41 DeepMind 6 User Manual • When a non-trigger key is selected, the BNK up soft switch will appear 4. Play the desired chord, and "LEARNING" will appear in the display as shown: (instead of DEL or VIEW). This allows you to navigate between banks to find an existing trigger, or to use a new bank to record and save your next trigger. RECORDING MODES Poly chords can be manually entered using the REC mode, or they can be generated using the inbuilt WIZARD mode. Note: In the procedures that follow, the DeepMind 6 is connected and running in normal operation (LOCAL is ON), so you can hear the notes and poly chords. POLY CHORD CREATION USING THE REC MODE 1. To create a poly chord manually, press the POLY CHORD switch once, and it will be illuminated steadily in blue. A screen similar to this will appear: ILLUMINATED 5. You can add additional notes to the chord as long as at least one note is still being held down. Release all the keys when you are done. 6. The status line shows the text "CUSTOM-TYPE-NOTES" where: • CUSTOM - This indicates a chord you have manually created, instead of using the WIZARD (described later). • TYPE - If the chord type is recognized as one that is saved in the WIZARD memory, then the chord TYPE is displayed. • NOTES - The component notes of the chord. The status line in the example above shows that the CUSTOM chord is TYPE (Ma), with notes C3, E3, and G3. 7. The chord will then be ready to be assigned to a trigger key, and "PRESS TRIGGER" will appear in the display as shown. The POLY CHORD switch will flash slowly. Note: The chord size is limited to 12 notes. The DeepMind 6 can play up to 6 notes simultaneously, and any additonal notes can be played by another DeepMind unit in POLY CHAIN mode. 2. Use the BNK UP soft switch to navigate to a Bank where you want to store the new trigger. In the example below, we have moved to Bank C. FLASHING SLOW 8. Press the key on your keyboard that you want to be the trigger, and the screen will change to something like this shown below: Note: If you press an existing trigger key at this stage, it will immediately change to become the new chord, without warning. 3. Press the REC soft switch, and "ARMED" will appear at the bottom of the display. The physical POLY CHORD switch will begin double flashing. ILLUMINATED 2X FLASHING FAST 9. The trigger key is now ready for use. In the above example, with the POLY CHORD switch still on, each time you press the C3 key, the poly chord made up of C3, E3, and G3 will play.
