LOCAL MODE

Local operation mode (ON/OFF)

ON: This is the internal operating mode of your ZETA SYNTHONY II. The internal sound module will be directly triggered. Received program change events (via MIDI IN) will affect the program selected in your ZETA SYNTHONY II. These events are then sent on to the MIDI OUT port. In this way, other connected MIDI instruments can be controlled. This value should be set if you are not using an external sequencer to drive your ZETA SYNTHONY II or other synths. This would probably be the case most often in live situations.

OFF: If you want to control your ZETA SYNTHONY II from a hardware or software sequencer in cooperation with other connected MIDI instruments, you can deactivate local control. Your internal sound module will now act like a normal expander. You can no longer change the Presets of your internal sound module thtrough the MIDI IN port. Of course you can still select presets using the front panel buttons. All the MIDI data that your ZETA SYNTHONY II generates will now be exclusively sent to the MIDI OUT port. Make sure you have the sequencer connected to the MIDI OUT port of the ZETA SYNTHONY II and that the MIDI OUT port on the sequencer is connected to MIDI IN on your ZETA SYNTHONY II. Switch the echo function in your sequencer on, so that the incoming signal from your ZETA SYNTHONY II will be echoed to the OUT port and back to the ZETA SYNTHONY II and to it’s internal sound module.

After turning off your ZETA SYNTHONY II, the LOCAL MODE parameter is automatically reset to ON. If you set this parameter to OFF, it will only remain off as long as your ZETA SYNTHONY II is powered up.

TUNE BASE

Basic Tuning (-99…+99)

All the MIDI notes generated by your ZETA SYNTHONY II are compared to the reference tuning of 40 Hz plus or minus the value you set with this parameter. If you are playing with other musicians using instruments that

are difficult to tune (piano for example), it is much easier to tune your ZETA SYNTHONY II to their instrument. When you play alone (solo), you should set the tune base value to ”0”.

INSTRUMENT NO.
