REGELWERK
MIDI fader box and analogue/pattern sequencer
Regelwerk
Manual
REGELWERK is a professional tool to generate any
MIDI data by means of 24 faders with 48 related buttons and LEDs (2 buttons
and 2 LEDs for each fader). REGELWERK is able to work as an 8-track analog/pattern
sequencer with the possibility combining the features of the fader box and the
sequencer at the same time (e.g. 8 faders with fader box features and 16 faders
for generating a sequence).
The fader box features include standard functions
like assignment of any MIDI data type to the faders and buttons (e.g. any controller,
after-touch, note-on/off, velocity, program-change, Sys-Ex) as well as functions
like Solo, Mute, Master, Total Recall, Overdup, HookOn. For example you may
program the unit as a real-time editor for any other MIDI equipment by assigning
the required MIDI events to the faders and buttons.
In addition REGELWERK is suitable to generate pattern-based
musical structures like rhythmic trigger patterns, arpeggios, analog sequences,
chord triggers and other rhythmic structures. The immediate access to important
controlling parameters lead to completely new rhythmic and sequencing applications
especially for improvisations and live events.
Here some important features in catchwords for
the "Fader-Box" Mode
- function for each fader/button in clear words
in the display (not only numbers or cryptic codes)
- LED blinking frequency proportional to the distance
of the desired/stored value
- Different actualizing modes: immediate with
adjustable threshold, relative (to stored value), catch (stored value has
to be crossed)
- Sys-Ex strings with a maximum length of at least
30 bytes, the fader controlled byte can be set anywhere within the string
- Definition of maximum and minimum value of the
fader-generated value (including inverted characteristics)
- Manipulation of incoming MIDI-events (e.g. controlling
the velocity of incoming note-events with one of the faders)
- Possibility of fader groups with master-fader
- typical applications of the buttons: sending
any MIDI event (including Sys-Ex string), different events for press and release
possible (e.g. note on/note off), actual fader value can be used for the event
(e.g. velocity for note on/off), sending of actual fader value, mute, demute,
solo
- Auto-learn mode (learning of assigned MIDI event
via MIDI In)
- copy/move fader/button parameters
- Sampling frequency of faders is adjustable
- 64 presets for the assignement of all faders
and buttons, when calling-up a preset any MIDI string can be sent
- 64 pattern for the assignment of all sequencer
parameters (patterns are compatible with SCHALTWERK)
- all 64 presets and 64 patterns could be send
/received over SysEx
- 128 snapshot memories (momentary values of alle
faders and buttons)
Here some features in catchwords for the "Sequencer"
Mode:
- analog and trigger sequencer functions (similiar
but reduced compared to SCHALTWERK and MAQ16/3)
- 8 tracks of 16 steps (only one track can be
seen and edited at a time)
- controls for a track: up to 16 buttons and LEDs
- setting/resetting of steps by pressing the corresponding
button while the pattern is running, resulting in lively structures changeable
in real time
- display of the active steps and the actual step
- the following parameters can be controlled in
real time with the faders of the sequence-section: note number, note velocity,
note length, prescale (i.e. speed in relation to MIDI clock), run mode (forward,
backward, pendulum ...), MIDI channel, end step (i.e. length of the track)
and many more
- synchronisation internal/external (via MIDI
clock or SYNC socket)
- MIDI and CV/Gate outputs at the same time
General features:
- 2 MIDI In, 2 MIDI Out, SYNC (Roland compatible)
- 8 CV outputs (3.5 mm miniature jack sockets),
function only in sequencer mode, range: 0...+5V, 1V/Octave characteristics
- 8 Gate outputs (3.5 mm miniature jack sockets),
function only in sequencer mode, voltage gate 0/+5V light grey 19" case,
5 height units
- 24 faders (60mm), 72 buttons, 56 LEDs, 2-line
LC-display, rotary encoder for data input
- optically similiar to SCHALTWERK, MAQ16/3, A-100,
MS-404, MCV24 and so on
