Range of adjustment: 0 to 127
Audio from Input 2 may be mixed into Outputs 3 and 4 by adjusting RE4. With Input Link-
ing (RE1 on Audio Menu Page 1) set to Indept, RE4 adjusts level for Input 2 only. With
Input Linking set to Stereo, the level of both Inputs 1 and 2 will be adjusted as a pair.

Pressing the GLOBAL button [31] opens the Global Menu (seven pages). This menu
contains a set of synth and audio system functions which, once set up, will not generally
need to be accessed on a regular basis. The Global Menu also includes the routines to
update the UltraNova's Operating System. Note that settings made in the Global Menu are
not saved with any Patch changes. However, it is possible to save the Global Menu settings

RE2: Local Control On/Off
Displayed as:
Default value:
Range of adjustment:
This control determines whether the UltraNova is to be played from its own keyboard, or
to respond to MIDI control from an external device, such as a MIDI sequencer or master
keyboard. Set Local to On to use the keyboard, and to Off if you are going to control the
synth externally via MIDI or use the UltraNova's keyboard as a master keyboard.
A primary use of Local Control On/Off is to avoid unwanted MIDI loops through
external equipment. When set to Off, the UltraNova's keyboard and all other
controls still transmit MIDI messages from the MIDI OUT port if MIDI OUT On/
Off (RE4) is enabled. If any external equipment is set to re-transmit MIDI back to the
UltraNova, then the synth will still operate. This will avoid notes sounding twice, a reduction
in polyphony or any other unpredictable effects.
RE3: Assign MIDI Channel
Displayed as:
Default value:
AllBanks
Range of adjustment:
The MIDI protocol provides 16 channels allowing up to 16 devices to co-exist on a MIDI
network, if each is assigned to operate on a different MIDI channel. Assign MIDI Channel
lets you set the UltraNova to receive and transmit MIDI data on a particular channel, so that
it can interface correctly with external equipment.
RE4: MIDI Out On/Off
Displayed as:
In2FX
Default value:
0
Range of adjustment:
1+2/3+4
This control enables the UltraNova to transmit MIDI Out messages from the MIDI OUT
port [4] as the synth is played. Set this parameter to On if you want to record MIDI data
or trigger additional external MIDI equipment from the UltraNova's keyboard via the MIDI
OUT port. However, it is important to note that MIDI data is always transmitted via USB.
RE5: Touched/Filter knob control
Displayed as:
Default value:
Range of adjustment:
This setting determines how the TOUCHED/FILTER knob [9] operates. With the default
setting of Set by Patch, the knob operates as described on page 27, either acting as a
copy of the last rotary control to be touched or, with FILTER [8] enabled, to vary the cut-off
frequency of Filter 1. Because the setting of the FILTER button is saved with the Patch
FX - COMPRESS 1/2 COMPRES1 C1Ratio
data, the function of the knob is determined by the Patch. If RE5 is set to Always Filter,
2.0
the TOUCHED/FILTER knob is set to control the ilter frequency permanently.

This control adjusts the frequencies of all the Oscillators by the same small amount,

The increments are cents (1/100 of a semitone), and thus setting the value to 50 tunes
the synth to a quarter-tone midway between two semitones. A setting of zero tunes Current O/S Transmit
