heavy’ or ‘Very Heavy’ if you play keys heavily
but would like the device to respond as though they were played lighter; or select ‘Fixed’
to have a constant velocity value of 127 (maximum velocity).
• Aftertouch Curve: Sets the aftertouch curve / sensitivity for the internal keyboard. There
are five curve options - Very Light, Light, Normal, Heavy, Very Heavy. Select ‘Light’ or
‘Very Light’ if you want more control over the upper range of values of the aftertouch
response; or select ‘Heavy’ or ‘Very Heavy’ if you want more control over the lower range
of values of the aftertouch response.
Sequencer
• Metronome: Enables / disables the metronome click track for sequence recording. Please
note that the sequencer pre-roll (if enabled) will always contain the metronome.
• Pre-Roll: Sets the sequence recording pre-roll length to determine how many bars of the
metronome click track you hear before the recording starts.
• Quantise: Sets the sequencer note recording input quantise value to ensure that played
notes can be kept in time. Please note that this is an input quantise setting and therefore
cannot be used to adjust previously recorded notes.
• Transport: Enables / disables the sequencer transport to be controlled by MIDI Clock
Start / Continue / Stop messages from USB-MIDI. You may want to disable this behaviour
if using Argon8 with an external MIDI sequencer.
