TUTORIAL- SETTING UP A CHAIN

Here is a set of step-by-step instructions for setting up a chain using your SYNTHONY II. Remember that after you set this chain up, there are a total of 32 chains available to you. Generally, a chain is considered to be the different sounds that a player uses for one song. The steps are the different sounds within that song.

1.Turn on your SYNTHONY II.

2.Be sure that all of the sounds (and drum patterns and sequences, as well as arpeggios) that you want to put into your chain are saved in the Presets of your

SYNTHONY II.

3.Press “Chain”.

5.Press “Edit”. (At this point, both the “Chain” and “Edit” lights should be illuminated.)

6.Press the “Parameter +” button. The Name and number to left of the colon are the preset name and number. The number to the right of the colon is the step number. At this point, the step number should be 1.

7.Use the Value + or – buttons to scroll to the Preset sound that you wish to be the 1st Step in your Chain. For the purposes of this tutorial, scroll to Marimba 4.

8.Press Enter. This will automatically advance you to the 2nd Step in the Chain.

9.Use the Value + or – buttons to scroll to the Preset sound that you wish to be the 2nd Step in your Chain. For the purposes of this tutorial, scroll to Trumpet 12.
