Can be cancelled during operation by pressing the rotary encoder (62). Calibration typically takes around 2.5 minutes. Shift & 59 - Vintage - accesses the Vintage Settings Menu (Atrophy). Options can be scrolled with the rotary encoder (62) and are loaded automatically and will be saved automatically if parameters are changed. Names of the Atrophy Profiles can be changed by the same method as is used for patches. The Factory Defaults menu allows the original versions to be re-loaded. 1. OB-Xa 2. OB-8 3. Creamy 4. Broken 5. Gnarly 6. Bright 7. Modern 8. Stereo A note about Atrophy: over time the components used in electronic equipment deteriorate, unless they are changed during a service. In synthesizers this has the effect of changing the sound of the synthesizer over time, sometimes to the point where the synthesizer becomes unusable owing to the instability that this causes. The UB-Xa has been designed to emulate the characteristics of a synthesizer whose components have deteriorated without causing it to fail completely; and these altered characteristics can be loaded through the Vintage options. Finer adjustments can be made through the Voice menu options described below. Presets can be overwritten if required. Shift & 60 - Initial - reloads the default patch from memory, overwriting any edits that have been made. Use the select control to confirm. Shift & 63 - Bank/Page Down - changes the current patch bank downwards (D / C / B / A). Shift & 64 - Bank/Page Up - changes the current patch bank upwards (A / B / C / D). Shift & 65 - USB / MIDI - accesses the USB and MIDI settings 1. Channel In Upper - select channel 1-16, All to respond to all channels, None to disable MIDI In. Default is 1. The channel selected here will also be used in normal mode. 2. Channel In Lower - select channel 1-16, All to respond to all channels, None to disable MIDI In. Default is 2. 3. Channel Out Upper - select channel 1-16 or RxChannel to duplicate MIDI In channel. Default is 1. The channel selected here will also be used in normal mode. 4. Channel Out Lower - select channel 1-16 or RxChannel to duplicate MIDI In channel. Default is 2. 5. Device ID - select an ID number for the device from 1-16, in case multiple units are to be used on the same MIDI connection, for Sysex. 6. Sync - synchronization for sequencer and arpeggiator. Select from: a - Internal - sequencer and arpeggiator use rate set by control 9 b - USB - sequencer and arpeggiator use clock from external MIDI device connected via the USB port. Control 9 has no effect. c - DIN - sequencer and arpeggiator use clock from external MIDI device connected to the MIDI In DIN socket. Control 9 has no effect. 7. Song - controls how the UB-Xa responds to Song information from an external MIDI source on either USB or DIN. You can select response to: a - Song Position Pointer (on (default) / off using +/- buttons). b - Stop on Seek - sequencer pauses when SPP received (on / off (default) using +/- buttons). c - Stop all off - all notes off when sequencer is paused (on (default) / off using +/- buttons). d - Keystart Seq - allows a sequence to be restarted from Pause by pressing a key on the keyboard (on (default) / off using +/- buttons). The sequence will be transposed to the key used. When used with a split patch this function will only operate if a sequence has been recorded for the zone that they key is in. e - Start EN Seq - MIDI Start, Stop and Continue commands can be used to auto-arm the sequencer (on (default) / off using +/- buttons) f - Start EN Arp - MIDI Start, Stop and Continue commands can be used to auto-arm the arpeggiator (on / off (default) using the +/- buttons) 8. Forwarding - selects how MIDI data is forwarded between the DIN and USB ports: a - DIN to USB (on or off (default) using +/- buttons) - forwards incoming MIDI data from the DIN MIDI In to USB MIDI OUT. b - USB to DIN (on or off (default) using +/- buttons) - forwards incoming MIDI data from the USB port to DIN MIDI OUT. c - DIN to DIN (on or off (default) using +/- buttons) - forwards incoming MIDI data from the DIN MIDI IN to the DIN MIDI OUT. Please note that this option should not be selected if the same external source is connected to both the DIN MIDI IN and the DIN MIDI OUT of the UB-Xa. d - Rt to USB (on or off (default) using +/- buttons) - forwards System Real Time data (start/stop/pause/continue) from the UB-Xa to the USB MIDI OUT. e - Rt to DIN (on or off (default) using +/- buttons) - forwards System Real Time data (start/stop/pause/continue) from the UB-Xa to the DIN MIDI OUT. f - Clock to DIN (on or off (default) using +/- buttons) - sends clock data received from USB MIDI IN to DIN MIDI OUT. g - Clock to USB (on or off (default) using +/- buttons) - sends clock data received from DIN MIDI In to USB MIDI OUT. h - ArpSeq Sel (on or off (default) using +/- buttons) - sends the arpeggiator and on-board sequencer to MIDI OUTs. 9. Local Control - selects how the UB-Xa is controlled by and controls other equipment: a - Local Control - switches the UB-Xa's keyboard on (default) or off using +/- buttons. b - DIN Rt - switches sending of System Real Time data. (start/stop/pause/ continue) from UB-Xa to DIN MIDI OUT (on (default) or off using +/- buttons).
