WELCOME
This user manual will walk you through the full set of features and capabilities of the
tangerine. If you want to get up and running quickly, take a look at the 4 page Quick Start
Guide available on the 1010music tangerine Learning Material support page.
To get started, we will walk you through the simple process of setting up the tangerine and
then make sure the version of rmware you are running is the same one covered in this
manual. Chances are there is already a newer version of the rmware than what came
installed on your unit. Upgrade now to get the latest set of features.
The User Interface Map will give you a road map to explore. Then we will cover basic preset
management so you know how to explore the sounds available and save any changes you
make. Then we can dive into playing pads, recording samples and multi-samples, looping
and further crafting your sound.
If you get stuck at any point, reach out to the community of tangerine users at
forum.1010music.com.

SETTING UP THE HARDWARE
1. Insert the microSD (1) card into the microSD card slot (2) if it’s not already inserted.
The card must be in the slot for the tangerine to boot up. The card is spring-loaded.
Push to eject when needed, but leave it in for now.
2. Connect the stereo Line Out (3) to your mixer, speakers or headphones. Be sure to
use a TRS cable to hear both channels.
3. Connect an optional MIDI controller to the MIDI IN (4) jack. TRS Type A and B are
supported for MIDI In. Type B is supported for MIDI Out. Use the included adapter (5)
to connect to controllers that use MIDI 5 Pin DIN.
4. Connect the USB power cable (6) to the USB port (7). The tangerine can be powered
by a standard 5V, 500 mA USB power adapter or USB battery. The tangerine will
start up as soon as it receives power. There is no power button.
5. Tap on the pads on the Pads Home screen, or play notes on the MIDI controller and
you’re ready to make some music!
