AKAI SYNTHSTATION STUDIO
QUICK NOTES
On almost every page of SynthStation Studio, you can find the MENU button in the
upper left-hand corner and the TRANSPORT tab in the upper right-hand corner.
MENU: Opens the Main Menu where you can select any page within the app.
TRANSPORT: Reveals the transport controls (touch anywhere outside the
TRANSPORT tab to hide it again):
BACK: Scans back through the current Song/Sequence.
STOP: Stops playback of the current Song/Sequence. You can "double-tap" the
STOP button to jump to the beginning of the current Sequence.
PLAY: Starts playback of the current Song/Sequence.
FORWARD: Scans forward through the current Song/Sequence.
DRUM / SYNTH 1 / SYNTH 2 / SYNTH 3: Selects that part of the
Song/Sequence for playback/editing.
Note: When the DRUM part is selected, certain features in the app will be
disabled because they do not apply to the drums. These include the Synth Edit
Page controls, the X/Y controls, and inapplicable faders on the Perform Page.
To adjust the position of sliders/faders, touch anywhere along the fader line to make
it "jump" to that point or touch and slide a fader to adjust it.
To adjust the position of knobs, touch the knob and slide up or down. Double-tapping
a knob will either reset it to the center position (if that is its default position) or make it
jump to the maximum level.
