PROGRAM CONTROLS
The Program Control buttons access the Miniak's four different modes: Programs, Rhythms, Sequences,
and Multi. Press one of the buttons to enter its mode. Then spin the DATA DIAL for different sounds.
10. PROGRAMS: Programs are the heart of the Miniak – its lead, bass, drum, pad, and other virtual analog
sounds. To jump to a Program category, hold down the [PROGRAMS] button while pressing the
appropriate white key on the keyboard. The "recent" category remembers the most recent Programs
you've used. Add a Program to the "faves" category by pressing the DATA DIAL twice.
11. RHYTHMS: Drum grooves comprised of one or more drum sounds, each playing its own rhythm. Play
the left side of the keyboard to hear the complete groove. Trigger individual drums using the keys on
the right side.
12. SEQUENCES: Melodic passages that you can compose and then trigger chromatically, beginning on
any key.
13. MULTI: The Miniak's most powerful and sophisticated mode, simultaneously combining multiple
programs, rhythms, sequences, and more into powerful and expressive combinations.
DATA & VOLUME CONTROLS
14. DATA DIAL: This dial can also be used to increment and decrement values and settings.
15. VOLUME KNOB: Adjusts the Miniak's master volume level.
16. [CONFIG]: The Miniak's configuration options. Global transposition and tuning, keyboard velocity
curve, MIDI settings, and more.
17. [STORE]: The [STORE] button lights when you have made edits. Press it to save your changes.
18. LCD: The display is used for navigating menus, displaying data, and affecting change on Miniak's
options and parameters.
