QUICKSTART

It’s certainly understandable that you are not in the mood right now to learn all about the theory and structure of your ZETA SYNTHONY II. You can do that later in the pages of this manual. Now it’s time to dabble a little:

BASIC SETTINGS

Before you start, it’s important to tell the ZETA SYNTHONY II a few things about the instrument you’ll be playing. The more exact you are about these basic settings, the more exact your ZETA SYNTHONY II’s neural net will be able to interpret your playing style and adjust to how you play. The default parameters are set so that you will probably only have to change a few of them. Then later, when you get to know your ZETA SYNTHONY II a bit better, you will be able to fine-tune these settings (Global Parameters).

1.Using the 13 pin jack on the front side of the ZETA SYNTHONY II, connect your Zeta instrument to the SYNTHONY II using the connector cable provided. The cable has two different ends and can only be connected to the instrument and SYNTHONY II one way. If you will be using an external MIDI instrument, connect it using the MIDI-out port on the ZETA SYNTHONY II and the MIDI- in port on the synth using normal MIDI cables.

2.Turn on the ZETA SYNTHONY II. Wait for a moment until the SYNTHONY II has completed its initialization process and the display is still.

3.Press the GLOBAL button. In the display you now see ”BASIC CHANNEL.” If you see a ”1” after the colon, leave it. If not, use the +/- Value buttons to set this value to 1.
