PRESET / PANEL

These buttons select the performance mode of your Subsequent 37. In PRESET mode, the sound

you hear reects the position that the panel knobs and buttons were in when the preset was saved,

regardless of their current position. In PANEL mode, the sound you hear reects the current position

of the front-panel knobs and buttons. Parameters in this mode (other than the knobs) are saved in a

special buffer, so you can pre-set the panel to retain any non-knob settings you choose. Any sequence

data you have created before exiting the PANEL mode will also be stored to this buffer. To load the

PANEL settings without loading its sequence, hold BANK while pressing PANEL to enter panel mode.

PRESET EDIT

Press and hold the PRESET / EDIT button to enter the PRESET EDIT MENU. This is where additional

preset parameters that would not t on the front panel are located. To learn more about the PRESET

EDIT MENU, go to page 39.

INITIALIZE PANEL

Press and hold the PANEL / INIT button to initialize the Subsequent 37 panel settings to a default

state. This is a great place to start when creating new sounds from scratch.

FINE TUNE

Use this knob to adjust the frequency of both oscillators as much as one semitone up or down from its

center position. Fine-tuning is useful for putting the Subsequent 37 in tune with any other instruments

that deviate slightly from standard pitch.

KEYBOARD OCTAVE BUTTONS

Use the KB OCTAVE buttons to extend the Subsequent

37’s keyboard from its normal three-octave range to a full

seven octaves.

Pressing the button once transposes the Subsequent 37’s pitch down an octave. Pressing it again

transposes it down another octave. Likewise, pressing the button transposes the pitch up an octave,

and pressing it again transposes it up another octave. When neither button is illuminated the Subsequent

37’s keyboard is playing in its standard octave. When a KB OCTAVE button is dimly lit, the keyboard is

transposed a single octave. When a KB OCTAVE button is brightly lit, the keyboard is transposed two

octaves.

NOTE: Since this is an analog synthesizer based on 1 volt-per-octave scaling, the extreme high and low

ranges of the keyboard may play notes that are not perfectly in tune.

The KB OCTAVE buttons also transpose the MIDI Note Numbers that the Subsequent 37 transmits by

corresponding amounts.

DEFAULT KB OCTAVE

Briey pressing both KB OCTAVE buttons together will reset the Subsequent 37 to its standard octave

regardless of current octave selection.

QUICK KEYBOARD TRANSPOSE

While holding both the KB OCTAVE UP and DOWN at the same time, play any single note in the lower

two octaves of keys to transpose the entire Subsequent 37 keyboard from -12 half-steps to +12 half-

steps. Pressing Middle C will set the transposition to +0 (default). Keys to the left of Middle C will

transpose downward, and keys above Middle C will transpose upwards. The KB TRNSPOSE value will

be reected in the PRESET EDIT 1.5 parameter as well. This is stored as part of the preset.

MIDI PANIC

Holding both KB OCTAVE buttons at the same time for about one second will send a MIDI Panic (All

Notes and Controllers Off) message.
