Xbase 09 Operating Manual - Cyborgstudio.com

OH DECAY controls the decay time of the analog volume envelope that is laid over the OH
sample, just as on the TR909.
CH DECAY does the same for the sample assigned to CH.
HH BAL controls the volume balance between the samples assigned to OH and CH. Use this to
adjust the volume of different samples in pattern mode
TUNE defines the pitch i. e. the playback speed of the sample in a fairly wide range
All samples are processed by the VCA envelope. This VCA envelope is however not reversible,
which means that the DECAY parameter may need to be turned all the way up for the envelope
not to cut off the end part of a sample.
4.2.2 Tempo/Data Control
In PATTERN, SONG and SONG-PLAY modes, this knob controls the sequencer’s tempo.
Especially in a live-situation, it might be possible that you change the tempo by hitting the
Tempo-Knob unintended. To avoid this, the Tempo-Knob is only active when you hit the Accent-
Button and keep it pressed down while you turn the Tempo-Knob.
In some functions, it also serves to set the value of the parameter shown in the display.
Turning the knob counter clockwise reduces the value, turning it clockwise increases it. The data
knob can set tempo changes only in steps of two. To fine-set a BPM value, press the ACCENT
button and scroll through the values with the UP/DOWN buttons in single steps. It is not possilbe
to set fractions of BPM.
4.2.3 UP/DOWN buttons.
Use the UP/DOWN buttons to increase/decrease the values shown in the display in single steps. It
is possible to reverse the response of these buttons to what suits you better. Press the SHIFTand
UP buttons at the same time. You can now choose between the assignments Ud (Up Down) and
dU (Down UP). Press ENTER to select or SHIFT to abort.
4.2.4 Instrument Volume Control
BD Level, SD Level, HH Level
Use this to set the basic volume level of the individual instruments. These knobs also control the
level at the individual outputs.
4.2.5 Master-Volume Control
Use this to set the volume of the MIX output. For best sound quality, keep this knob turned up all
the way.
4.2.6 Accent Control
Depending on the ACCENT mode selected, this knob serves to set the global maximum accent.
