MM workshop pt. 1: using the joystick

2003-10-03 by Splank!

Everyone can make new parts to this workshop.
Let?s learn more about the machine.

This info was sent to me by David@Elektron:

"
Step 1: you need to calibrate the joystick first
start while having [function] pressed
Testmode -> Make a circle with the joy ->
press octave up + down -> see a star, *, in the lcd -> restart.

Step 2:
press Kit->Assign to enter the Kit Assign Menu, from here the
destinations and amounts for the joy up-down, left-right, velocity and
key follow are controlled.

The current default setup is Joy left-right to pitch change, quite
standard. The joy up-down is set to the not finished dist, perhaps not
that great choice right now. Just go in and re-assign on turn the amount
to 0.

You can do lots of interesting things with the assign, favorites
velocity to filter Q and filter width or LFO speed and amount. But that
is just the start...

By now both the default setting and the dist are changed, so hopefully this
wont be a problem in the beta release.

STICK PLAYING INFO :
by choosing a track you can play with the individual stick settings for that
track.
For each track sound can assign 2 parameters per stick direction.

by pressing [multi trig] jostick movements will affect all track sounds at
once.
