Kenton Spin Doctor - Manual (Page 8)

Getting Started
Switching on
Please connect the supplied power adapter to your Spin Doctor. Kenton can,
and will only warranty the operation of Spin Doctor with the supplied adapter
(exception is the Australian market). Usage of other power supplies may cause
damage to Spin Doctor, which will void your warranty. For replacement
adapters, please contact Kenton.
When you first power up the unit, the 4 x 7 segment LED display will scroll the
name
Spin Doctor, and then default to Pr 0 (Program 0). This program is pre-
loaded with a profile to control the MIDI volume (controller 7) on MIDI channels
1-16, assigned logically to knobs 1-16.
The best way to familiarise yourself with Spin Doctor is to experiment with some
of the pre-loaded factory profiles. Spin Doctor is pre-loaded with 6 useful profiles
to get you started. These are:
Program 0: Volumes on MIDI channels 1 – 16
Program 1: Pans on MIDI channels 1 – 16
Program 2: Controllers 1 – 16 all on the global MIDI channel (default = 1)
Program 3: Controllers 17 – 32 all on the global MIDI channel (default = 1)
Program 4: Controllers 33 – 48 all on the global MIDI channel (default = 1)
Program 5: Controllers 49 – 64 all on the global MIDI channel (default = 1)
Programs 6 to 24 are left blank for the user to program or load pre-programmed
profiles as required.
Use the DATA ENTRY knob to switch between the different memory locations.
As each one is called up, the name of the profile it contains will scroll across the
screen. If the location is blank, then just the program number will briefly be
shown, followed by a short blank screen and then again the program number
shown in the form
PrXX (where XX is the program number from 0-24).
If you are using a computer and a sequencer, load a song on the sequencer and
start it playing. Connect your Spin Doctor to your computer, and assign the MIDI
IN on your sequencer to come from the MIDI OUT of Spin Doctor (for example, if
you were using a Yamaha SW1000XG sound card as your MIDI Interface, then
you would set the MIDI IN for your software to come from SW1000 MIDI IN, and
you would have the MIDI OUT of Spin Doctor connected to the SW1000XG MIDI
IN port).
