Rotate the breath controller OFFSET trimmer slowly clockwise, using the

supplied screwdriver, until the vertical cursors above and below the curve graph

move slightly to the right and the number below the graph is greater that “0”. Then

slowly rotate the trimmer carefully counter-clockwise until the number below the

graph just reaches “0” (the cursors will be lined up with the left end of the graph),

then stop.

6.

Adjust the Breath Controller Gain

Place the breath controller mouthpiece in your mouth and blow — notice that

the cursors move to right and the number below the graph increases according to

how hard you blow. Adjust the breath controller GAIN trimmer so that you can

comfortably vary your breath pressure between 0 and 127 on the graph. This com-

pletes the gain adjustment.

7.

Readjust the Offset If Necessary

If adjusting the gain causes the offset setting to shift, readjust the offset as

described in step 5.

At this point you can use the “

Curve Type

” parameter to select the curve

type that best suits your playing style.

8.

Return to the Play Mode

Press the P button to return to the PLAY mode.
