1.3 Start Up
Synth is a low power user and can therefore be powered from the supplied
mains USB adapter or from a rechargeable battery power bank. When
restarting Synth the previously open scene will be be re-opened
▌ POWERING ON / OFF SYNTH
1. Connect the supplied USB-C Mains cable between Synth and the
supplied USB plug. Also Synth can operate with a portable USB power
bank*. Synth requires a 5V, 1A rated supply.
2. Ensure the SD Card is installed correctly for Synth to operate.
3. Quickly press the small power button located on the rear left (looking
from the top). Synth will start up and the previous scene reopened.
4. To power off, press and hold the small power button located on the rear
left (looking from the top) until the ‘Powering Down’ message appears
and the timer bar ends. Synth will power off.
Supply is 5V, 1A from the supplied mains to USB adapter.
Alternatively use a battery power bank.
Start up instantaneous current is approx 1.2A with normal state around 0.5A
* It is recommended by Polyend to use a standard power bank without smart
features. Intelligent / smart power banks or PC / Mac power may have features
that interfere with the continuous supply required by Synth. A USC - C to USB - B
cable is supplied.
