Automatic Tuning ([FUNCTION] + [C#])
The Bass Bot can self-calibrate its tuning. Set the Mode switch to MIDI mode. Set the Tuning control knob
to the center position. Turn off and back on again the power before tuning. Then press [FUNCTION] + [C#].
The Function and C# LEDs will light up for a few seconds. When these LEDs turn off, your Bass Bot will be
in tune with accuracy of ± 5 cents. Take a few seconds to check the tuning’s accuracy using a tuner or by
ear by pressing the keys on the keyboard after completion. If the desired accuracy is not achieved with the
first tuning, very slightly adjust the Tuning knob then run the automatic tuning function a second or third
time. They keyboard's low C is a C2 note and it should be 65.4Hz when accurately tuned. If it remains
improperly tuned. Turn the power off and back on and try a few more times to induce recalibration.
Gate Time Setting New in OS 2.0!
You may set the gate time for the sequencer's note playback. To do this, press and hold
[FUNCTION] + [TIME] while in Pattern Write, Pattern Play, or Arpeggiator Mode. You will see LED
indicators over several keyboard keys. These represent the options for Gate Time, where the F# key
represents the traditional 50% gate time. Keys to the left of F# represent shorter gate times while keys to
the right represent longer gate times. You may listen to the different gate times to decide which option
you'd like to use. Press [FUNCTION] to accept your new selection or press [PATTERN CLEAR] to exit the
selection screen without saving any changes to the Gate Time.
Changing the gate time can help give your Bass Bot the sound that's right for themusicyouwanttomake.
The Gate Time is a system setting that will apply to all patterns during pattern playback.
