SCHALTWERK is a professional tool for generating
pattern-based musical structures. It is an input and controlling instrument for rhythmic
trigger patterns, arpeggios, analog sequences, chord triggers and other rhythmic
structures whereby all functions are available simultaneously. The real time access to all
8 tracks predestinates SCHALTWERK for improvisation and live events. The main features
are:
- 8 track pattern sequencer with MIDI
- 16 CV- and 8 Gate outputs
- controls for each track: 16 buttons and LEDs
- setting/resetting of steps by pressing the
corresponding button while the pattern is running, resulting in lively structures
changeable in real time
- display of the active steps and the actual step
- mute/demute track by a dedicated mute button for
each track
- MIDI-note or controller event, master note, master
velocity, prescale, note length, delay, MIDI channel and last step (for uneven measures)
independently programmable for each track
- for each single step note and velocity are
programmable or may be recorded from an external MIDI keyboard (analog sequencer mode)
- in combination with incoming MIDI-notes each track
may alternatively work as an arpeggiator, chord trigger or gater (combined with the
possibility to turn each step on or off)
- 128 patterns (1 Pattern = 8 tracks of 16 steps)
- fast selection of patterns with 32 pattern and 4
pattern bank buttons with LEDs
- creation of pattern-links (1-2/1-2-3-4), i.e. track
expansion to 32 or 64 steps
- 16 songs, each song has 128 steps for pattern number
and number of repetitions of the pattern
- fast selection of songs with 8 song buttons and 2
song bank buttons with LEDs
- copy, move, clear, load, save tracks, patterns and
songs
- save all informations via MIDI SysEx
- synchronisation (internal/external) via MIDI-Clock
- record function: realtime recording of certain
actions similiar to a software sequencer
- transposition of sequences via MIDI notes
- 2 separate MIDI inputs, 2 separate MIDI outputs,
DIN-SYNC (Roland compatible) input or output
- light grey 19" case, 8 height units
- 184 LEDs (standard: red,
blue series: blue), 208 buttons, 2-line LC-display, alpha-dial
for data input
- optically similiar to Regelwerk, MAQ16/3, A-100,
MCV24, MS-404 ....
