Microfreak/UG/04 Presets/03 Preset Config

• 04.03 Tweaking the Preset Configurations

  • Utility contains settings that change how the current preset behaves. Each preset saves its own settings, so presets can differ in voice mode, pressure response, sequence length, and other behavior.

  • Note/Info The two sequences in a preset always have the same length.
    

  • Changing Utility > Preset settings can reshape a sequence. For example, change Glide Mode from Time to Rate, turn on Envelope Reset for a snappier sequence, or change Seq (1–4) Smooth to hear how smoothing affects its mood.
  • The following preset parameters can be edited in Utility. None can be edited in MIDI Control Center.

  • Voice

    • Bend Range [0–24]: Sets the range from zero to two octaves.
    • Glide Mode [Time, Sync, Rate]: Selects time-based, tempo-synced, or rate-based glide for the Glide knob.

    • Envelope Legato [Off, On]: Resets the envelope on a keyboard trigger.
    • Envelope Snap [Off, On]: Creates a sharper envelope decay.
    • LFO Retrig [Off, On, Legato]: Sets whether the LFO retriggers, retriggers on a keyboard trigger, or does not retrigger during legato playing.
    • Press Mode [Aftertouch, Velocity]: Selects the pressure mode.
    • Key/Arp Mode [Linear, Random]: In Random mode, generates a new random value for each key pressed.
    • Velo Amp Mod [0–10]: Sets how velocity affects the output volume.

  • Preset Volume

    • Preset Volume [−12 to +12]: Sets the preset's relative volume.

    • Seq 1 Smooth [Off, On]: Smooths the sequencer MOD track 1.
    • Seq 2 Smooth [Off, On]: Smooths the sequencer MOD track 2.
    • Seq 3 Smooth [Off, On]: Smooths the sequencer MOD track 3.
