4. നിയന്ത്രണങ്ങളും സവിശേഷതകളും കഴിഞ്ഞുview

The Behringer TD-3-MO-SR features a comprehensive set of controls for sound shaping and sequencing. Below is an overview of the main control sections.

Figure 4.1: Front panel layout of the Behringer TD-3-MO-SR Analog Bass Line Synthesizer, showing all knobs, switches, and buttons.

4.1 ഓസിലേറ്റർ വിഭാഗം

• LEVEL (HIGH/MID/LOW): Adjusts the overall output level of the oscillator.
• SUB OSC: Engages or disengages the sub-oscillator for added low-end presence.
• WAVE (OFF/SQUARE/SAW): Selects the oscillator waveform: OFF, Square wave, or Sawtooth wave.

4.2 ഫിൽട്ടർ വിഭാഗം

• ട്യൂൺ ചെയ്യുക: Fine-tunes the pitch of the oscillator.
• വിച്ഛേദിക്കുക: Controls the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter. Lower values result in a darker sound.
• റിസോണൻസ്: Boosts frequencies around the cutoff point, creating a more pronounced and sometimes "squelchy" sound.
• കവര്: Adjusts the amount of envelope modulation applied to the filter cutoff.
• ക്ഷയം: Sets the decay time of the filter envelope.
• ആക്‌സൻ്റ്: Controls the intensity of the accent effect on notes.
• എഫ്എം ഫിൽട്ടർ ചെയ്യുക: Modulates the filter cutoff frequency.
• ഫിൽട്ടർ ട്രാക്കിംഗ്: Determines how much the filter cutoff tracks the played note's pitch.
• ഓവർഡ്രൈവ്: Adds distortion and saturation to the output signal.

4.3 Envelope and Gate Controls

• SOFT ATTACK: Controls the attack time of the ampലൈഫയർ എൻവലപ്പ്.
• NORMAL - DECAY - ACCENT: These controls likely relate to the decay characteristics of the envelope, possibly affecting how long notes sustain or how accents are shaped.
• ഗേറ്റ്: A switch or knob related to the gate time of notes.

4.4 Sequencer and Performance Controls

• TEMPO (SLOW/FAST): Adjusts the playback speed of the sequencer.
• TRACK PATTERN GROUP (I-IV): Selects the group of patterns for track arrangement.
• MODE (WRITE TRK/PLAY/WRITE PATT): Selects the operational mode for sequencing (Track Write, Play, Pattern Write).
• സ്ലൈഡ് സമയം: Controls the duration of the slide effect between notes.
• SWEEP ACCENT SPEED SWEEP (FAST/SLOW, HIRES): Controls the speed and resolution of the accent sweep.
• VOLUME (MIN/MAX): Master output volume control.
• MUFFLER (0-2): A unique control, likely affecting the tone or filter in a specific way.
• ACCENT (Red Button): Manually triggers an accent.
• D.C. BAR RESET / CLEAR: Resets the current bar or clears pattern data.
• RAND: Generates a random pattern.
• ആരംഭിക്കുക/നിർത്തുക: Initiates or halts sequencer playback.
• ബാർ: Selects the current bar in a pattern.
• FUNCTION (NORMAL MODE): Activates secondary functions of the keyboard buttons.
• PITCH MODE (INT/MIDI/USB/TRIG/1PPS/2PPQ/24PPQ/48PPQ): Selects the clock source or pitch input mode.
• Keyboard Buttons (C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C): Used for note input and also serve as function buttons (DEL, INS, CH, COPY, PASTE).
• TIME MODE (TRANSPOSE DOWN/UP, ACCENT, SLIDE): Controls for transposing patterns, adding accents, and slides in time mode.
• ഘട്ടം (1-0): Selects individual steps within a pattern.
• PATTERN SECTION (A/B, 100/200): Selects different sections or banks of patterns.
• SYNC (D.S.): Synchronization options, possibly for external clock.
• WRITE/NEXT: Saves the current pattern/track and moves to the next.
• ടാപ്പ് ചെയ്യുക: Tap tempo input.

4.5 പിൻ പാനൽ കണക്ഷനുകൾ

• FILTER IN / FILTER FM IN / FILTER CV IN: Inputs for external control of the filter.
• ACCENT IN / SLIDE IN / GATE IN / CV IN: Inputs for external control of accent, slide, gate, and control voltage.
• SYNC IN / ACCENT OUT / GATE OUT / CV OUT / FILTER OUT / PHONES: Synchronization input, and outputs for accent, gate, control voltage, filter, and headphones.

5. പരിപാലനം

5.1 വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ

To clean the unit, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

5.2 സംഭരണം

Store the TD-3-MO-SR in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. If storing for extended periods, it is recommended to disconnect the power adapter.

6. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

6.1 ശബ്ദ ഔട്ട്പുട്ട് ഇല്ല

• Check if the power adapter is securely connected and the unit is powered on.
• Ensure the VOLUME knob is turned up.
• Verify that audio cables are correctly connected to the AUDIO OUT jack and to your mixer/ampജീവൻ.
• Confirm that a pattern is playing (START/STOP button LED should be active).

6.2 Sequencer Not Playing

• Ensure the unit is in PLAY mode.
• Check the TEMPO knob setting.
• Verify that the selected pattern contains notes.
• If using external sync, ensure the SYNC source is correctly configured and sending a clock signal.

6.3 Connectivity Issues (MIDI/USB)

• എല്ലാ കേബിളുകളും സുരക്ഷിതമായി ബന്ധിപ്പിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടെന്ന് ഉറപ്പാക്കുക.
• Check MIDI channel settings on both the TD-3-MO-SR and your external device/software.
