I. Welcome ! I. Welcome !
I welcome you to the community of users of The River and thanks you for your trust.
The River is the culmination of four years of work. This project would not have been possible without the unconditional support
and the unalterable patience of my family to whom I express the deepest gratitude. My thanks also go to the net community,
especially members of Anafrog Audiofanzine and for their invaluable encouragement and relevant suggestions.
I hope you take as much pleasure with The River I had in creating it and now using it.
Baloran SAS is a young and small company. I have set up a forum and a wiki to pool information, support, exchanges
and news about The River.

II. Warning - Security II. Warning - Security
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS UNIT. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANY NEED LATER.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MENTIONED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAN NOT COVER ALL CONDITIONS AND
POSSIBLE SITUATIONS. IT IS OF COURSE THAT USE OF THIS UNIT REQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTION.
The above symbols that warn of potential hazards arising from improper use of electrical appliances. The flash symbol within an
equilateral triangle indicates the presence of electrical voltages that can cause electrical shock hazards.
Never open the unit case. Do not attempt to repair the unit and no changes are made (except in the case where the manual
provides specific instructions to this effect). Contact the manufacturer or your local authorized service center for repairs or
processing.
In later life, such as electronic equipment waste, The River will be entrusted to collecting and processing waste sector.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE GROUNDED.
Do not delete the security provided by the connectors with earth or polarized. A polarized plug has a blade wider than the other.
An earthed socket includes a receptacle for equipotential bonding. If the connector provided to you does not fit into your outlet,
contact an electrician to put your installation standards.
Only use the supplied power cord, and do not use it on another device. Take care of the power cord. Do not do walk in
places where it could be twisted, crushed or trampled, mainly at the connectors. A damaged cord can easily cause an
electric shock or fire!
Before using the unit in a foreign country, check the compatibility of this equipment with the standards in force in that country by
contacting your dealer, an authorized service center or the manufacturer. Do not use and do not store the unit in locations subject
to extreme temperatures (direct sunlight, heating system), humid (bathrooms, basements flood, etc ...), exposed to rain, dust, or
subject to high levels of vibration.
Make sure that the unit is always placed on a flat, stable surface. Never install in unstable positions. Do not install the device on
foot, brackets or rack under the conditions specified by the manufacturer or sold with the equipment. If rack-use, pay attention to
prevent tipping during travel. Do not block the ventilation holes.
Ensure that no object (flammable materials, paper clips, pins) or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, alcohol, cleaning
products) enters the apparatus
In case of lightning storms or if unused, unplug from the mains. This device, whether used alone or in combination with an
amplifier or headphones can produce sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Never use high level for a long
time or in any circumstance in which is uncomfortable. If hearing loss, see a physician immediately. Only use accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
The River, User Manual PAGE 3 PAGE 3
IMPORTANT
Immediately turn the unit off, unplug the power cord and contact you as soon as your dealer, an authorized service center or
the manufacturer in the following cases: The power cord or plug has been damaged smoke or unusual odor exit the machine
Foreign objects or liquids have been accidentally introduced into the unit • The unit has been exposed to rain or moisture
The device is not working normally or degraded performance seems.
The legal guarantee of the manufacturer does not cover the service charges incurred due to a lack of knowledge regarding
the correct use of a function or characteristic (when operating as expected) not covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and
are therefore the responsibility of the owner.

The River brings together several elements that interact:
• A polyphonic analog synthesizer 8 votes, 8-channel multi-timbral (see attached block diagram).
• An effects module consisting of a triple chorus / analog flanger and a two-channel digital module for echo /
reverberation. The analog signal path is preserved throughout. Space and wealth are resulting acclaim (see
attached block diagram).
• A manager inputs / outputs, referred to herein as The Riverkey. Four independent layers (called Layer herein) provide A manager inputs / outputs, referred to herein as The Riverkey.

A multi is a "photo" full of the machine, including the manager of the channels and voices, sounds edited each channel, settings

3. Split, and arpeggio sequences 3. Split, and arpeggio sequences
Load the template 5. You watch the screen Riverkey two layers that go to channel 1, in which the eight voices are assigned. What
is the advantage of having two layers that go to the same channel rather than a single layer?
We must not forget that the Layers are customizable: transposition arpeggio / sequence etc ... A split was defined: A0 -> B4 and C5> C8
So the whole keyboard A0 -> C8 hand well to channel 1. Also, thanks to the two layers, we can define an arpeggio or
sequence on the lower keyboard and allow high free part or put another arpeggio / sequence on the upper part.
Select the layer 1: S KEY F # 4 "Layer 1". Select / run arpeggiator: S KEY G # 3 "Arpeggio" and play a chord. The arpeggio Select the layer 1: S KEY F # 4 "Layer 1".

Select / run arpeggiator: S KEY G # 3 "Arpeggio" and play a chord. The arpeggio
starts. You will find that C0 to B4 buttons to transpose (if you play a note) or redefine the arpeggio (if you play multiple notes).
The C5 to C8 keys do not affect the arpeggio because they are in the layer 2. You can play freely on the keyboard (for more info
about arpeggios, see "arpeggios").
But you can also define an arpeggio or sequence on this layer. For a sequence:
The River, User Manual PAGE 14 PAGE 14
Select the layer 1: S KEY G # 4 "Layer 2". Select the sequencer: S KEY A # 3 "Sequencer". Enable not recording not: S Select the layer 1: S KEY G # 4 "Layer 2".

So you get simultaneously an arpeggio and a sequence on an 8 voice channel.

simultaneously. We must also consider the nature of his rule when polyphony: a sound that slowly extinguished after releasing the
key (long release) require more votes even for a monophonic play. Otherwise, the new note will replace the old very quickly, and
the extinction of the previous note will be stopped abruptly ...
If you want to play one sound at a maximum polyphony, that is to say up to 8 notes simultaneously, it will be the simplest
configuration: Select channel 1 and set it all voices (all yellow buttons illuminated).
If you want to play two tones with a shared polyphony, that is to say up to four notes simultaneously for each sound, select
channel 1 and assign the first four voices, select channel 2 and set it the last four voices.
When you select a voice that is already assigned to another channel, it is removed from it.
When you add a voice channel, the sound loaded into other voice channel will be copied to this new voice.
