User manual KORG ER1

[. . . ] Thank you purchasing the Korg ELECTRIBE·R ER-1. In order to enjoy long and trouble-free use, please read this manual carefully and use the instrument correctly. E 2 To ensure long, trouble-free operation, please read this manual carefully. Precautions Location Using the unit in the following locations can result in a malfunction. • In direct sunlight • Locations of extreme temperature or humidity • Excessively dusty or dirty locations • Locations of excessive vibration Power supply Please connect the designated AC adaptor to an AC outlet of the correct voltage. [. . . ] Rotating the knob toward the left will place the sound toward the left, and rotating the knob toward the right will place the sound toward the right. Left input Delay Delay Left output PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 2 Right input Right output The delay effect will apply to the entire rhythm pattern, and it is not possible to change the effect independently for each part. PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 Type Motion Seq, Tempo Delay AUDIO IN 1 Each time you press the key, the effect will alternate between Normal (LED dark), Motion Seq, and Tempo Delay. When Normal is selected, the effect will function as a conventional delay. Motion Seq (motion sequence) The motion sequence will control the delay (refer to p. 28 "Motion Sequence"). Tempo Delay The delay time will automatically be adjusted (synchronized) to the tempo of the pattern. If the MIDI Clock setting is "Ext, " the delay time can also be synchronized to the clock of an external device. (Refer to p. 38 "Synchronizing the ER1 to a master external MIDI device. ") AUDIO IN 2 Ring modulation can be applied only between the PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 and 2, or between the PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 and AUDIO IN 1 and 2. The effect may be difficult to notice if the level of one signal is too low, or if the decay time is too short. When the ring modulation effect is on, the level and pan settings of PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 or of AUDIO IN 1 and 2 parts will take priority. When ring modulation is on, no sound will be output unless both parts are played simultaneously. Depending on the settings of both parts, very loud sounds may be output. Please adjust the level of each part appropriately. The tone and volume of Ring Modulation may vary depending on the timing at which Percussion Synthesizer 1 and 2 are sounded. Depth 0. . . 100 Adjust the level of the delay sound and the amount of feedback (the number of delay repeats). Rotating the knob toward the right will increase the level of the delay sound, and will also increase the amount of feedback. The further left or right the Pan of each part is set, the more the sound will be spread to left and right. Raising the Depth excessively may cause the sound to distort (clip). 25 4. Pattern mode ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Time (delay time) Level 0. . . 100 Adjust the output level. Rotating the knob toward the right will increase the volume. For the Accent part, this will adjust the Accent Level (the degree to which the volume will be emphasized when Accent is on). (Refer to p. 27 "Adding accents to a rhythm pattern. ") 4. Pattern mode 5 msec . . . 2 sec (for tempo delay) 1/4. . . 8 Low Boost 0. . . 100 This emphasizes the low-frequency range of each part. If you notice distortion (clipping) in the sound, adjust this parameter. Setting this parameter to the maximum (far right) allows it to function as a distortion effect. Depending on the settings of Level and other parameters, raising the Low Boost may damage your speakers or headphones etc. , so please use appropriate caution. Specify the delay time. [. . . ] If you wish to keep the patterns and songs you created, you must save the data on a data filer etc. While simultaneously pressing the Solo key and the Write key, turn on the power. The display will indicate "PLd, " and the Play/Pause key will blink. To load the factory preloaded data, press the blinking Play/ Pause key. [. . . ]
