<\/div>\n\n\n\nDownload and install SYNTHTRIBE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
On your computer, go to the Behringer Products page<\/a>. Under “Synthesizers and Keyboards,” select your model, and go to its individual product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click Downloads<\/strong>, and see if there are links for the Windows and Mac versions of the Synthtribe app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don’t see it, at the time of this writing you can find Synthtribe on the Behringer JN-80 product page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Select the most recent version. Download and install it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to use Behringer SYNTHTRIBE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The available options in the app depend on the features in your particular Behringer synth. For example, some models may have a built-in sequencer, while others don’t. Consult the owner’s manual for your product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To begin with, connect your synth to your Mac or Windows PC using a USB data cable. Then launch the Synthtribe app, which will recognize that your synth is connected.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nGeneral<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The General <\/strong>tab is where you’ll change global settings within your synth. This includes options like the default MIDI channel, the semitones of the Pitch Bend, and Key Priority. The factory reset option is self-explanatory, but the others play a more significant role in how the synth behaves.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nMIDI Channel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
When the option is enabled, your synth’s MIDI channel will be determined by the unit’s dip switches. When disabled, it will override the dip switch settings, and you can change the MIDI channel through your computer.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nPitch Bend<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The pitch bend option is for adjusting the range of the pitch bend. When set to Fixed<\/em>, the pitch bend range is 12 semitones. When set to Settable<\/em>, you can then select the semitone manually. The larger the change, the larger the pitch bend range will be. However, the smaller the change, the smaller the range will be.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey Priority<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
For monophonic synths, you may wish to change the Key Priority:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n- Low Note Priority<\/strong>: The lowest-played note takes priority over notes held above.<\/li>
- High Note Priority<\/strong>: The highest-played note takes priority over notes held below.<\/li>
- Last Note Priority<\/strong>: The last note played takes priority over notes held above and below it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nMIDI Transpose<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
When you update the MIDI Transpose setting, you\u2019ll be updating the \u201cpitch\u201d MIDI IN channel. This means you\u2019ll be shifting the position of the note range by one semitone at a time. For example, if it\u2019s set to 0<\/strong>, then the note range will be from C to C. If the MIDI IN transpose is set to 3<\/strong>, then the note range will be D to D.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nMulti Trigger<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Turning the Multi Trigger Off<\/em> means that only one note will trigger at a time. So if you try and play a chord, just one note will play. If you set it to On<\/em>, you\u2019ll be able to trigger multiple MIDI notes at once.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nMIDI Note Zero Volts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Before MIDI was used, synthesizers utilized control voltage<\/a> (CV) to trigger notes. When you\u2019re updating this, you\u2019re changing the root note when connecting a controller via the CV jacks. For more information, check out our article about playing an analog synth without MIDI<\/a>!
