Basic Functions

Powering on

SKULPT synthesiser can be powered either through the micro USB socket, or by 6 x AA

batteries installed in the underside battery compartment.

To use USB power, simply connect the supplied Micro USB cable to a power source, and slide

the power switch to the left-hand “USB” position.

To use batteries install 6xAA the battery compartment on the underside of the unit, and slide

the power switch to the right-hand “BAT” position.

PLEASE ENSURE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY - FAILURE TO INSTALL BATTERIES

CORRECTLY MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.

Before powering up ensure the volume control is at minimum. Electronics during ﬁrst power-

on create a ‘pop’ and this may cause damage to your speakers and the sound guy’s ear drums.

Power on by using the power toggle on the rear of the unit to select to correct source as

outlined above the toggle.

WARNING!!

DO NOT hold the LFO2/RINGMOD button whilst powering on SKULPT synthesiser.

Doing so and holding the button for a further 4 seconds will erase the ﬁrmware and stop the

SKULPT from working. You can restore the ﬁrmware via the update process, but it’s best to

avoid doing this unintentionally.

The 16 touch pads allow you to play the synthesiser without sending it MIDI from another

device. The octave can be conﬁgured using the OCT+ and OCT - buttons.The touch pads

also send MIDI notes out, which you can use to control other instruments or features on your

DAW.

Secondary functions

The touch pads all have multiple secondary functions that can be accessed by holding the

relevant SHIFT / PRESET (or combination) button in your selected mode. (See UI Combinations)
