Use the following procedure: <\/p>\n<p>0. Press PATCH in the DISPLAY section. <br \/>1. Press PART SELECT and use the PART SELECT buttons to select Part 1. <br \/>2. Use the VALUE dial to select Patch &#8220;P:A054 Sine Tone.&#8221; <br \/>3. Hold the D-BEAM CONTROLLER SELECT button and use the VALUE dial to select &#8220;26:Note+Bend [A4].&#8221; <br \/>4. Press the D-BEAM CONTROLLER ON\/OFF button so it is lit. This will activate the D-Beam. <br \/>5. Move your hand at various distances over the D-Beam Controller to utilize the Note+Bend effect. <br \/>Next, we will improve the sound of our Theramin by increasing the range of the pitch change: <\/p>\n<p>7. Hold EDIT and press KEY PAD 14. <br \/>8. Use the PAGE < \/ > buttons to select &#8220;BEND: Bend Down.&#8221; <br \/>9. Use the VALUE dial to set the bend down range to &#8220;-48.&#8221; <br \/>10. If desired, press WRITE and save the edited Patch to an empty USER Patch location. <br \/>Now, the D-Beam will smoothly change the pitch of Part 1 over a range of five octaves. <\/p>\n<p>Tip: Feel free to try patches other than P:A054 Sine Tone as directed in step 3 on the previous page. For best results, select a sound with long sustain characteristics such as the lead synth patches found in presets P:A000-P:A064. <\/p>\n<p>Tip: Assigning the D-Beam contoller to functions other than the three factory types is a temporary setting that is not stored after you turn off the power. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34660],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33684],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the Using the Adlib Function page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/adlib-function\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Using the Adlib Function - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The D-Beam can be made to emulate to sound of a Theramin (a unique instrument that is played by waving your hands near two metal antennas) by using the Adlib control type.
