2. GETTING STARTED

• USB:ForMIDIviaUSBandrmwareupdates.

• MIDI IN: To control MAGMA from MIDI devices not equipped with USB.

• If you want to synchronise MAGMA with an external MIDI device via MIDI clock, connect the MIDI

output of the respective device to the MIDI input of MAGMA and send a MIDI-clock signal to MAGMA.

• If you want to play MAGMA from a keyboard, connect the MIDI output of the keyboard to the MIDI

input of MAGMA.

The default MIDI channel setting is 1 and should not be messed with at this point.

Please note that USB port and MIDI sockets should not be connected at the same time.

One short but important note about MIDI loops:

When using MAGMA in connection with a software MIDI sequencer, please make sure that

the MIDI-through function of your software sequencer has been disabled, at least on the MIDI

channel that is used by MAGMA. Otherwise, MIDI data (sequencer notes) output by MAGMA

are fed back into MAGMA, causing data overow and thus erratic behaviour. Especially users of

Steinberg Cubase should keep an eye on this, since Cubase causes a MIDI loop when using its

default settings.

2.4. Check it out / First encounter (of a closer kind)

You are pretty curious to hear some sounds now, aren´t you? Because of your (perfectly understandable)

impatience,wewillrstgoonaquicktouratthispoint.Thefollowingsectionwillteachyouhowtoload

some presets, run sequences and tweak some pre-programmed sounds. Everything else will be covered

later. Here we go:

• First turn down MAGMA‘s VOLUME control fully counter-clockwise.

• Power MAGMA up.

• Turn up VOLUME to a suitable level. When it hurts, it is probably a tad too much.

When running MAGMA together with a mixer, turn MAGMA‘s VOLUME up to the max and adjust the input

level on your mixer. This will yield the best signal-to-noise ratio possible.

As you might have guessed by now, MAGMA is a monophonic synthesiser with an on-board sequencer. So

what could be more obvious than checking out some sequencer patterns and listen to the sounds. Here we

go (again):

• Hit the START/STOP button.

• You will hear the machine playing and you will see the STEP buttons / LEDs light up. Pretty nice,

huh?

• Choose an adequate tempo by moving TEMPO/VAL.

• To stop the sequencer, simply hit START/STOP again.

Now that we have got your attention, you might want to listen to some more presets. Go on like this:

You already guessed it - hit SHIFT and keep it depressed while hitting PRESET.

Then hit one button of the lower row to select a sub-bank. Keep it depressed while hitting one button of the

upperrow–nowyouhavechangedsub-banksaswellaspresets.

Haveyourgoatitandtryoutpresetsasyoudesire–enjoy!

To change tempo, leave the preset mode by pressing SHIFT and hitting NOTE (because in this mode, the

encoder will change presets). Now you are back in note mode and the VAL encoder adjusts the tempo.

Connect a MIDI keyboard to MAGMA via MIDI DIN connection. Set the MIDI channel of your keyboard to

#1. Now play some keys. The current sequence is transposed depending on the keys played. Please note

that keyboard velocity controls the volume of the sequence.

While a preset is active, you may also tweak the sounds by turning MAGMAs knobs. Feel free to experi-

ment.

All explanations about sound generation and programming the sequencer will follow later on.
