Setting Sound SignalsSetting Sound SignalsSetting Sound SignalsSetting Sound SignalsSetting Sound Signals

The sound signal is used for triggering Chasers and Sequences. In other words, this is an electronic, graphic equalizer. In order to slowly balance any fluctuations of the audio signal, a specific compressor function has been integrated.

Furthermore, you will find an integrated adjustable HOLD-OFF function. This function will prevent any double triggers (for example: with fast BASSDRUM beats).

Furthermore, beats will be automatically recognized via the incoming sound signal (BPM). Press the TOOLS button once.

Call up this menu from the TOOLS menu using the Sound SettingsSound SettingsSound SettingsSound SettingsSound Settings button.

To set an equalizer, pull the respective slider to the desired position. In the left lower corner, there is a visual trigger signal (monitor) for your orientation. The small dot on the left side of the HOLD Function will indicate the remaining HOLD time. The small dot on the left side of the GAIN indicator will show the compression rate of the audio signal.

The right small dot will indicate the state of compression of the audio signal. The sound signal is visualized in the lower left part of the display. The analysis of the sound signal will be indicated in the smaller right part of the window, including indication of the recognised BPM (Beats per minute). By moving the BPM slider, the beat can be set. The next-possible beat will be recognised from the incoming audio signal and will be used to control the BPM. If the BPM button is ON, the currently recognised beat will be used. When switching the BPM to OFF, the last recognised beat at the time will remain unchanged and will be used. You can adjust the value using the BPM slider. If the Auto Stop button is on ON, the Chase or the effect will be stopped when there is no sound signal. If the Auto Fader button is also on ON, the Chase or the effect will be faded out when there is no sound signal.

When you switch the Auto Stop button to OFF, the Chaser or effect will continue with the latest BPM value measured.

The AUTO GAIN function can be used for grandMAs from serial no. 0055 and later (button will turn dark-grey button, HARDWARE modification). grandMA ultra-light allows only only only only only Auto Gain.
