Play some notes before, during, and after moving the (MOD2) wheel. You'll most likely hear the classic
analog synthesizer "filter sweep" sound.
USE THE VOCODER
Connect the gooseneck microphone (included) to the (MIC INPUT) on the MINIAK. Hold down
[PROGRAMS] then press the VOCODER / SFX key on the keyboard. Use the DATA DIAL to scroll through
the Programs
shown in the LCD. Vocoder Programs are denoted by a "#" symbol. Select one, hold down
different combinations of keys on the keyboard, and talk into the mic!
NAVIGATE THROUGH THE PROGRAMS
If you rotate the DATA DIAL enough, you'll pass through 13 categories
of Programs. At the end of the list, all of the Programs are presented
alphabetically, regardless of category.
Notice the text just above the keyboard. This text corresponds to the 13
categories and also includes the all, uncategorized listing. To jump to a
category instantly, hold down [PROGRAMS] and then press the associated white key.
SPECIAL CATEGORIES
All: As we've already seen, the all category is an alphabetical listing of all the Programs.
Recent: The ten most recently played Programs are stored for you automatically under the recent category.
They are still listed under their primary categories. This is a duplicate listing to allow for fast access. Note
that you cannot directly edit this listing. You need to select and then play the Programs you want to be listed
here.
Faves:
Adding Programs to Faves:
When you find a Program you particularly like, add it to the Faves
("Favorites") category. In [PROGRAMS] mode, press the DATA DIAL to enter edit mode. You will be
asked to Add to faves? Press the DATA DIAL once again to add the Program to the Faves category.
There is no limit to the number of faves you can have. Press the [PROGRAMS] button again if you
want to cancel this action and exit the editing screens.
Removing Programs from Faves:
To remove a Program from the Favorites list, call up the Program and
press the DATA DIAL. You will be asked, "Remove fave?" Press the DATA DIAL to perform the
action.
SWITCH OCTAVES
While the MINIAK is a compact unit, all of its sounds span the full 128-note MIDI range. Use the [OCTAVE]
buttons to the left of the display to transpose the keyboard up and down to cover that range.
Notice how one or the other [OCTAVE] lights glows progressively brighter as you push it. This provides a
visual indication of the current octave setting.
Press both [OCTAVE] buttons simultaneously to return to the default octave setting.
EXPLORE THE BUILT-IN SEQUENCES
The MINIAK features a powerful pattern sequencer with lots of editing capabilities. To play some
Sequences, press the [SEQUENCES] button to the left of the display. Turn the DATA DIAL to cycle through
various preset Sequences. Play the keyboard to hear them.
[TAP TEMPO]
Tap the [TAP TEMPO] button to the left of the display. Watch and hear how [TAP TEMPO] controls the
tempo. Note that the Sequence's tempo immediately locks to the speed at which you tap.
To adjust the tempo with finer control (one-tenth of a beat per minute), hold down the [TAP TEMPO] button
and turn the DATA DIAL left or right to slow down or speed up. The display will indicate the current tempo.
[LATCH ARP]
Press the [LATCH ARP] button, also to the left of the display. Remove your hands from the keyboard. The
Sequence keeps playing.
Press [LATCH ARP] again to stop the Sequence from playing.
To jump to a category
instantly, hold down
[PROGRAMS] and then press
the associated white key.
