SOUND FX® PHASOR ================ INSTRUCTIONS Your Sound FX Phasor can be used to make any of the 8 programmed sounds, to play tunes or to create your own sounds. TO MAKE ANY OF THE 8 PRE-PROGRAMMED SOUNDS: Turn your Sound FX Phasor on by pressing the 'lightning' key. Sound FX Phasor will make a noise to let you know it is on and ready. Now touch any of the 8 symbol keys to hear the appropriate sound. It is not necessary to hold the button down but rather just touch the key. Holding the button down will result in a continuous sound. In the case of the racing car just touching the button once produces the reving up or starting sound. If the button is then held down a second or two later the car will drive off changing gears as it fades into the distance. The boat will sound twice, first the horn and then a few seconds after the echo back. TO PLAY MUSIC ON THE SOUND FX PHASOR: Press the 'musical note' key, pressing this key turns the 15 note keyboard on and will enable you to play tunes on your Sound FX Phasor. Use the keys marked 0-9 and A—E to play music. If desired you may use the tune cards to play any of the 12 preselected tunes. The card should be removed from the back and inserted over the keyboard, being certain to tuck the bottom of the card under the plastic slot at the top and bottom. This will hold the tune card flat on the keyboard. To play a preselected tune, follow the coding as shown on the top of the card. To remove the card, push the card so it slides out of the bottom slot first before attempting to remove the Card from the keyboard. TO CREATE YOUR OWN SOUNDS: An infinite number of sounds, and hours of fun can be had with your Sound FX Phasor by programming the computer yourself. It is possible to programme six different commands into the computer. Each of the six commands is represented by one of the letters A-F on the keyboard and will have a different effect on the sound created. It is not necessary to use all six commands. If desired only one of the commands — letters — may be programmed. To programme the computer first press the 'musical note' key. Next press the 'F' key, this is a double function key i.e. both a command key and the programme enter key. Pressing the 'F' key tells the computer you are going to programme a command. Next select a number from 0—250, press out this number on the keys AND then press one of the six command A-F. You will have now entered your first command. Observe the effect this command will have on the sound of the keyboard when you press any of the keys. If you wish to enter a second command, follow the same procedure. First press 'F' then a number between 0—250 AND then one of the remaining letter keys. Repeat this procedure until as many letters, A-F, as you like have been programmed. Remember it is not necessary to programme all six commands — letters — to create a sound. To gain experience, experiment with the effect of changing just one number/command within a programme. It is good procedure to write the number as you enter them so you will be able to programme an interesting new sound created.
