4. Operating the A-190-4

4.1. Basic Operation

When powered up, the A-190-4 idles for about one
second and is ready for operation (yes, it’s a busy bee).
This means that incoming MIDI data is converted to
analogue CVs, gate and clock signals, according to the A-
190-4’s settings. The display shows at first the current
operating software version number, e.g. ”101“. The gate
LED (7) will light up. The A-190-4 is now ready to receive
and convert MIDI data. The Reset LED (6) and the Clock-
LED (5) will light up on current MIDI activities.


Your A-190-4 features many useful options to convert
MIDI data into analogue signals. In order to allow most
easy and intuitive access to all available functions, you
will find a simple and flat menue structure that covers all
functions and parameters. Please refer to the complete
menue overview on the next two pages. Navigation within
this menue structure always works by using the same
scheme and the four buttons:

• Hit ”>/+“ and ”</–” buttons to move back and forth on

the current menue level. By doing so, you will find six
different menues plus the operation software number
in the upper menue level. Once you have reached the
last menu on the current level, you have to step back
by hitting ”</–” repeatedly. We did not implement
”round robin” menues.

• When you reached the menue you would like to work

on, please hit the ”



“ button. Now you enter the

parameter level of the desired menue.

• Hit ”>/+“ and ”</–” buttons again to move back and

forth in order to access all available parameters.
Depending on the selected menue, you will find up to
nine different parameters by doing so. Again, we did
not implement ”round robin” menues, so please use
the “</–” button to move backwards at the end of a
parameter selection.

• Hit ”



” again to enable the A-190-4 for receiving

parameter value changes.

• Hit ”>/+“ and ”</–” buttons again to alter the values of

the selected parameter. Some values are displayed in
numbers, others in abbriviations. When pressed down
continously for approx. three seconds or longer, the
value change will be accelerated.
