Original TI tips - front panel (and also big thank you to access!)

    Hi,
    Im in the process of getting used to my TI mark 1 which I bought used, and Im really loving it!


    I tend to use the TI front panel rather than virus control, so when I was looking for the new effects in OS 5, I looked in the appendum and it said they could be accessed via the OTHERS effects menu,
    which the TI doesn't have.... so I was disappointed UNTIL I found out you could access it by pressing the filter EDIT button twice!!!
    So I started playing with other buttons, to see what was not labelled, with double presses and also shift and there are quite a few!!!
    (I understand why, as presumably these did not exist when TI was released)


    So first, Id like to send a big thanks to Access, for adding these to the original TI front panel... it would have been easier to not add, and say its a new model thing, but you took extra time and effort - kudos and thanks!!!


    Next, has someone documented these 'extras' ? If so perhaps you could post a link.


    If not, then I will start compiling a list, and post them here for others to enjoy


    Thanks again Access!


    BTW, does anyone have any tips for selecting patches from panel
    I know the standard ones, using search.. and shift V2, shift V3. ( shift V1 doesnt work) - but perhaps faster stepping thru search, values
    also, is there any way to load quickly load multi? e.g. load all parts with same patch? (again from front panel)

    ok, decided I need the list for myself, these are just controls that were'nt immediately obvious to me, but I think are very useful :o)
    let me know if you know any other useful shortcuts.


    General
    hold +, hold - , release + =selects max value
    hold -, hold + , release = = selects min value


    press + and - together = select default value


    press and hold +, press and hold - = increase value quickly
    press and hold -, press and hold + = decrease value quickly


    if navigation by page - then Shift + param = next field
    if navigation by field - then Shift + param = next page



    ARP
    None


    Matrix
    Sh+Select = reverse order


    Modulators
    Edit/Edit = toggle LFO & Edit Destination (current LFO)
    Sh+Shape = reverse order


    Oscillators
    Sh+Select = reverse order
    Edit/Edit = common/noise/ring mod
    Sh+Mono = key mode


    Mix
    Access light = flashes for original value


    Filters
    Sh+Filter Balance = Unison Spread %
    Sh+Flt1 = Analog Filter Mode
    Sh+Flt2 = Filter Routing
    Edit = Filter Env -> Amp Env -> Saturation -> Filter 1 -> Filter 2 -> Common


    Effects - Upper Row
    Sh+Select = reverse order
    Delay, Sh+time = colour, Sh+FB=damping
    Reverb, Sh+time = colour, Sh+FB=damping


    Effects - Lower Row
    Sh+Select = reverse order
    Edit/Edit = other effects : vocoder, input follower, filter bank


    Main LCD Panel
    Sh+Transpose = semitone transpose
    Sh+Tap = Midi Transmit dump
    Sh+Multi or Single = seq mode


    Multi mode….
    Sh+Parameter = selects bank for current part
    Sh+Value - nothing (well does normal action of changing mutli program) (id hoped this would select program)
    \

    Not sure if this holds true for the original TI, but at least on the TI2 (edit: in Single Mode) you can hit Shift-Parameter to switch between fields in menu pages instead of entire pages as Parameter does.
    That may have been obvious, but I didn't notice it until I searched for a way to make a field active without changing it.

    Level up to maximum by holding the Value ‘+’ button, then the Value ‘-’ button. Release ‘+’ before you release ‘-’. Once you get the hang of it, you won’t go straight for the Value knob every time you need minimum or maximum values.

    thanks for adding,
    noct, yes this works on original TI too...
    though ive switch in the menu to use navigation by field - this means param goes to next field and sh-param goes to next page.


    poly, one for you + and - together reset to a default value.


    I'll add these to the above post for completeness. thanks again

    I decided last night that navigation by page is better for how I work. I use REL knob behavior so when I need the cursor on 1 of the 3 page parameters, a slight twist of the soft knobs gets me there with only a small increment of difference if any. And usually when using the + or - buttons, rather than a dedicated knob, you are looking for tiny changes anyhow.
