Chapter 1
Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase
of
the Cyclone, the newest
of
Oberheim's
MIDI
Performance instrument line, Perf/x, The Perf/x line was created with the intention
of
supplying the
modem
musician with time and labor-saving devices that simplify the
ever
increasing complexity
of
today's music systems, while also providing all-new performance
and programming controls that allow your creativity to Oourish in areas you might
never
even have thought about.
The Cyclone integrates the concepts
of
cuveggiation, sequencing, and MIDI rhythm
driving all
in
one package.
It
combines traditional arpeggiation and sequencing capabilities
with entirely
new
performance techniques, programmability, and synchronization.
One
innovation is the ability to provide
independence
of
rh~'thm
and
pitch,
and
to
provide
interactive control
of
both from the keyboard. Its 16 ROM and 16 (expandable to 83)
RAM
Programs allow you to pre-program pitch and rhythm events that will play simultaneously
or
independently, dual keyboard ranges, doublings, transpositions, tempi,
MIDI
assignments and many
other
parameters.
The
arpeggiation section is without precedent, allowing for not one, but
two
independent
keyboard
ranges as well as recorded information. There are eight transposition stages
per
Program, each stage having it's
own
number
of
repeals, inversions,
or
progrmllmable
recursions. ]n addition to steady pulses you can program your aJveggiation rhythm.
Instead
of
single nole lines the arpeggios can
now
consist
of
chords as well.
The
possibilities for live performance arc endless as all parameters can be altered "on-the-Oy",
making the Cyclone the creative improvisor's
dream
come
true.
Add to these the ability to use your Cyclone as a master
I\HDI clock, fully capable
of
live
"human feel" tempo changes using the
Tap
Tempo
pedal.
That'sjust
one
of
the 9
modes
your 8 independently programmable pedals
cu'e
capable of.
This manual provides both an introductory tutorial and a complete reference to the
information for
use
once
you are familiar with the overall operation
of
the Cyclone.
We
hope that you enjoy this extraordinary instrument and recommend (as always) that you read
this manual in it's entirety.
Thank you for your investment in the State
of
the Art.
It
just
got
better.
