5. セットアップ
5.1 コンピュータへの接続（USB）
- コンピューターの電源がオンになっていることを確認します。
- Connect one end of the supplied USB cable to the USB port on the rear panel of the Origin 37.
- USB ケーブルのもう一方の端をコンピューターの使用可能な USB ポートに接続します。
- The Origin 37 is USB class-compliant and does not require special drivers for most operating systems (PC/Mac). It will be powered via the USB connection.
- Turn on the Origin 37 using the Power button on the front panel.
- Your computer should automatically recognize the device. You can then select it as a MIDI input device in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) or music software (e.g., Ableton Live).
5.2 Connecting to External MIDI Devices (MIDI OUT)
- Ensure both the Origin 37 and the external MIDI device are powered off.
- Connect a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from the "KEYBOARD MIDI OUT" port on the Origin 37 to the MIDI IN port of your external MIDI device (e.g., synthesizer, sound module).
- Power on the Origin 37, then power on your external MIDI device.
- Configure your external MIDI device to receive MIDI data on the appropriate MIDI channel.
5.3 サスティンペダルの接続
- Connect a standard 1/4-inch TS (mono) sustain pedal (not included) to the "Sustain Switch" input on the rear panel.
- The pedal will function as a sustain control for your MIDI notes.
6. 操作手順
6.1 基本操作
- 演奏キー: Simply press the keys to send MIDI note-on/note-off messages to your connected software or hardware. The keys are velocity-sensitive, meaning the harder you press, the higher the velocity value sent.
- ピッチベンドホイール： Move the wheel up or down to bend the pitch of currently held notes. It automatically returns to the center position.
- モジュレーションホイール： Move the wheel to apply modulation effects. This wheel typically stays in the position you leave it. The specific effect controlled depends on your software or hardware instrument's settings.
- サステインボタン: Press to toggle sustain on or off. When active, notes will continue to sound after the key is released, similar to a piano's sustain pedal.
- オクターブアップ/ダウン: Use these buttons to transpose the entire keyboard up or down in octave increments. The LED display will indicate the current octave shift.
- Program Up/Down: These buttons are used to send MIDI Program Change messages, allowing you to switch between different sounds or presets on your connected MIDI device or software.
6.2 Assigning Knobs and Sliders
The 8 knobs and 9 sliders are assignable MIDI controllers. They send MIDI Control Change (CC) messages. The specific CC number each knob/slider sends can be configured. Refer to your software's or hardware's manual for how to map these CC messages to parameters.
To assign a knob or slider:
- を押す MIDI/Select button to enter configuration mode.
- 使用 データ入力 slider or オクターブアップ/ダウン buttons to navigate through parameters on the LED display.
- Select the desired knob or slider to assign.
- Adjust the value (e.g., MIDI CC number) using the データ入力 スライダー。
- プレス MIDI/Select again to exit configuration mode and save changes.
Note: Specific assignment procedures may vary. Consult the detailed MIDI implementation chart (if available) or your DAW's manual for advanced mapping.
6.3 Data Entry and Display
The LED display provides visual feedback for various settings and parameters. The データ入力 slider is primarily used to adjust numerical values shown on this display, such as MIDI channel, CC numbers, or program numbers during configuration.
7. メンテナンス
- クリーニング： Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface of the unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents.
- ストレージ： When not in use for extended periods, store the controller in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- 取り扱い： ユニットを落としたり、強い衝撃を与えたりしないでください。
- 力： Always disconnect the USB cable when the unit is not in use or during electrical storms.
8。 トラブルシューティング
| 問題 | 考えられる原因 | 解決 |
|---|---|---|
