FEATURES - IN BRIE

●

The FADERBOARD is a visionary combination of melodic and percussive instruments with advanced
mixing, sampling and effects control features that offers a completely new and original approach to
creative music production and performance.

●

The FADERBOARD utilizes faders, like that on a DJ mixing console, to create a feel similar to that of a
percussive instrument. These faders, justly named "KEY FADERS" produce sounds in a similar fashion
to a modern keyboard. However, due to the percussive nature of a fader, you need to move it up and
down to create sound, it is possible to produce extremely quick percussive patterns that would not
necessarily be possible with a keyboard.

●

Like a mixing console, the FADERBOARD has a MASTER FADER (MF) which controls the output signal
to your sound system, mixer and or headphones. This MF can be reversed and the curve set to a normal,
sharp or flat setting.

●

To give these "KEY FADERS" sound, the FADERBOARD has thirty (30) onboard Synthesizer Sounds,
ten (10) Drum / Percussion Sounds and up to ten (10) User Defined Sound Banks (Sample Banks).

●

The entire "KEY FADER" registry can be assigned to several keys. These being; C,D,E,F,G,A or B. Further,
each of these assigned keys can be raised (#) by using the SHARP SWITCH. There is also a OCTAVE
SWITCH that allows you to switch to an octave one above and one below the standard middle C setting.

F

●

In addition to the onboard sounds the FADERBOARD also allow for some serious production connections.
MIC INPUT, PHONO INPUT and LINE INPUT. These inputs can be used to produce samples (using the
User Defined Programs) or can allow the FADERBOARD to be used as a mixing console or effects unit.

●

The FADERBOARD utilizes Smart Media (SM) technology. There is a SM Card slot on the rear panel
of the FADERBOARD that allows you to upload your own pre-produced samples or tracks. The SM
feature is able to read either WAV or AIFF data.

●

To increase the production effectiveness of the FADERBOARD there is both a LINE OUTPUT and
MIDI OUTPUT.

●

The MIDI OUTPUT on the FADERBOARD can be used to trigger external MIDI devices, such as a drum
machine or effects module, and can also be used to facilitate the recording or original materials.

●

There are twelve (12) preset effects onboard the FADERBOARD. These include Wah, Reverb, Flanger,
Phaser, Ring modulation, Pitch shifter, Compressor, Distortion, Decimator, Resonator, Filter and Delay.
It is also possible to modify the parameters of each effect by using the EDIT VOLUME A and B.

●

2 Band MASTER EQ.

●

Three (3) step monitor feature.

OGRAM / SAMPLE BANK

S

Essentially the User Defined Programs are onboard sample banks that you can use to record onto by using the various
input options (LINE, PHONO, MIC) available. There are ten (10) available banks to which a maximum of thirty (30)
seconds worth of samples can be recorded. These samples can be played back using the KEY FADERS, with each
KEY FADER playing back the original sample at a different pitch.

In addition to being able to record onboard, you can record additional samples through the FADERBOARD onto a
Smart Media Card.

There are a maximum of ten (10) User Definable sample banks. The total onboard recording space available cannot
exceed thirty (30) seconds.

1. RECORDING A SAMPLE

Connect your external source, from which you want to

・

sample, to the FADERBOARD and select that input

P

HON

using the INPUT SELECT SWITCH on the rear panel
of the FADERBOARD. There is 1 x LINE INPUT, 1 x PHONO
INPUT and 1 x MIC INPUT.
・If using a turntable make sure your connection to
the phono terminal is also grounded. Use the GND
TERMINAL provided on the FADERBOARD.
・In addition to any external source you can record a
sample from the onboard Synth Programs or Drum /
Percussion Programs.
・It is also possible to record a sample of combined
external and internal sources.

INPUT LEVEL VOLUME. If you have connected an

2. SAVING A SAMPLE

・

Once you have recorded a sample you are able to play it back by using the KEY FADERS. To check the quality of
your sample, first make sure that you have lowered the volume of your external source to a suitable level or turned
this external source off. Please note that if the OCTAVE SWITCH is not set to '0' then playback of your sample will
not sound the same as your external source.

・

Saving. If you are happy with your sample press the SAVE LED. By pressing the SAVE LED, the FADERBOARD will
look for the lowest numbered availabe User Defined Program Bank to save to. This bank number will be displayed
on the DISPLAY. You can also select a preferred number, assuming it is available by using the CONTROL FADER.
If a User Defined Program Bank is empty there will be a dot following the number. (As illustrated).

You can overwrite a pre-recorded program bank so

CREATING WAV & AIFF FILES
In order to use a WAV or AIFF file on the FADERBOARD the following conditions must be satisfied.

File type must be either WAV or AIFF

・

8 Bit or 16 Bit mono

・

The file must be named 00 ~ 99.wav or 00 ~ 99.aif. That is, if the file is to be titled 1 then the file name must be

・

01.wav or 01.aif. If by chance you have awarded both a WAV and an AIFF file the same number/name, the WAV
file will take precedence.

・

The volume level of a WAV or AIFF file cannot be adjusted. This level needs to be determined during the creation
of the file.

・

To have a sample play back at its creation pitch rate it must be created at 32Hz. If created outside this Hz range,
you will need to adjust the playing pitch with the FADERBOARD.

Both WAV and AIFF will assume the following parameters, 8 bit / 32 KB, 16 bit / 64 KB. A sample should take

・

approximately one (1) second to be read.

ING MIDI CHANNEL

& MIDI MOD

E

MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. A MIDI device works in a similar way to a television.
That is, if the receiving device and the transmitting device are both set to the same channel then the transmitted
information can be monitored on the receiving device.
On the FADERBOARD, the MIDI output can be used to transmit data to an external device, such as a drum machine,
PC or sampler, so long as that device is MIDI capable.

When synchronizing an external MIDI device to the FADERBOARD, please read the user manual / guide
provided with your external device in order to ensure that your synchronization is effective.

1. SETTING THE MIDI CHANNEL

・

Connect the MIDI OUTPUT on the FADERBOARD to
the MIDI input of your external MIDI device.
