MS-1 Getting started
(EN) Step 3: Getting
started
OVERVIEW
This "getting started" guide will help you set up
the MS-1 analog synthesizer and briefly introduce
its capabilities.
CONNECTION
To connect the MS-1 to your system, please consult
the connection guide earlier in this document.
Caution: Do not overload the 3.5 mm inputs.
They can only accept the correct level of
voltages as shown in the specification tables. The 3.5
mm outputs should only be connected to inputs
capable of receiving the output voltages. Failure to
follow these instructions may damage the MS-1 or
external units.
SOFTWARE SETUP
The MS-1 is a USB Class Compliant MIDI device, and
so no driver installation is required. The MS-1 does
not require any additional drivers to work with
Windows and MacOS.
HARDWARE SETUP
Make all the connections in your system.
Apply power to the MS-1 using the supplied power
adapter only. Ensure your sound system is turned
down. Turn on the MS-1 power switch.
WARM UP TIME
We recommend leaving 15 minutes or more time
for the MS-1 to warm up before recording or live
performance. (Longer if it has been brought in from
the cold.) This will allow the precision analog circuits
time to reach their normal operating temperature
and tuned performance.
INITIAL SETUP
The following steps will help you get started making
sound with the MS-1.
1. With the power off, connect a pair of
headphones, and turn down the volume knob.
2. In the Source Mixer section, turn up the
sawtooth fader and turn down all the others.
(If all these faders are down, then there will
be no sources to listen to.)
3. In the VCF section, turn up the FREQ fader.
(If the fader is down, then the cutoff
frequency of the low pass filter may be
too low.)
4. In the VCA section, set the switch to Gate.
(If it is set to Envelope, then make sure to turn
up the D (decay) fader or the S (sustain) fader.)
5. Turn on the MS-1 and play notes on the
keyboard as you adjust the volume level to a
comfortable listening level.
6. If you hear no sound, hold SHIFT + <KYBD to
make sure you are in Keyboard mode and not
Step mode. Check the REC switch LED is Off.
SOURCE MIXER SECTION
The MS-1 has three waveforms, a sub oscillator, an
internal noise generator, and an external source
input. Each of these, and any combination, are used
by the MS-1 to generate sound.
The Source Mixer faders allow you to adjust the
volume of each to create an overall mix.
VCO SECTION
Adjust the Range knob and you will hear the sound
of the various octaves.
The MOD fader allows the VCO to be modulated by
the LFO. Turn up the MOD fader, and then adjust the
modulator controls such as the Rate fader, and the
Waveform selector.
The pulse width fader will adjust the pulse width if
the switch is set to MANUAL. Turn up the Pulse fader
in the Source Mixer section to hear the oscillator. If
the switch is set to LFO (or envelope) then the pulse
width is modulated by the LFO and its controls, (or
the envelope controls) and the pulse width fader
varies the amount of effect.
VCF SECTION
Play with the Frequency fader, and Resonance, and
listen to their effect on the sound.
The ENV fader will adjust the amount of effect the
ADSR envelope controls have on the VCF.
The MOD fader adjusts the amount of modulation
on the VCF. Vary the fader, and adjust the Modulator
LFO rate fader and the waveform.
The KYBD fader adjusts how much the VCF is affected
by the pitch of notes played.
Select an FM Source and then turn up the FM
Amount knob to suit. Listen to the various FM
sources and their effect.
VCA SECTION
The VCA switch allows you to select if the VCA is
affected by the envelope controls, or the keyboard
gate signal.
