Quick Start
This chapter gives you a quick introduction into the MicroWave II/XT/XTk and its features. It
is written for those people that want to get a quick success without reading tons of manual
stuff. Although the MicroWave II/XT/XTk is a very complex device with many capabilities,
its basic operation is quite easy to understand. But there are also more complicated things
that make it necessary to take a deeper look into this manual from time to time.
Basic Setup
1. Press the Power button 햶 to switch on the MicroWave II/XT/XTk. The display 햳
will show a startup message which disappears after a few seconds.
2. When you want to switch off the power, press and hold the Power button 햶
again. The display now shows a countdown from 10 to 0. When 0 is reached, the
MicroWave is switched off. If you release the Power button before, nothing will
happen. This is just a precaution to prevent data loss by accidently hitting the
button.
3. Before you can start playing the MicroWave II/XT/XTk, you have to ensure that its
MIDI receive channel is set properly. When you power up for the very first time,
channel 1 is selected. To change the setting, press the Utility button 햷. The display
now shows:
Use the first value dial 햾 below the display to change the MIDI receive channel.
Sound Mode
In Sound mode, the MicroWave II/XT/XTk can play one sound at a time. You can select
between 256 Sound programs, which are organised in two banks
A001…B128
and
B001…B128
.
Selecting Sound Programs
1. Press the Play button 햽 to return to the program select page. The display now
shows the program number and the name of the currently selected program:
Play some notes on your MIDI keyboard and listen to the sound.
2. If you want to adjust the MicroWave II/XT/XTk’s volume, use the rightmost value
dial, labeled Main Vol.
3. Use the Page Dial 햴 to select other sound programs. Turning the dial clockwise
increases the program number, turning the dial counterclockwise decreases it. On
the XTk, you can also use the numeric keys 헁 to enter a 2 or 3 digit program
number in the range 001…128.
Editing Sound Parameters via Play Access
Now it is time to do some edits on a sound program. The easiest way for editing sound
parameters is using the so-called Play Access page.
