User manual KORG EM1

[. . . ] Thank you purchasing the Korg ELECTRIBE·M EM-1. In order to enjoy long and trouble-free use, please read this manual carefully and use the instrument correctly. E 1 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 where excessive vibration exists Power supply Please connect the designated AC adaptor to an AC outlet of the correct voltage. [. . . ] Each time you press the key, this will alternate between on (lit) and off (dark). When Delay Editing is on, this will be the delay motion sequence key. Reverb This simulates the reverberation and acoustics of a plate reverb unit. Edit 1 _ Time 0. . . 127 The reverb time will lengthen as the knob is rotated toward the right. Edit 2 _ Level 0. . . 127 The level of the reverberation will increase as the knob is rotated toward the right. 4. Pattern mode Decimator This effect lowers the sampling frequency and the number of sampling bits, producing a grainy sound characteristic of cheap samplers. Edit 1 _ Sampling frequency 0. . . 127 Rotating the knob toward the right produces a more lo-fi sound, and rotating it toward the left produces a more hifi sound. Edit 2 _ Number of sampling bits 0. . . 127 Rotating the knob toward the right will produce a sound typical of fewer bits (lo-fi), and rotating it toward the left will produce a sound typical of more bits (hi-fi). If the input volume is extremely low, there may be no output. If there is a high noise level during silent times, noise may be generated. Resonator This adds a specific frequency region to the original waveform that has been boosted by a band pass filter. Edit 1 _ Cutoff frequency 0. . . 127 This adjusts the cutoff frequency of the band pass filter. The cutoff frequency will rise as you turn the knob toward the right. Edit 2 _ Resonance 0. . . 127 This boosts the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding a distinctive character to the sound. The resonance will increase as you turn the knob toward the right. Depending on the cutoff frequency or input sound, high resonance settings may cause the sound to distort. Filter This is a low pass filter with resonance. It cuts the overtones that are above the cutoff frequency, producing a milder tone. Edit 1 _ Cutoff Frequency 0. . . 127 Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter. The cutoff frequency will rise as the knob is rotated toward the right. Edit 2 _ Resonance 0. . . 127 This emphasizes the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding a distinctive character to the sound. Depending on the cutoff frequency or input sound, high resonance settings may cause the sound to distort. Mod. Delay (modulation delay) This is a delay with an added chorus effect produced by using an LFO to sweep the delay time. It produces an effect in which the sound is spread to left and right. This delay is a tempo delay in which the delay time is automatically synchronized to the tempo of the pattern. Edit 1 _ Time 0. . . 127 This sets the delay time. [. . . ] While simultaneously pressing the Transpose 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. This will require apporoximately 30 seconds. [. . . ]
