4.1 Using the A-190
On power up, the A-190 defaults to Performance
mode. This is the normal mode of operation, in which
the incoming MIDI information is converted to CV, gate
and clock signals, according to the A-190’s settings.
You can check you’re in performance mode by seeing
if all the menu LEDs (8) are off. The gate LED 7,
reset LED 6 and clock LED 5 will light up in response
to MIDI activity:
Since the A-190 gives you so many options for chan-
ging the way MIDI information is converted, it was
necessary to use a menu system for setting the va-
rious parameters. There are two groups of menus,
with six menus in each.
The performance menus are where you can change
important playing parameters such as bend width
and portamento time - the sort of parameters to which
you need easy and frequent access .
The Config menus, on the other hand, contain confi-
guration parameters, which are fundamentally impor-
tant to the whole MIDI set-up, but as a rule don’t need
to be changed often (for instance gate polarity, voltage
response, or re-trigger time).
To alter parameters, you need to be in edit mode. The
procedure is as follows:
• Select the menu group
• Switch to edit mode
• Select the menu which contains what you want to
edit
• Alter the parameters either manually or by MIDI
• Return to performance mode.
Selecting menu group
The A-190 is designed so that, after power up, the first
time you enter edit mode, you automatically go to the
performance menu group.
