[. . . ] Installation of the Software Before using the new qualities of your AXON it is necessary to open the instrument and to exchange the EPROM to the chip you find enclosed. This change is not very difficult and it does not require specific skill. Use a lever that is not to sharp-edged (for example a screw-driver) lo lever up the old EPROM out of the socket by carefully turning. During the installation of the new EPROM you have to pay attention to the correct orientation (the mark of the socket has to correspond w i t h the mark of the EPROM). Before you press the EPROM make sure that the EPROM's legs correspond with the openings of the socket. If necessary you can bend the legs into the right position by light pressure while they are lying lateral on a table. Additional features of the new Software GLOBAL Parameter Mode: GK2, AX101/BCM PIEZO Choose the pickup system you use to control your AXON w i t h the +/ - value button. The position GK2, AX101 corresponds to (he normal mode, for example while using the Roland Synthesizer Driver GK2A. The position BCM PIEZO allows you to use polyphonic pie/o pickups with your instrument (optionally available). An imporlani advantage for the Midi-guitarist is that he can also play - as it is normal with concert guitars - nylon strings with this invisible pickup type, installed into the bridge. Extended HOLD Mode/Arpeggiator Hold mode (COMM/+SEP/-SEP/ARPG/0. . 127) The function SEPERATE offers now 2 variants thai influence the function of the hold pedal and the selection of channels and sound parameter. After pressing the hold pedal a chord can be played and it will be held on a separate channel by releasing th pedal. Thereby the soundparameter that have been set up before in EDT: SEGM: HOLD are taken as a basis. After pressing (lie hold pedal a played chord will be held therefore with the same sound parameter. Until the release of the pedal all further sounds are given out on the free channel whose sound parameters are defined in EDT SEGM: NORM. The position ARPG activates the installed arpeggiator. It is now possible to activate an arpeggio with the help of the hold pedal. With a pressed pedal the sequences of the played notes are stored and played in an infinite loop depending on the arpeggiator' s function. While the Arpeggio is played endless in the background on the hold channel, the standard channel is available for further playing. The arpeggiator will be finished only after you press the hold pedal once again. The operation of the arpeggiator can be influenced by a few parameters. ARPG. TEMPO (EXT/10. . 250) The arpeggio's speed can be alternatively synchronized externally by a Midi clock (MIDI IN socket) or internally by indication of BPM (Beats per minute) between 10 (very slow) and 250 (very fast). [. . . ] Go w i t h the cursor (+/- parameter button) to the line "HOLD MODE. " and activate the arpeggiator with the +/- Value button (position HOLD MODE:ARPG). Then you have to set up (with the help of value and parameter b u t t o n ) (the following values of the arpeggiator: ARPG. TEMPO: 60, A R P G . The single notes of the chord will be repeated endless in the arpeggio loop. Because the length of ( t h e arpeggio h a s been limited to 4 notes, the first note in the arpeggio buffer w i l l be changed to the new one. [. . . ]
