# 7.6 EDITING PARAMETERS

7. QUICK START
Press [TEMPO] to open the TEMPO menu, where you can adjust the BPM and SWING settings. Use
DATA ENTRY knob A or LEVEL/DATA to change the tempo. Pressing the knob while turning it chang­
es the tempo eight BPM at a time. Use [UP]/[DOWN] or DATA ENTRY knob B to change the tempo in
decimal steps. To tap a tempo setting, hold [FUNC] and tap the [TEMPO] key in a steady rhythm. After
four consecutive taps the average tempo of the taps will be calculated. By continuing to tap, the average
tempo will keep updating. On the main interface screen, you can also press and hold the [ARROW] keys
[LEFT] or [RIGHT] to temporarily nudge the tempo up or down by 10%. Release the key to revert to the
original tempo.
•	 Nudging the tempo is very handy when manually syncing Tonverk to a turntable or an
external sound source. Note that you do not need to be in the TEMPO menu to nudge
the tempo.
•	 If Tonverk is set to receive MIDI clock from an external source, the display will show
“MIDI” above the BPM on the screen. The BPM can’t then be changed on the Tonverk.

Use DATA ENTRY knob D to adjust the SWING setting of the pattern, to employ a propulsive, rhythmic
groove. The swing ratio can be set to 50-80%. The default setting is equal spacing, 50%.
Press [NO] to close the menu.
7.5.2 METRONOME
The metronome settings control the internal metronome of Tonverk. Press [TEMPO] to open the TEMPO
menu. Use the DATA ENTRY knobs E-H to change the settings.
Press [NO] to close the menu.
METRO activates/deactivates the metronome. You can also press [FUNC] + [KEYBOARD F#1] to tog­
gle the metronome on/off even if you are not in the METRONOME menu.
SIG. sets the note and beat measure of the metronome time signature.
PREROLL sets the number of bars the metronome will sound before the sequencer starts playing.
This setting is only relevant when you are in LIVE RECORDING mode.
GAIN sets the volume of the metronome’s click.
7.6 EDITING PARAMETERS
Each track makes use of up to six parameter page groups, each containing a number of pages. Press
[PARAMETER PAGE] keys TRIG, SRC, FLTR, AMP, FX, and MOD to access the different PARAMETER page
groups. These parameters affect the sound and signal in various ways.
1.	 Make sure a pattern is playing.
2.	 Press [TRK] + [TRIG 1–16] to select a track. Select track 1–8 to get more audible results from the
parameter editing.
3.	 To change, for example, the cutoff of the filter, press the [FLTR] key to open the FILTER page.
The parameter labeled FREQ changes the cutoff of the filter. Turn DATA ENTRY knob E to change
the parameter value, and hear how the sound is affected.
Try out the remaining PARAMETER page parameters to explore a range of sound-shaping possibilities.

8.1 TRIG KEYS
The [TRIG] keys have several uses, including, for example, triggering an audio/MIDI track from the active
pattern. They can also be used for placing trigs in the RECORDING modes. When pressed in combination
with the [PTN] and [SONG] keys, they select patterns and songs. The [TRIG] keys light up to indicate the
position of placed trigs and to indicate the chosen bank and track.
8.2 ROTARY ENCODERS
The MAIN VOLUME, LEVEL/DATA and DATA ENTRY knobs are relative encoders which may be spun any
number of turns. Pressing and turning the DATA ENTRY knobs, will change their associated values at a
greater speed.
8.3 KEY BEHAVIOR
As a group, the track selection keys (the [TRIG] keys) have radio button functionality, i.e. when a new track
is set to be active, the previous one is simultaneously deactivated. Only one track can be selected at a time.
Likewise, the group consisting of the six [PARAMETER PAGE] keys also has radio button functionality.
8.4 MIDI NOTES AND MESSAGES
Some functions can be triggered by sending MIDI note values from an external MIDI device (a MIDI key­
board or a computer, for example) connected to Tonverk via a MIDI or USB cable.
The 128 notes in the standard MIDI range (0-127) all trigger the preset of the active track in its chromatic
variations (as if played by the [KEYBOARD] keys (see section below), from lowest to highest pitch.
The subtracks are triggered over MIDI using these note values: 60, 62, 64, 65, 67, 69, 71, and 72.
MIDI program change messages 0–127 will select pattern 1–128 (A01–H16) on Tonverk. Additionally, MIDI CC
and NRPN messages can be sent to control various aspects of Tonverk. For more information, please see
“APPENDIX D: MIDI” on page 118.
8.5 THE [KEYBOARD]
You can use the [KEYBOARD] keys to play the preset of the active audio track (or send MIDI notes with a
MIDI SRC machine selected). Press [TRK] + [TRIG 1–12] keys to select the track you want to play.
Press the lit trig keys to play different notes. The whole note range you can trigger spans 11 octaves (. You
can transpose the keyboard up or down 5 octaves from the middle octave. Press [+]/[−] to transpose the
virtual keyboard up or down in octave steps. Press [+] + [−] to reset the transpose to 0.
Notes triggered can be recorded on the sequencer in LIVE RECORDING mode. Find out how this is done in
section “10.4 LIVE RECORDING MODE” on page 41.
•	 The [KEYBOARD] keys do not play the preset chromatically if a Subtracks SRC ma­
chine is selected for the active track. Instead, the [KEYBOARD C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, A1, B1,
and C2] keys trigger the eight separate subtracks.
•	 If you press [TRIG 9–16] to select a Bus/SendFX/Mix track without first pressing and
holding [TRK], you can still use the [KEYBOARD] to play the previously selected audio
track. Selecting the same Bus/SendFX/Mix track track again toggles editing back to
the audio track.
8.5.1 CHORD/SCALE SETUP MENU
Press [CHORD] to open the CHORD/SCALE SETUP menu. Here you get a graphical view of which notes
the [TRIG] keys play. These settings then affect how you add notes/chords using the [TRIG] keys to the
sequencer in the LIVE RECORDING mode. Press [+]/[−] or [UP]/[DOWN] to transpose the keyboard
up or down an octave. Press [+] + [−] to reset the transpose to 0. In this menu, you can also set differ­
ent musical scales, select the root note of the scale, and select the chord mode. Use the DATA ENTRY
knobs to change the settings. Press [CHORD] or [NO] to exit the CHORD/SCALE SETUP menu. The
settings are stored in the active pattern.

Chunks share pages with neighboring sections; text before/after the section heading belongs to the adjacent sections.
