Step 3: Getting started
(EN)
OVERVIEW
This 'getting started' guide will help
you set up the MODEL D analog
synthesizer and briefly introduce
its capabilities.
CONNECTION
To connect the MODEL D 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 MODEL D or
external units.
SOFTWARE SETUP
The MODEL D is a USB Class Compliant
MIDI device, and so no driver
installation is required. The MODEL D
does not require any additional drivers
to work with Windows and MacOS.
HARDWARE SETUP
Make all the connections in
your system. Use the rear panel
MIDI switches to set the MODEL D to a
unique MIDI channel in your system.
Connect an external MIDI keyboard
directly to the MODEL D MIDI IN 5-pin
DIN type input.
Apply power to the MODEL D using
the supplied power adapter only.
Ensure your sound system is turned
down. Turn on the MODEL D rear
panel power switch.
WARM UP TIME
We recommend leaving 15 minutes
or more time for the MODEL D 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

A quick way of finding out if your
external sound system is working,
is to turn on the A-440 switch
on the MODEL D and adjust the
volume control. This will send a
constant tone (440 Hz) to your
external amplifier and speakers.
MIXER SECTION
The MODEL D has three oscillators,
an internal Noise generator, and an
external source input. Each of these,
and any combination, are used by the
MODEL D to generate sound.
The Mixer section allows you to turn
each of these sources on or off, and
adjust the volume of each to create
an overall mix. Start by turning on
the top switch for Oscillator 1, and
turn off the others. Adjust the volume
control of Oscillator 1. In the Output
section, adjust the main volume.
Now, if you play a note on your MIDI
keyboard, you should hear the sound
of Oscillator 1 only.
Turn on other oscillators and/or noise
and adjust their volume controls to
create a mix.
OSCILLATOR SECTION
In the Oscillator section, adjust
the Range knob and you will hear
the sound of the various octaves.
Adjust the wavetype and listen to
the differences.
The oscillator modulation switch
allows the oscillator frequency to be
modulated by the modulation mix.
The OSC 3 switch allows its
frequency to be affected by,
or be independent of, the notes played
on the keyboard, and the modulation
and pitch wheels.
Note: The TUNE knob and
OSCILLATOR-2 and -3 FREQUENCY
knobs are marked in units of
semi tones as a general guide.
FILTER SECTION
Play with the Cutoff Frequency,
Emphasis, and Contour, and listen
to their effects on the sound.
Adjust the Attack, Decay, and Sustain;
they affect the cutoff frequency
with time, while a note is played.
The filter decay switch affects the
decay after a note is released.
The 2 keyboard switches affect how
much the filter is affected by the
frequency of notes that are played.
If the filter modulation switch is ON
then the filter section is modulated
by the modulation mix.
LOUDNESS CONTOUR SECTION
In this section, adjust the Attack,
Decay, and Sustain; they affect the
overall level with time, while a note
is played. The loudness decay switch
affects the decay in level after a
note is released.
CONTROLLERS SECTION
First set the 2 switches to choose from
internal LFO or internal Noise, OSC 3
or the filter envelope, and then use
the MOD MIX knob to vary the mix
between them.
You can experiment by first setting
the switch to OSC 3, and turning the
MOD MIX knob to OSC 3. Then set the
Oscillator 3 range control to LO, and
the Oscillator Modulation switch ON.
You may now be able to hear the
sound of the Oscillator 1 modulated
by OSC 3. Use the MOD DEPTH knob,
and/or the Modulation wheel of your
keyboard to increase the effect.
If the Filter Modulation switch is ON,
listen to the effect of modulation on
the filter.
