If the Multi does not hav e any beats, this Rhyt hm is automa tically assigned to the Multi's bea t A. If the Multi already has one or more beats, you will be able to add the rhythm in one ...
16 5. Grid Choose 8 , 12 , 14 , 16 , 20 , 24 , or 32 steps per bar. Shortening the scale decreases the quantizing resolu tion. You're more l ikely to hear double notes and simpler syncopations at low values. Straight-ahead feels tend to result from using 8 , 16 , and 32 steps per bar. Swing and shuffle feels tend to result from choosing 12 or ...
17 Another way of setting the Rhythm's Program is to b ring it over from Program s Mode. Press [PROGRAMS] to enter Programs Mode, and find the Progr am that you wan t. Then, hold down [PROGRAMS] and press [RHYTHMS] , and the Rhythm's Program will be set. This works in the oth er direction as well–hold down [RHYTHMS] and press [PROGRAMS] ...

Then press the DATA DIAL to edit that positio ...
26 CHAPTER 6: PROGRAMS WHAT IS A PROGRA M? A MINIAK program is a sound built from the MINIAK's internal oscilla tors, filters, and envelope generato rs. The MINIAK's programs cover the gamut of classic analog synthesis sounds. If you've heard it before, you will probably find it amongst the MINIA K's presets. HOW THE MINI AK MAK ...
27 Signal Flow Diagram MODULATION At this point, you may think that producing a sound with the MINIAK is simply a matter o f configuring the parameters for the oscillators, filters, and mixers, and then hitting a key. An d although it's true that you can design some nice instruments this way, generating the really awesome sounds invariably inv ...
28 PLAYING PROGRAMS Press the [PROGRAMS] button to enter Programs Mode. Release the [PROGRAMS] button and spin th e DATA DIAL to cycle through the Programs first by cat egory and then – after you have re ached the last Program within the last category – again in alphabetical order. You can also quickly switch to any category by holding down [PR ...
29 4. split hi gh. The Multi's existing par t is split in two at a particular key. As with the split low o ption, the M INIAK prompts for a note on the keyboard at wh ich to execute the split. The Program is then sent to the upper part of the spli t. Every note above the one you select will use th is new program, up to that part's high ke ...

31 With exponential F M, the FM Amount controls the range of pi tch modulation, with a level of 100% driving the pitch up and down a full six octaves. 6. Oscillator parameters These parameters are repeated for each of the MINIAK's three oscillators. Waveform sine: Smooth and pure sound. tri/saw: A triangle wave, a sawtooth wave, or anything in ...
32 lowpass mg_4pole: Modeled on the filter found in the most famous monophonic analog synth ever made. The filter, with a steep cutoff and deep resonanc e, earned much credit for its fat soun d. This filter will self-oscillate a t high resonanc e settings. lowpass rp_4pole: Modeled on the filter in a very pop ular semi-modular synth. This filter wi ...
33 9. Post-filter mix parameters Set the mix levels and left-right pan positions for filter 1 , f ilter 2, and the pre-fil ter mix. Also set the following parameters: Preflt Src (Pre-Filt er Source): The outputs o f the oscillators, as we ll as a few other signal sour ces, are fed into a virtual m ixing board called the Pre Filter Mix. The job o f ...

37 FX2 EFFECTS You may choose any one of the Effects 2 module's si x different delay and reverberation effects. Mono Delay: Delay takes the original signal, waits a spec ified period of time, and then plays it back, over and over. Mono delay sums the MINIAK's input to mono before ap plying the delay effect. The result is a less complex bu ...
38 Split Left/R ight Delay: This stereo delay allows you to set the left and rig ht delay times independently. Unlike the other del ays, it does not allow for temp o synchronization. A. Left Delay Time This is the amount of time that the left-c hannel delay waits before regeneratin g the sound. Range: 1 ms – 340 ms B. Regeneration Per centage Thi ...
39 11. Envelopes For each of the three envelopes, se t the attack time and slope ( Atk ), the decay time and slope ( Dcy ), the s ustain time and level ( Sust ), and the release time and slope ( Rel ). The sustain time parameter determines the l ength of the sustain stage of the envelope. If you are familia r with analog synths, this parameter may ...
40 If this parameter is set to on, then th ere is no sustain stage — the envelope transitions from attack to decay to release. Furthermore, i t does n't matter how long y ou hold down the key; the envelope always follows this fixed-len gth program. If you are using the Loop feature o f the envelope, this parameter w ill have further e ffects ...
41 Reset mono The LFO is shared between the voic es of a Program. It may be at any point in its cycle when the f irst key is pressed. New voices will "ride" that LFO, joining other voices at the exact same point in the LFO's cycle. The LFOs in each Program are independent of each other, so they can be running at different spee ds. po ...
42 14. Track (Tra cking Generato r) The tracking generator lets you create your own curv es for the modulation sources. This allows fo r non-linear effec ts. For instance, as a source increases in amplitude, the destinatio n can be affected first negatively, then positivel y, an d then nega tively again. The inputs for the tracking gen erator–lik ...
43 Mod sources Here are the in puts to the mod ulation matrix: SOURCE DESCRIPTION (none) No effect Aftertch Polyphonic (per-note) A ftertouch, MIDI only Env 1 Amp Envelope Level Env 2 Filter Envelope Lev el Env 3 Pitch/Modulation Envelope Level ExpPedal Position value of Ex p pedal, or incoming MID I CC as assigned Keytrack MIDI Key # used as modul ...

48 c. Using the MINIAK wi th a MIDI patch bay: If you employ a MIDI patch bay to route controllers and sound sources, you will probably want to set local control to off. The MINIAK also has a special "off + send ptns" mode which actually sends out complete Sequence data (all notes, velocities, control change information) rather than one s ...
49 CHAPTER 8: MIDI WHAT IS MIDI? MIDI is the commu nication standard fo r electroni c musical instruments. You can use M IDI to: • Record what you play on your MIN IAK syn thesizer into a sequencer or compu ter. • Play back sequences from a sequ encer or compute r on your MIN IAK. • Store and recall Pr ograms and Multis on a computer. • Use ...
50 Saving Programs, Multis, Rh ythms, and Sequences via MIDI Sys tem Exclusive The MINIAK lets you transmi t Programs, Multis, Rhythm s, and Sequ ences to an exte rnal device (such as a computer, sequencer, storage device, or another MINIAK synthesizer) via MID I. MIDI devices u se a protocol called "System Exclusive" messaging (S ysex fo ...
51 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS There are category labels ("bass", "lead", "p ad") abov e the keys. How do I use them? Hold down [PROGRAMS] and press a key. Turn the DATA DIAL to hear other programs in the category. There are Program parameter labels ("voice" , "o sc", "filter") above the ke ...
52 How do I add a Rhythm to my Multi? The same way you add a Program or Sequence. But si nce you will often on ly have a single Beat in a Multi, the quickest way to add it or change it is to press [RHYTHMS] , find the Rhythm you want, an d then simply hold [R HYTHMS] and press [MULTI] to send i t over. How do I assign different Pr ograms to differe ...
53 The [STORE] button is dimly lit. What does this mean? This means that you have unstored work in some oth e r mode. For example, if you are in Multi Mode and [STORE] is dim, then the current Multi has been st ored, bu t perhaps there is a Program or Sequence with unstored changes. If your Multi us es this Program or Sequence, then you will even h ...
54 Recovering from a Crash If your MINIAK behaves erratically or "freezes" on you, turn it off, wait for a moment, and th en turn it on again. Make sure you turn of f any amplificatio n first. If your instrument still isn't work ing afte r that, then disconnect the (MIDI IN ) cable and repeat the power on/off trick. This ought to wor ...
