Using this parameter you can set the volume level at which your ZETA SYNTHONY II reacts to a signal from your instrument (at which volume level a MIDI NOTE ON event is sent). The smaller the value, the more sensitively your ZETA SYNTHONY II reacts even to very softly played notes. Higher values mean that you have to play loudly in order for the ZETA SYNTHONY II to send a NOTE ON event. You should experiment with this parameter in order to find a setting that feels good to you and your playing style.

SENSE

Instrument input sensitivity: C5…E1 or E5…G2 (1…50)

Using the +/- Parameter buttons you can toggle through all the strings of your instrument and set each one’s input sensitivity separately. Higher values mean a higher level of sensitivity. Your ZETA SYNTHONY II, like many electronic devices that translate analog audio into a digital signal, is very sensitive and can easily be overdriven. But the other extreme is equally as true: you shouldn’t drive your ZETA SYNTHONY II with too low of an input signal level either. You will probably have to increase the sensitivity of the thin strings to obtain a balance between the strings and to reproduce a natural sound. When setting up a bass instrument, for reasons of compatibility, your ZETA SYNTHONY II takes for granted that you are playing a six-string bass. If you are playing an instrument with less than six strings, simply bypass the strings that don’t apply.

Tutorial: Sensitivity Adjustments

The Synthony II is set up for real-time performance. If you would like to set it up for interfacing with a computer and various software applications, the sensitivity settings for each string must be adjusted accordingly. This is relatively easily done. Without making these adjustments, the computer will “hear” many more notes than you want it to. In other words, it will receive too much information.

You will also use this process when your Synthony II is triggering notes that you don’t want. When that happens, it means that your Sensitivity settings are too high. Pay attention to the specific string that the problems seem to be focusing around. Frequently, a player will use a different sensitivity for each string.

To make these adjustments, follow the following steps.

Turn on Synthony II
