RETROSKOI+ USER REFERENCE EDITING PATCHES Hold down either Shift key to edit sound parameters. Shift Lock works too. Release Shift to play notes and hear your edits in action. Shift + A-P to select parameter. Shift + 1-9 to change the parameter value. Shift + <- (arrow left), then Shift + 1-9 or A-P to load a patch. Shift + =, then Shift + 1-9 to store your patch. The extended slots A-P are always preset sounds. You can store your own patches only to locations 1-9. Patches are stored in RAM, so they are gone when you next time boot up the synthesizer. If you need to recall your own sounds just write down all the parameters on a piece of paper (A2 B3 C5 D1, etc. :) PARAMETER TABLE Retroskoi Plus is a 2-oscillator monophonic synth for Commodore 64. This enhanced Plus version exclusive to the RGCD Redrunner & Greenrunner cartridge comes with additional preset sounds, a wider keyboard range and full PAL/NTSC compatibility. PRESETS Press and hold SHIFT, then press <- followed by 1-9 or A-P to load presets. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Synth Lead Smooth Tap Transistor Organ Synth Brass Ringmod Bell Fat Octave Bass Inca Fifth Sweep Pad Snowstorm A B C D E F G H I Resonance Bass Sawtooth Sweep Solid Round Synth Muted Bass Membrane Discovery Power Chord Beautiful Synth Big Drum J K L M N O P Popcorn Percussion Hoover Bass Synth Vox Pure Pulse Mod Sawtooth Lead Dream Triangle Some presets may sound a little harsh or distorted on older SID chips. Maybe that's exactly what you want, but if it isn't try changing the Resonance parameter (P) to a lower value of 1-3. After getting used to it you can edit sounds even without using a monitor.
