USER MANUAL

Configuration and usage of the Bitstream 3X

The Ribbon Controller

The Bitstream 3X is equipped with a ribbon controller allowing control from the user finger. This control

is, from the point of view of functionality, considered like a slider or button, and thus it is configured in

the same manor, and is capable of generating any MIDI event.

The ribbon controller

calculates the position of the

user finger, and transforms

that position into a value

between 0-127, assignable in

a MIDI event. The user can

put his finger above the

controller and see the

«ribbon bar graph » which

will adjust according the

movements of the finger.

The MIDI will thus be generated automatically.

The « Hold » Key allows the temporary saving of an ribbon value with a simple touch. In this way, any

value of the ribbon controller can be saved and then modified again later at any moment. This hold key

allows the user to fix the ribbon controller to a desired value before relaxing his hand from the

machine.

This key also works as the on/off switch for the controller (3 seconds long push). The LCD screen

shows whether the controller is on or off.

To use the ribbon controller, follow these steps:

- Put your finger above the controller, which will generate the MIDI events associated with the

controller.

- When a desired position is reached, push the « Hold » button and the value will be saved

(temporarily).

- You can then remove your hand and see the saved value appear on the bar graph on the LCD

screen.

- Upon the next usage of the ribbon Controller, you can get back the saved value with the

« Hold » button and re-generate the MIDI events assigned to the controller. This mode

functions similar to the « Hook » mode used by the sliders.
