8. Grounding Screw
Use this screw to ground the unit. To do so, loosen the screw and
attach a grounding wire.
Do not use the unit if the screw is removed.
Depending on how the unit is connected to other devices, you may
feel a slight electrical stimulation if a soft part of your skin touches
a connected microphone or the metal part of the unit.
This is caused by a very weak current that is harmless to humans.
If this bothers you, use this grounding screw to ground the unit
externally.
Turning the power on
Before you turn on the monotribe, you must turn off the power of
your powered monitors or any other external output system.
1.
Turn the monotribe's LEVEL knob (p.11) and RHYTHM knob (p.15)
all the way to the left.
2.
Press the monotribe's power switch (p.8) to turn the power on.
The step LEDs (p.15) will indicate the remaining amount of bat-
tery power.
3.
Lower the volume controls of your powered monitors or external
output system, and then turn their power on.
4.
Turn the monotribe's LEVEL knob and RHYTHM knob clockwise
to an appropriate level.
5.
Adjust the volume of your external output system.
Turning the power off
1.
Lower the volume of your powered monitors or external output
system, and turn their power off.
2.
Turn the monotribe's LEVEL knob (p.11) and RHYTHM knob (p.15)
all the way to the left, and hold down the power switch until any
lit LEDs have gone dark.
Never turn off the monotribe while global data (p.16) is being writ-
ten. Doing so may damage the internal data.
Auto power-off
The monotribe has an auto power-off function. This function auto-
matically turns the power off after approximately four hours have
passed since the monotribe last produced sound.
Disabling the auto power-off function
If desired, you can disable the auto power-off function.
For details on this procedure, refer to the Global menu (p.16).
