ZETA Music Systems, Inc.
ZMC-200 Manual Rev2.0
LOCAL MODE
Local operation mode (ON/OFF)
ON: This is the internal operating mode of your ZETA SYNTHONY II.
The internal sound module will be directly triggered. Received program
change events (via MIDI IN) will affect the program selected in your
ZETA SYNTHONY II. These events are then sent on to the MIDI OUT
port. In this way, other connected MIDI instruments can be controlled. This
value should be set if you are not using an external sequencer to drive your
ZETA SYNTHONY II or other synths. This would probably be the case
most often in live situations.
OFF: If you want to control your ZETA SYNTHONY II from a hardware
or software sequencer in cooperation with other connected MIDI
instruments, you can deactivate local control. Your internal sound module
will now act like a normal expander. You can no longer change the Presets
of your internal sound module thtrough the MIDI IN port. Of course you
can still select presets using the front panel buttons. All the MIDI data that
your ZETA SYNTHONY II generates will now be exclusively sent to the
MIDI OUT port. Make sure you have the sequencer connected to the MIDI
OUT port of the ZETA SYNTHONY II and that the MIDI OUT port on the
sequencer is connected to MIDI IN on your ZETA SYNTHONY II. Switch
the echo function in your sequencer on, so that the incoming signal from
your ZETA SYNTHONY II will be echoed to the OUT port and back to
the ZETA SYNTHONY II and to it’s internal sound module.
After turning off your ZETA SYNTHONY II, the LOCAL MODE
parameter is automatically reset to ON. If you set this parameter to OFF, it
will only remain off as long as your ZETA SYNTHONY II is powered up.
TUNE BASE
Basic Tuning (-99…+99)
All the MIDI notes generated by your ZETA SYNTHONY II are compared
to the reference tuning of 40 Hz plus or minus the value you set with this
parameter. If you are playing with other musicians using instruments that
are difficult to tune (piano for example), it is much easier to tune your
ZETA SYNTHONY II to their instrument. When you play alone (solo),
you should set the tune base value to ”0”.
