Members filtersweep Posted March 6, 2008 Members Share Posted March 6, 2008 Fooling with a Polar at local GC the other day. Cool instrument but I noticed that the white leds are absolutely blinding. I couldn't read the panel without using one hand to shield my eyes. Is there a way to dim those leds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted March 7, 2008 Members Share Posted March 7, 2008 There's a setting in one of the Config menus to control the brightness. Oddly enough, though, the BPM led on my Virus has always been dark, never figured out how to get it to light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, though, the BPM led on my Virus has always been dark, never figured out how to get it to light. On the TI, there's a "BPM Brightness" parameter on the same menu page (CONFIG System 3/6) as the "LED Lux" parameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know, and I've got it maxed out at 100%. Turning it down affects the LFO LEDS, but the BPM LED never, ever blinks. I see there's an LED between the Sub Osc Volume and Osc Volume knobs in the middle of the Virus logo, too. That LED has never ever lit, either. What's it for?

Members CO622 Posted March 7, 2008 Members Share Posted March 7, 2008 Great board, looks good, but man is it pricy! I fiddled with on at GC last weekend and liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members synthetica Posted March 8, 2008 Members Share Posted March 8, 2008 That LED between sub-osc and osc vol tells you when a knob turn or parameter is back at the saved patch value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
