PROGRAMMING SECTION (CONTINUED)
PRESET / PANEL
These buttons select the performance mode of your Sub 37. In PRESET mode, the sound you hear
reflects the position that the panel knobs and buttons were in when the preset was saved, regardless
of their current position. In PANEL mode, the sound you hear reflects the current position of the front-
panel knobs and buttons. Parameters in this mode (other than the knobs) are saved in a special buffer,
so you can pre-set the panel to retain any non-knob settings you choose. Any sequence data you have
created before exiting the PANEL mode will also be stored to this buffer. To load the PANEL settings
without loading its sequence, hold BANK while pressing PANEL to enter panel mode.
PRESET EDIT
Press and hold the PRESET / EDIT button to enter the PRESET EDIT MENU. This is where additional
preset parameters that would not fit on the front panel are located. To learn more about the PRESET
EDIT MENU, go to page 39.
INITIALIZE PANEL
Press and hold the PANEL / INIT button to initialize the Sub 37 panel settings to a default state. This is
a great place to start when creating new sounds from scratch.
FINE TUNE
Use this knob to adjust the frequency of both oscillators as much as one semitone up or down from
its center position. Fine-tuning is useful for putting the Sub 37 in tune with any other instruments that
deviate slightly from standard pitch.
KEYBOARD OCTAVE BUTTONS
Use the KB OCTAVE buttons to extend the Sub 37’s
keyboard from its normal three-octave range to a full
seven octaves.
Pressing the button once transposes the Sub 37’s pitch down an octave. Pressing it again transposes
it down another octave. Likewise, pressing the button transposes the pitch up an octave, and pressing it
again transposes it up another octave. When neither button is illuminated the Sub 37’s keyboard is playing
in its standard octave. When a KB OCTAVE button is dimly lit, the keyboard is transposed a single octave.
When a KB OCTAVE button is brightly lit, the keyboard is transposed two octaves.
NOTE: Since this is an analog synthesizer based on 1 volt-per-octave scaling, the extreme high and low
ranges of the keyboard may play notes that are not perfectly in tune.
The KB OCTAVE buttons also transpose the MIDI Note Numbers that the Sub 37 transmits by
corresponding amounts.
DEFAULT KB OCTAVE
Briefly pressing both KB OCTAVE buttons together will reset the Sub 37 to its standard octave
regardless of current octave selection.
QUICK KEYBOARD TRANSPOSE
While holding both the KB OCTAVE UP and DOWN at the same time, play any single note in the lower
two octaves of keys to transpose the entire Sub 37 keyboard from -12 half-steps to +12 half-steps.
Pressing Middle C will set the transposition to +0 (default). Keys to the left of Middle C will transpose
downward, and keys above Middle C will transpose upwards. The KB TRNSPOSE value will be reflected
in the PRESET EDIT 1.5 parameter as well. This is stored as part of the preset.
MIDI PANIC
Holding both KB OCTAVE buttons at the same time for about one second will send a MIDI Panic (All
Notes and Controllers Off) message.
