Firmware Update - Behringer ODYSSEY Guia De Inicio Rapido

VCF SECTION
Adjust the VCF Frequency fader, and VCF Resonance,
and listen to their effect on the sound. Vary the
VCF MODE switch to select from 3 classic modes.
The KYBD / S/H MIXER or PEDAL fader adjusts how
much the VCF is affected by the pitch of notes
played, or by the S/H, or an optional footpedal.
The S/H /LFO fader adjusts the amount of
modulation on the VCF. Choose between S/H and LFO
as a modulation source. Vary the fader, and adjust
the S/H controls or the LFO rate fader.
The ADSR/AR fader will adjust the amount of effect
the ADSR or AR envelope controls have on the VCF.
VCA SECTION
The VCA switch allows you to select if the VCA is
affected by the ADSR or the AR envelope controls.
Adjust the fader and also the VCA GAIN fader if
required. The high pass filter is used to cutoff any
unwanted lower frequencies. Select DRIVE on or off
as needed.
ADSR and AR ENVELOPE SECTION
These faders adjust the VCA, and their effect is on
the volume level, and its variation with time.
These faders also adjust the VCF and their effect is on
the cutoff frequency and its variation with time.
The VCO-1 and VCO-2 pulse widths and FM
modulation can also be affected by the ADSR
envelope controls, if the relevant switches in the
VCO-1 and VCO-2 sections are set to ADSR.
PORTAMENTO
The PORTAMENTO fader will allow you to adjust
the glide time between different played notes. An
optional footswitch will allow the PORTAMENTO to
be engaged or disengaged.
ARPEGGIATOR
To use the arpeggiator, press the ARP switch in the
sequencer section:
1. Press it once to play the arpeggiator. (It stops
when notes are released.)
2. Press it twice, or press HOLD and ARP to play
and hold the arpeggiator. (It continues when
notes are released.)
The arpeggiator rate is set by the TEMPO/GATE
LENGTH fader.
The order in which the arpeggiator notes are played
has 8 options, and this can be changed by pressing
either <KYBD or STEP> when the arpeggiator is
playing. The LOCATION LED shows the current order
1 to 8:
1. UP
2. DOWN
3. DOWN and UP
4. RANDOM
5. UP (+ 1 OCT)
6. DOWN (+ 1 OCT)
7. UP (- 1 OCT)
8. DOWN (- 1 OCT)
ACCENT
If you are playing the keyboard, the accent is
automatically triggered when the velocity exceeds
the threshold. (This accent velocity threshold can be
adjusted, or this feature disabled, using the Synth
Tool APP).
To use accent while playing, press the ACCENT
switch:
1. Press and hold to play the note with accent
status. (It stops when the switch is released.)
2. Press it twice to play and hold the accent
status. (The LED flashes slowly.)
NOTE PRIORITY
If more than one note is played at the same time, the
note which is played (the note priority) depends on
which VCO is being used:
VCO-1: the Lowest note is played
VCO-2: the Highest note is played.
SEQUENCER
The sequencer allows you to program up to 32 steps
of notes and rests, and to save them as a pattern.
Up to 64 patterns can be recorded, saved, and
recalled in 8 banks of 8 patterns.
The sequencer has two modes of operation:
KEYBOARD mode, where you can create and store
a pattern, and STEP mode, where you can interact
while composing a pattern.
Details of the Sequencer operation are shown on
page 44.
Klark Teknik EFFECTS
The FX section is engaged using the FX On/Off
switch. Select from 32 classic effects, by turning the
PROGRAM/VALUE knob, and pressing it.
Each FX program has 3 parameters that can be
viewed by pressing the PARAMETER switches, and
varied by rotating the knob. Adjust the level of the
FX using the FX SEND level knob.
See page 48 for a list of FX programs, parameters,
and value ranges.
