Kenton 4-Voice Oberheim - Manual

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIDI INTERFACE
OBERHEIM 4 VOICE SYNTHESISER
USING THE MIDI INTERFACE - - -
When you turn on the synthesiser for the first time, you will be in
omni-on mode for receive (all channels) -
See next page for factory default settings
When you select a receive channel, this will be stored in memory and
will be remembered for when you subsequently turn on the synth - all
parameters listed on the next page are stored.
If you want to put the machine back to the factory default settings
at any time, switch the synth on whilst holding the red push button
pressed - hold for a couple of seconds then release.
RED PUSH BUTTON
Two modes are available by pushing the red push button. Before you
press the red button however, make sure that no notes are pressed on
the synth otherwise the results may be unpredictable.
1) SET-UP MODE - Setting MIDI channels and assignments.
Give the red push button a short press (half a second) - then release.
Follow this with a note or sequence of notes (on the remote keyboard)
as detailed on page 2. After selecting a channel you will be
automatically returned to playing mode but after making assignments
you will need to press the ENTER key (Top C) to return to playing mode.
This is to enable you to make the multiple key presses required when
re-assigning sources to destinations.
(N.B. set-ups are stored in non volatile memory).
2) TRANSPOSE MODE -
Press and hold the red push button for four seconds - then release.
Middle C will sound on the synth and continue to sound until you
press a key (on the remote keyboard). The note that you press will
become the new middle C for MIDI IN. You can set any value up to two
octaves up or down. Settings outside this range will be ignored.
Note that transpose mode cannot be entered from set-up mode.
ASSIGNING MIDI CONTROL SOURCES TO DESTINATIONS - - -
SOURCES DESTINATIONS (d)=factory default
AFTERTOUCH off / modulation (d)/ p.bend / vcf / ***
CONTROLLER X off / vcf (d)/ *** (*** = not used on this synth)
CONTROLLER Y off / vcf / *** (d)
VELOCITY off (d) / vcf
Sources can control more than one destination at once, but a
destination can only be controlled by one source at a time. Thus if
velocity is currently controlling VCF and then you switch aftertouch
to VCF, velocity will then control nothing until re-assigned.
