Editing sounds---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The BassStation’s panel(s) can be edited much like the
hardware
BassStation’s
real
panel
-
not
quite
as
direct perhaps
as
reaching out and tweaking
a
knob
but....
Simply move your mouse over the control you want to change. On the
Mac,
the cursor will
change to
a
‘hand’
and on
a
PC, the cursor
will
change to
a
‘cross-hair’
symbol. The
selected
parameter
and its value
will
be shown on the LCD:
Click
on the control and move the mouse up or down. As the control is moved, the value
changes in the display. When
a
parameter
has been modied, an
asterisk
appea
rs
in the LCD
next the
program
number to indicate that the sound has been changed in some way:
If
you write the sound to memory, the
asterisk
disappears.
Switches can be enabled / disabled
simply
by clicking on them and sliding them to the
required
position.
In
the example below, it is
clear
that the
RANGE
is set to 8’ and the WAVE is set to
square.
The LFO has
a
drop-down menu to select
MIDI
CLOCK SYNC.
Click
and hold on these and
make
your selection by dragging down the drop down list and
releasing the mouse on the value you want to set.
Note :
If
you have
a
mouse that is
equipped
with
a
wheel, you can use this to great eect with
the panels. When the cursor is over
a
knob or slider,
simply
use the wheel to move it and set a
value
-
no
nee
d to click... just place the cursor over the control and
scroll
the mouse
wheel.
The mouse wheel can
also
be used with drop down menus
as
well... place the mouse over a
drop down and scroll.
Using the compare function---------------------------------------------------------------------
After
making
any changes to
a
sound it
may
be useful to compare it with the
originally
stored
program. This can be achieved using the COMPARE
function:
To
illustrate
this, select any
program
and tweak the panel controls
-
move the lter, change an
oscillator’s
octave setting, whatever. Now
click
and hold down the COMPARE
button.
The
sound you
will
hear
will
now be the
originally
stored program. Releasing the COMPARE
button
will
switch to listening to the edited sound
again.
In
this
way,
you can decide whether
the
changes you have made
are
worthwhile or should be
abandoned
