Repeatedly press KEY 0 until the display shows P P (Potent-
iometer Persistence). To increase the display time of the adjust-
ed value, turn the PORTA/DATA knob clockwise, to reduce the
time, turn anticlockwise. A setting of 0 0 will inhibit the display
from showing parameter values when knobs are adjusted.
Velocity Curve
The response to MIDI velocity information from an external
device such as a MIDI controller keyboard or a sequencer may
be set using this option. Press the MODE SELECT button until
the UTILITY LED is lit. Repeatedly press KEY 0 until the display
shows u C (Velocity Curve)and an alternating value.
A setting of S t (Soft) indicates that smaller changes in velocity
, a lighter playing style, is required to create a large change in
response to velocity, be it volume or any other parameter that
velocity routed to. A setting of H d (Hard) indicates that higher
changes in velocity - a much harder playing style, is required to
create large changes in response to velocity.
Operation of the Display Menus
The display menus (including this one) can operate in two dif-
ferent modes. The first mode (factory default setting) specifies
that each time a new menu key is pressed, the first item in the
menu list is always selected. For example pressing KEY 2 -
Reverb, after KEY 3 Chorus, will result in always selecting
Reverb level. The second mode specifies that the last used
item in the menu list for a KEY is selected. For example, if
Reverb Decay is being adjusted - KEY 2, and the Chorus but-
ton is pressed - KEY 3, a subsequent press of KEY 2 will
result in Reverb Decay being the menu item selected.
Press the MODE SELECT button until the UTILITY LED is lit.
Repeatedly press KEY 0 until the display shows i d (Initial
Display) and an alternating value. Adjust the PORTA/DATA
knob. The display will switch from o F (first mode) to o n
(second mode).
Using the External Audio Input
In order to use an external audio input, the A-Station must be
set up to correctly to respond to the level (amplitude) of the
incoming signal. Since the levels of these signals can vary sub-
stantially, the Global menu option, Input Sensitivity and Input
Trim must be adjusted for optimum performance.This will mini-
mize distortion and noise.
Adjusting the Input Sensitivity of the External Audio In
Connect the input device to the rear panel jack labeled INPUT.
Repeatedly press the MODE SELECT button until the UTILITY
LED is lit. Repeatedly press KEY 0 until the display shows i S
(Input sensitivity) and an alternating value. When connecting
devices such as CD’s Turntables, Mixing desks or other line
level equipment, set the sensitivity to L o. Set to H I for devices
such as Guitars or Microphones.
