7.1 Powering the unit
•
At power-on, the unit will show the following
message on its display:
SCHALTWERK VX.XX
DOEPFER(c)[date]
Vx.xx is a synonym. Here should appear the actual
software release version implemented.
In place of “[date]” you should read a date in the
format day/month/year, such as 210397 for the 21
st
of
March 1997.
•
At the same time, pattern 1 is loaded in the Edit-
Pattern buffer of the Schaltwerk hence the
illuminated LED belonging to pattern 1. All other
LED’s, functions and parameters are reflecting the
state in which pattern 1 was configured previously.
✝ Pattern 1 is the default pattern at power-on.
•
The respective step positions (at power-on, step 1
from all rows) will blink slowly. The running
indication is flashing faster at the current step
position when the sequencer is running.
7.2 Menu structure
•
The organization of the menu structure of the
Schaltwerk relates to the 16 buttons located
nearby the rotary encoder. Since the device is not
equipped with LED’s to indicate which functions
are activated, the corresponding parameters are
shown on the second line of the LCD display.
•
The editing of parameters applies to single or
multiple tracks. In order to edit the tracks, they
have to be activated through the 8 Select upper
buttons.
The confirmation of the selected tracks can be
checked on their related Select LED and by the
message in the upper row of the display.
Track >_2_____m<
- This means, for example, that track 2 is now
selected and its set of parameters is available for
editing.
When no select LED is lit, there is no track selected.
The display will then show:
Track >_______m<
No Trk. selected
•
In most menus, there are sets of related
parameters, known as parameter groups. These
can be accessed by pressing several times the
related menu button. Individual parameters are
accessed in rotation.
7.3 Menu overview
•
Here is a first glance at the various menus (a.k.a.
parameter groups) available.
✝ In forthcoming software releases, the various
menus may be expanded trough the addition of
related parameters.
•
The order of the buttons located nearby the
rotary encoder follows a numbering sequence:
from 1 (upper left) to 8 (upper right), and from 9
(lower left) to 16 (lower right).
The main menus of the parameter groups are:
•
See chapter 5 - Controls of the front panel, page
7, drawing, lower right, close to the rotary
encoder:
−
16 buttons for menu selection.
•
The buttons located in the first row (1-8) apply to
all currently selected tracks, to the exception of
buttons 1 & 2 (dec/inc).
−
(1) step left / decrement (one step to the left,
select a particular step, also required in most
menus)
−
(2) step right / increment (same as (1), but to the
right)
