EDITING & WRITING PROGRAMS
Editing Programs is easy on the Supernova II Rack as virtually all the controls needed to create a sound are on the front panel.
First make sure that Supernova II Rack is in the Program mode. The Program button should be lit. Now it is just a case of adjusting
the knobs & buttons in the Oscillator, Filter, LFOs, Envelopes, Arpeggiator & Effects Sections until the desired sound is created.
Notice that the display changes to display the name of the rotary control you are currently editing. The display will remain display-
ing this parameter after you stopped adjusting the rotary control ( unless currently in a “Menu” ). The display shows the first rotary
to be adjusted, of course many rotary controls can be adjusted at once but the display only shows the last.
Writing Programs is a destructive operation. It is strongly advised to make back-ups of your data occasionally to a Computer,
Sequencer or Data filing device. Factory sounds in Program banks A,B,C & D can be recalled from ROM see page 46 for details
on how to do this.
Once a sound has been created it may be stored in any of the 8 banks of 128 Programs. To do so press the Write button. The dis-
play shows:
The top line of the display shows the current Program location & the Programs destination. The bottom line displays the Programs
name, in this case Sintillator M-Wh.
While in this mode it is possible to change the destination of the new sound using the bank & the keypad buttons or the upper Data
knob. For example, pressing the Bank button in the above example, the display will show:
Bank B has now been selected. A further 2 digit entry is required to determine the location of the sound within this Bank if different
from the current selection. Press 120 & 3 on the keypad & the display shows:
The destination of the sound to be written is now B Bank number 123.
While in this mode the Compare button has a different function to its normal operation. The Compare button in this mode toggles
between the currently edited sound & the destination Program. The “Program” button will flash when this function is active.
Once the destination for the Program has been decided press the Write button again & the display shows:
The name of the Program can be altered when in this mode. In the display the first character of the Programs name has a cursor
under it. Using the higher Data knob you can scroll through the character set for that character. Using the lower Data knob you can
move the cursor horizontally.
