Additional voice assignment modes

Additional voice assignment modes
Europa includes four additional voice assignment modes that extend the LED behavior on the assign

assign

buttons. See chapter 8 (voice assign modes) for more detail.

Manual mode

Manual mode
Europa’s MANUAL

MANUAL

mode operates differently from the Roland code in several ways.

When first entering manual mode with the Roland code, the current state of the knobs and sliders are
read and sent to the voice board(s), however, the switches (such as waveform, polarity, etc…) are
changed to the Roland default settings. Europa also reads the current state of the knobs and sliders, but
uses the state of the switches as they are set in the patch edit when entering MANUAL

MANUAL

mode.

Europa allows comparisons to be made between the MAN

MAN

MANUAL

UAL

mode settings and either the patch or

patch edit by pressing the MANUAL

MANUAL

button to toggle between them. This allows the user to jump

quickly between the edited patch and MANUAL

MANUAL

mode to position the sliders/knobs to match the patch

edit. The Roland code requires the user to save the patch edit, remember which memory it is in, and
alternate between pressing that location's button and the manual button.

The Roland code maintains a separate memory for the switch settings in manual mode, and Europa does
not. With the Roland code, if the user switches from MANUAL

MANUAL

mode to patch edit mode, moves sliders,

changes switch settings, and returns to MANUAL

MANUAL

mode, the slider settings change but the switch

settings revert to where they were before leaving MANUAL

MANUAL

mode. We found this to be counterintuitive

and unlike the way MANUAL

MANUAL

mode works in several other synthesizers. With Europa, the switch

settings for MANUAL

MANUAL

mode are kept in the patch edit. If the user leaves MANUAL

MANUAL

mode, the switch

settings ARE ONLY MAINTAINED IF THE PATCH IS NOT EDITED BEFORE RETURNING TO
MANUAL MODE! This means it is possible to leave MANUAL

MANUAL

mode, look for a patch memory location

to write to, return to MANUAL

MANUAL

mode, and write the patch.

Patch edit compare

Patch edit compare
Europa also includes a patch edit compare to allow comparison of the patch edit and any stored patch.
This allows toggling between a reference (stored) patch and the current patch edit to easily hear
differences. It is also useful in hunting for a place to store a given patch edit, as stored patches can be
recalled and heard without modifying/erasing the edited patch. The user interface for this feature
changes the way patch recalls work.

To toggle between the patch edit and a stored patch, simply press the A

A----F

or 1

1----8

while in patch mode. If

the “patched change” indication (one of the NUMBER

NUMBER

lights is blinking) is present, press the blinking

NUMBER

light again and it will light solid, indicating the patch heard is the stored patch. Unlike the

Roland code, this will not recall the stored patch into the patch edit buffer, even after multiple recalls of
patches throughout any BANK

BANK

or NUMBER

NUMBER

! Press the solidly lit LED again and it will begin blinking,

indicating the sound heard is now the patch edit and not the stored patch.

To copy a stored patch into the edit buffer, select the patch desired. Ensure the NUMBER

NUMBER

light is not

blinking. If it is, press the corresponding NUMBER

NUMBER

again until the appropriate NUMBER

NUMBER

LED is

steady. Make a change to the patch. As before, the NUMBER

NUMBER

light will start blinking – indicating the

patch has changed. All stored patches will copy from the edit buffer only.
