QUICK START
"
This guide should help you get started as quickly as possible. It covers basic entry of
PATTERN data into a single track and then constructing a simple SONG.
CONNECTIONS
Before using Engine, you will need to connect the machine to power and a sound source
to be controlled using MIDI, USB-MIDI or optionally CV/Gate. For this exercise we will
use only the MIDI output.
CONNECTING MIDI
Engine has a MIDI input and two MIDI output ports.
The MIDI input port can be used for syncing Engine to other devices, or it can be used to
connect a MIDI controller for realtime recording into patterns.
The MIDI output ports are used to send programmed MIDI events to other devices, in
order to generate sound. MIDI clock can also be sent to synchronize other devices to
Engine.
To begin, we recommend starting with one MIDI device such as a synthesizer that can be
used as a sound source for programmed patterns. Connect MIDI output 1 from Engine to
the MIDI input of the synthesizer.
CONNECTING AUDIO
Connect audio cables before turning on audio amplifiers.
Connect the audio output of the MIDI device to a mixer or other audio input. A
headphone output can be used for private listening.
This will allow us to hear the results of our sequencing.
CONNECTING POWER
Use the included 9V power supply to power Engine. The power supply is world voltage
compatible, you must choose the correct plug attachment for your region and attach it to
the power supply.
Once the power supply is connected, push the power switch to turn Engine on. You
should see the LEDs light in sequence as Engine boots.
