OS installation package includes factory default values predefined for instant use. However expert users can

The System parameters are divided in three sub-groups:
• Global Parameters Global ParametersGlobal Parameters
Global Parameters define basic functions of SAVVY: MIDI channel for communication, tone number display
format, LED brightness, etc.

The system parameters differ for each instrument operational system (OS). Detailed description of each OS, including default setting, is listed in

Instrument parameters define MIDI CCs numbers assigned to the tone parameters of an instrument. These
include:
• Individual tone parameters Individual tone parametersIndividual tone parameters
Individual tone parameters -

-
MIDI CCs assigned to control individual tone parameters.
• Modifiers ModifiersModifiers
Modifiers - MIDI CCs assigned to tone modifications controls (+/- offsets), that affect more tone parameters
simultaneously accordingly to the fixed algorithms. The tone is not affected in the middle position (i.e. value
64).
• Macros MacrosMacros
Macros – MIDI CCs assigned to macro functions that simplify control of more tone parameters simultaneously
(e.g. all Envelopes timing simultaneous control, etc.).
• Random functions Random functionsRandom functions
Random functions - MIDI CC assigned to intelligent random functions set random values of selected tone
parameters.
Each instrument OS uses factory predefined set of the MIDI CCs. For a complete list of used MIDI CCs see the
Manual Supplement for your Instrument.
Remarks:
Remarks:Remarks:
Remarks:
- Factory predefined MIDI CCs assignment can be changed by user (e.g. to use your modern Virtual analogue
synthesizer to control a vintage instrument - Clavia instruments Nord Leads, A1
3
etc. use MIDI CC #74 for
Filter Cutoff and #42 for Filter Resonance. If you set the user parametr map for Cutoff and Resonance to CCs
#74 and #42, you can use your Nord to control the cutoff and resonance parameters of your vintage
instrument).
- The same MIDI CC can be assigned to more parameters / functions at once for a simultaneous control.
-
The parameters / functions may not be assigned to a MIDI CC. To exclude the parameter from the MIDI CC
control assign CC number 127.
-
It is recommended to avoid the use of standard MIDI CCs (e.g. 1: Modulation Wheel, 7: Volume, 64: Hold,
etc.). If any of these standard MIDI CCs is assigned to a parameter / function, it controls the parameter /
function and is no longer transmitted to the instrument as a standard MIDI CC!
- Values of all assigned CCs can be in full range 0 to 127. SAVVY automatically converts the values to required
range of assigned tone parameters if necessary.

Nord Lead and A1 are trademarks of Clavia Digital Musical Instruments AB, Sweden. Check the respective produc t manuals for the list of
transmitted MIDI CCs.

SAVVY has its own independent memory bank for storing the tones (sounds). The tone data include all
individual instrument parameters and values of offset Modifiers.
The number of available memory locations for single tones is different for each Instrument OS profile

. In
general, for the synthesizers with less tone parameters, SAVVY can store more tones a vice versa. However the
SAVVY´s memory capacity is much larger than the instrument´s internal or cartridge memory banks.

The detailed description of available parameters and assigned MIDI CCs is described in Manual Supplements for individual supported instruments.
The map of MIDI CCs is defined with maximum effort on unification, so you can use the same controller mapping for various instruments. However
the map can be user changed (e.g. to use your modern virtual analog synthesizer to control your vintage instrument).

ERROR STATUS INDICATION
In some extreme cases, an error can occur during the device operation. In such case, the device stops its
operation and user is informed about the error status by “E.xx
E.xxE.xx
E.xx” symbols on display where “xx
xxxx
xx” specifies the
error type (number) – see table 1.

E.11 Input MIDI Buffer Overflow Turn the device off and then on again or set “MIDI
Errors Auto Reset” global parameter to On Possible
E.12 Output MIDI Buffer Overflow Turn the device off and then on again or set “MIDI
Errors Auto Reset” global parameter to On Possible
Errors E.11 and E.12 do not allow correct processing of incoming and outgoing MIDI data. Further steps depend
on “MIDI Errors Auto Reset“ system global parameter setting (see chapter 1.3.1): If the parameter is “On“, the
device resets automatically and returns to normal working mode. If the parameter is “Off“, it is necessary to
turn the device off and on again.
If an error occurs during an operational system loading, the loading procedure is interrupted and the error
number is indicated on the display (see table 2). In that case, press button and repeat whole loading
procedure.
