POLY D Getting started

EN Step 3: Getting started

OVERVIEW

This 'getting started' guide will help you set up the POLY D analog synthesizer and briefly introduce its capabilities.

CONNECTION

To connect the POLY D to your system, please consult the connection guide earlier in this document.

SOFTWARE SETUP

The POLY D is a USB Class Compliant MIDI device, and so no driver installation is required. The POLY D does not require any additional drivers to work with Windows and MacOS.

The "Synthtool.exe" application allows you to select the MIDI channel number and to set and adjust various parameters of the POLY D to suit your preferences. SysEx commands can also be used. Please see the information later in this manual.

HARDWARE SETUP

Make all the connections in your system.

Apply power to the POLY D using the supplied power adapter only. Ensure your sound system is turned down. Turn on the POLY D power switch.

WARM UP TIME

We recommend leaving 15 minutes or more time for the POLY 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.

MIXER SECTION

The POLY D has four oscillators, an internal Noise generator, and an external source input. Each of these, and any combination, are used by the POLY 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 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.

If the MODE switch is set to PCLY, the first note will play Oscillator 1, playing 2 notes plays Oscillator 1 and 2, playing 3 notes plays Oscillator 1, 2, and 3, and playing 4 notes plays Oscillator 1, 2, 3, and 4.

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 4 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, 3, and 4 FREQUENCY knobs are marked in units of semi-tomes 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 2 keyboard switches affect how much the filter is affected by the frequency of notes that are players. 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 4 or the filter envelope, and then use the MODULATION MIX knob to vary the mix between them.

You can experiment by first setting the switch to OSC 4, and turning the MODULATION MIX knob to OSC 4. Then set the Oscillator 4 range control to LO, and the Oscillator Modulation switch OK. You may now be able to hear the sound of the Oscillator 1 modulated by OSC 4. Use 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.

The Modulation Sensitivity curve can be chosen from hard, medium, or soft (the default), using the SysEx commands shown later in this manual.

SEQUENCER SECTION

Details of the Sequencer operation are shown on page 38.

ARPEGGIATOR

To use the arpeggiator, press the ARP switch in the sequencer section:

1. Press it once to play the arpeggiator. (It stops when notes are released.)
2. Press HOLD to play and hold the arpeggiator. (It continues when notes are released.)

The arpeggiator rate is set by the TEMPO/GATE LENGTH knob.

The order in which the arpeggiator notes are played has 8 options, and this can be changed by pressing either when the arpeggiator is playing. The LOCATION LED shows the current order 1 to 8:

1. UP (+10CT)

2. DOWN (+10CT)

3. UP (-1 OCT)

4. DOWN (-1 OCT)

FIRMWARE UPDATE

Please check our website behlinger.com regularly for any updates to the firmware of your POLY D synthesizer. The firmware file can be downloaded and stored on your computer, and then used to update the POLY D. It comes with detailed instructions on the update procedure.

HAVE FUN

The POLY D has various Gate and CV Inputs and outputs that allow for further experimentation and expansion to other POLY D units and modular synthesizer equipment.

Make copies of the patch sheet at the end of this manual, and record your favorite settings.

With all these controls, the possibilities for musical creativity are endless, rather like an artist with a new box of paints. We hope that you will enjoy your new POLY D.

SEQUENCER OVERVIEW

The following details show some of the basic operation of the sequencer. You can create a short pattern of 2 or 3 steps, before trying more complex patterns. Adjust a single parameter at a time, such as gate length, ratchet, accent, glide, rest, tie, or swing, and then listen to its effect during playback.

It will help to choose a simple setting for the synthesizer, such as only one source, and no modulation of the VCO or VCF.

RECORDING A SIMPLE PATTERN

1. Press SHIFT and <KYBD to select the keyboard mode.
2. Initialise the current pattern by pressing SHIFT, RESET, and PATTERN at the same time. This will delete any previous steps of the current pattern.
3. Press REC, and the STEP 1 switch LED will begin flashing, indicating this is the current step about to be added and edited. (If you cannot select REC, then repeat step 1.)
4. Press any note on the keyboard, or a rest as shown below.
5. To enter a rest instead of a note, press the HOLD/REST switch. When a rest is added, the LOCATOR LED 8 will light.
6. Press further notes. The next STEP switch LED will be flashing after each note or rest has been added.

7. The gate length of a step can be adjusted using the TEMPO/SATE LENGTH control. The LOCATOR LEDs will turn red, showing the gate length from 1 to 8. If set to 8, this creates a tie with the next step, if the next step is the same note, this creates a longer note, as the 2 steps are tied.

8. To create a "Ratchet," hold SHIFT, and turn the GUIDE control. The locator LEDs will show the number of ratchets from 7 to 4, in yellow. For example, with a setting of 4, the single step is split into 4 equal parts. When a ratchet is applied, the LOCATION LED 6 will light.

9. To turn the GLIDE on for a step, turn up the GLIDE control. To turn off, turn it all the way down. When GLIDE is on for a step, the LOCATION LED 5 will light.

10. To increase the brightness or accent, press the RESET/ACCENT switch. When an accent is applied, the LOCATION LED 7 will light.

11. Press REC when you have finished creating the pattern. It is not saved yet, but it can be played back. Caution: Do not turn off the unit, or create a new pattern, or the current unsaved pattern will be lost.

PLAYING A PATTERN

1. Press PLAY/STOP to listen to the current pattern.
2. If you decide not to save it, you can repeat the recording steps above to record a new pattern. Alternatively, press PATTERN and RESET to recall the currently saved pattern, and discard any changes.
3. If you decide to save the pattern, you must follow the "SAVING A PATTERN" procedure shown below, or it will not remain in memory if a new pattern is begun, or the power is turned off.

4. To create a SWING for this pattern, hold SHIFT and adjust the TEMPO/GATE LENGTH control. In the center position, no swing is applied, if turned down, only the off-beats will play, and if all the way up, only the on-beats will play. The SWING setting for the pattern is saved when the pattern is saved as shown below.

5. While playing a pattern:

Press HOLD/REST to hold the current step. Press RESET/ACCENT to return to step 1.

Press SHIFT and any STEP, and you can edit the gate length, rest, accent, ratchet, glide but not note. Press SHIFT and the same STEP again to exit step edit. If playback is paused, the same operation can edit the note as well.

Press PAGE to view the pattern page from 1 to 4. Press SHIFT and PAGE to return to automatic page turning. Press SHIFT and ARP/SETEND and a STEP to

PLAY/STOP to pause playback.

1. Press PLAY/STOP.

SAVING A PATTERN

1. Press and hold SHIFT + PLAY/STOP for 2 seconds until the LOCATOR LED of the current pattern number begins to flash green slowly.
2. Press a STEP switch 1 to 8 to select the new desired pattern number.
3. Press PATTERN + STEP switch 1 to 8 to select the desired bank number.
4. Press SHIFT + REC to save the pattern and exit the save mode.

RECALLING A SAVED PATTERN

1. Press and hold PATTERN. The LOCATION LED will show the current pattern number. Use the switches to move up and down through the patterns 1 to 8, or press a STEP switch 1 to 8. You can also do this while a pattern is playing.
2. Press and hold SHIFT and PATTERN. The LOCATION LED will show the current bank number. Use the switches to move up and down through the banks 1 to 8, or press a STEP switch 1 to 8. You can also do this while a pattern is playing.
3. Press PLAY/STOP to play back the current pattern.
4. During playback, the LOCATION LEDs will show the current page of the pattern (1 to 4), and the STEP Switch LEDs will show the steps moving.

LIVE PERFORMANCE

During playback, temporary adjustments can be made as follows. (None of these are saved with the pattern.)
1. To add Ratchet to all steps of the pattern, press SHIFT and adjust the GLIDE control.
2. To add SWING, press SHIFT and adjust the TEMPO control.
3. To mute the pattern, press SHIFT + HOLD/REST.
4. To add an accent to all steps, press SHIFT + RESET/ACCENT.

EDITING A PATTERN

1. To edit a pattern in Keyboard mode, press REC. The STEP switch LEDs will light.
2. Press PAGE to select the pattern page from 1 to 4 to be edited. The green LOCATION LEDs 1 to 4 will show the current page.
3. Press SHIFT and the STEP switch you want to edit. You can enter a new note, or a rest, and adjust any of the other parameters such as ratchet, glide on/off, and so on.
4. Press SHIFT and the next STEP switch to be edited. (The steps will not automatically advance to the next step in line; you can choose which steps to edit next.)
5. Press REC to exit the editing mode.

6. Press PLAY/STOP to listen to the edited pattern.

7. Remember to save the pattern using the "SAVING A PATTERN" procedure above.

CREATING A PATTERN IN STEP MODE

1. Press SHIFT and STEP> to select the Sequencer's STEP mode. The flashing LOCATION LED will turn from green (Keyboard mode) to yellow (Stop mode).
2. Initialise the current pattern by pressing SHIFT, RESET, and PATTERN at the same time. This will delete any previous steps of the current pattern. (If you want to use the current pattern instead, then do not initialise it.)
3. Press PAGE to move to a desired page of your pattern. Then press SET END and a STEP switch to choose the length of the pattern. For example, if you are on page 1 and press SET END + 8, then the pattern length is 8 steps. If you press PAGE and reach page 4, and press SET END + 8, then the pattern will be 32 steps long (4 pages of 8 steps each).
4. When the desired SET END is selected, all the STEP switch LEDs up to that step will be on solid red.
5. Press SHIFT and any one of the STEP switches at the same time. It will begin to flash, indicating it is the current step about to be edited. You can now add a note, or a rest, or any of the other functions described above in the Keyboard mode, such as Batchet, Glide, Accent, change gate length and so on.
6. Press SHIFT and the current STEP switch to finish editing that step. It will stop flashing.
7. Repeat procedure steps 5 and 6 above, until all your required steps are good.
8. Press PLAY/STOP to play the pattern
9. While playing, you can add temporary adjustments as shown in the "LIVE PERFORMANCE" procedure above.

SAVING A PATTERN IN STEP MODE

1. Patterns created in STEP mode are not saved in this mode.
2. If you wanted to save it, first switch back to KEYBOARD mode by pressing SHIFT + <KYBD.
3. Caution: Do not turn off the unit, or create a new pattern, or the current unsaved pattern will be lost.
4. Save the pattern using the "SAVING A PATTERN" procedure shown above for the KEYBOARD mode.
