Editing Parameters
In order to edit a sound, you must access the appropriate
parameters. In spite of the Rocket’s compactness it uses a
sophisticated user interface allowing fast editing of any
parameter.
Turning a dial clockwise increases the corresponding
value; turning it counterclockwise decreases it. Unbe-
lievable! Switching a switch does exactly switch this
switch. Keep in mind, that some switches offers more
than two states.
The Launch Button

keyboard is connected.

The Launch button memorizes the last note recei-

until a new MIDI note arrives.
Incoming MIDI data is indicated by blinking of the
Launch LED.
