User manual KORG ER1MKII

[. . . ] Thank you purchasing the Korg ELECTRIBE·RmkII ER-1mkII. In order to enjoy long and troublefree use, please read this manual carefully and use the instrument correctly. E 1 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 • Close to magnetic fields Power supply Please connect the designated AC adapter to an AC outlet of the correct voltage. Do not connect it to an AC outlet of voltage other than that for which your unit is intended. Interference with other electrical devices Radios and televisions placed nearby may experience reception interference. [. . . ] 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 ER1mkII to a master external MIDI device. ") PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 2 RING MOD (ring modulation) This type of modulation generates frequencies that are the sum and difference of the frequencies of two audio signals; it can produce sounds with rich, metallic-sounding overtones. Percussion Synth part 4 will apply ring modulation to Audio In parts 1 and 2. PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 AUDIO IN 1 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). AUDIO IN 2 You can use Ring Modulation only in the combination of PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 and AUDIO IN 1 and 2. The timbre and volume may vary depending on the timing at which PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 and AUDIO IN 1 and 2 are sounded. 25 4. Pattern mode ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ LEVEL 0. . . 100 TIME (delay time) 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. Rotating the knob toward the right will lengthen the delay time. Rotating the knob toward the left to shorten the delay time will produce a "doubling" effect (an impression as though multiple instruments are playing in unison). If the Type parameter is set to Tempo Delay, this parameter will let you set the tempo in terms of sixteen different multiples of the tempo: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1, 1. 33, 1. 5, 2, 2. 5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. If you change the delay time during playback, the pitch of the delayed sound will change. Depending on the tempo setting, it may be impossible to set the delay time. In such cases, set the delay time to half the desired value. DELAY Delay is an effect that adds one or more delayed "echoes" to the sound. The delay effect of the ER-1mkII is a "cross-feedback delay. " This feeds the delayed L and R signal back into the opposite side to produce a greater feeling of spaciousness from left to right. [. . . ] If you attempt to record additional events, the "memory full" message will appear immediately. Either use Clear Event to delete unwanted events from a song, or record blank data to clear the memory. Restoring the factory set data The pattern and song data with which the ER-1mkII is shipped from the factory is referred to as the "preloaded data, " and you can restore this preloaded data back into the memory of the ER-1mkII. When you do this, the patterns you created and the songs which use these patterns will be erased, and replaced by the preloaded data. If you wish to keep the patterns and songs you created, you must save the data on a data filer etc. [. . . ]
