If the Expander 80 ever displays 4c at switch on, this means the
internal backup battery has gone.
Parameter 94 – not shown on the panel, this selects the Pedal
destination, 1: modulation trigger, 2:Program Up, 3: Sequencer Start/Stop
(OK – the manual does mention this)
Parameter 95 selects the sequencer playing destination, 0: Internal
Sound Engine, 1: External MIDI output
Parameter 96 turns the metronome on, 0: Off, 1: On
MIDI Controller 65 is the Manual LFO trigger control, this is a hang
over from the DK80 keyboard version, that had a trigger switch (rather
than a mod wheel). Controller 65 is usually the second pedal function
(although perhaps the standard controller CC1 would have made more sense –
never mind…..)
The Expander 80 also responds to controller 125 (Omni On), controller
124 (Omni Off) and controller 123 (All Notes Off).
The three envelopes share the same timings, the Attack and Decay times
are variable from 30mS to 6 seconds.
The two LFO’s share the same spec as well, both ranging from 0.25Hz at
it’s slowest to 10Hz fastest. The delay time variable from zero to 1.5
seconds. The LFO trigger mode is always Single (the Trigger Mode parameter
74 does not affect the LFO trigger). The LFO’s are not key synced, so free
run at all times. In case your curious, here is the LFO speed reference:
LFO Frequency Setting | LFO Frequency |
0 | 0.25 Hz |
1 | 0.5 Hz |
2 | 0.75 Hz |
3 | 1.25 Hz |
4 | 1.5 Hz |
5 | 2 Hz |
6 | 2.5 Hz |
7 | 3 Hz |
8 | 3.5 Hz |
9 | 4 Hz |
10 | 4.5 Hz |
11 | 5 Hz |
12 | 6 Hz |
13 | 6.5 Hz |
14 | 8 Hz |
15 | 10 Hz |
