Caution: Do not overload the 3.5 mm inputs. They can only accept
the correct level of voltages as shown in the specification tables.
The 3.5 mm outputs should only be connected to inputs capable of
receiving the output voltages. Failure to follow these instructions
may damage the CRAVE or external units.
SEQUENCER SECTION
The sequencer is described in further detail in this document.
It also features an arpeggiator, and a 13-key keyboard.
OUTPUT (VCA) SECTION
Use the main volume control to adjust the sound level in your
headphones or speaker system.
Keep the level down low when first putting on headphones.
Keep the CRAVE power turned off when making any connections.
Turn on the CRAVE before turning on any power amplifiers,
and turn it off last. This will help prevent any turn on or turn off
"pops or thumps" in your speakers.
The output can be modulated using the envelope, or it can be on
continuously, playing and holding the last note played, until the
next note occurs.
ARPEGGIATOR
To use the arpeggiator, press the ARP switch in the
sequencer section:
1.
Press it once to play the arpeggiator. (It stops when notes
are released.)
2.
Press it twice, or press HOLD and ARP, to hold the arpeggio.
(It continues when notes are released.)
The arpeggiator rate is set by the TEMPO/GATE LENGTH
knob. The arpeggiator gate length is set by SHIFT + TEMPO/
GATE LENGTH.
The order in which the arpeggiator notes are played has 8 options,
and this can be changed by pressing either <KYBD or STEP> when
the arpeggiator is playing. The LOCATION LED shows the current
order 1 to 8:
1.
UP 1
2.
DOWN 1
3.
DOWN and UP
4.
RANDOM
5.
UP (+ 1 Oct)
6.
DOWN (+1 Oct)
7.
UP (- 1 Oct)
8.
DOWN (- 1 Oct)
ACCENT
If you are playing a MIDI keyboard, the accent is automatically
triggered when the velocity exceeds the threshold. (This accent
velocity threshold can be adjusted, or this feature disabled,
using the SynthTool APP).
To use accent while playing, press the ACCENT switch:
1.
Press and hold to play the note with accent
status. (It stops when the switch is released.)
2.
Press it twice to play and hold the accent
status. (The LED flashes slowly.)
FIRMWARE UPDATE
The SynthTool App is available as a free download from the CRAVE
product page of our website: behringer.com. The latest file can
be downloaded and stored on your computer, and then used to
update the CRAVE if required.
