### Permament encoder functions
The __VOLUME__ encoder always has the following functions - no matter where you are in the menus:
* __Turn left/right__: Change the volume. The volume-change-screen appears when turing and disapears after a short time and you get back, where you left off.
* __Turn left/right__: Change the volume (MIDI-CC 7). The volume-change-screen appears when turing and disapears after a short time and you get back, where you left off.
* __Long-Press__: A MIDI panic is triggered and all voices are muted.
* __Short-Press__: Back (from the selected menu-item or up to the parrent menu)

MD can manage 100 banks (0-99) and 32 voices per bank, if you turn the mouse over the 32 voices, the first voice of the next bank will be loaded automatically (if possible). This happens the same way if you go lower than voice number 1.
To switch between voice and bank selection, the preset encoder must be pressed for a long time.
Next to the bank name is the symbol for the active engine. As described above, we use the *mono-timbral* engine for this manual, so the display next to it has a key symbol and is therefore not available. In this case we can not switch between the two instances by pressing the preset encoder.
If a MIDI note is detected, a note symbol is displayed below the corresponding instance as long as this note is active.
When the voice is changed, MD sends a voice dump in the background via MIDI SYSEX on its selected MIDI channel. This has the advantage that external devices (like a voice editor on a PC) synchronize the data directly.
To enter the menus, the volume encoder must be operated.

###### (Stereo) Reverb (Master effect)
The reverb is a port of the freeverb. With the *mono-timbral* engine the parameter *Reverb Send* seems to be superfluous and can be set to 100. But if you use the *dual-timbral* version, you can set the amount of reverb send for each of the two sound generators separately. The reverb can only be heard when the roomzize and level, as well as *Reverb Send* are greater than 0.

##### Controller
The controller section is responsible for the settings of the different midi controllers.
###### Pitchbend
The pitchbend influences the pitch enhancement. The range specifies the maximum number of half notes by which the pitch is changed when the pitchbend wheel is activated (0=off). Step specifies the number of steps to reach the target pitch, where 0 means a smooth, almost inaudible change.
Parameter:
* Range (0-12)
* Step (0-12)
###### Other controllers (Modulation wheel/Aftertouch/Foot contoller/Breath controller)
The other MIDI controllers all have the same modification possibilities. The allocation of modulation can affect different destinations: PITCH (pitch envelope), AMP (loudness envelope), EG (TBD: What is a good explanation of this?). It is possible to specify targets or any combination of targets but to be able to hear an effect, the voice must be configured accordingly.

##### MIDI

###### MIDI Channel
This influences on which midi channel MD reacts. A channel between 1 and 16 can be selected. Alternatively OMNI can be selected if data should be received on each MIDI channel.
###### Lowest/Highest note
You can also restrict the range to which NOten MD should react. This allows split and/or dual configurations with the *dual-timbral* engine or mehewren MD devices.
###### Send voice
The currently configured voice can be sent via MIDI SYSEX, for example to edit it in an external editor or use it on another MD.
#### Setup
The setup menu contains all other parameters that are necessary for this voice.
