INTRODUCTIONMASTEREDIT CURSOR DATAPOWERVOLUMEPHONESC01 Vol127 Pan P1068 vox:JaxvoxBEATSHOME/ENTERMIDIORBITING THE DANCE PLANET - V2The Dance Planet is a cool place to be. With over 600 of the earth’smost cutting edge samples and the introduction of new rhythmicfeatures, Orbit V2 blasts its way to the forefront as the dance musicmachine.Orbit features 32 voices of polyphony, 640 presets (384 ROM, 256RAM), and is 16 part multi-timbral. Edit and tweak Orbit’s sounds theway you like them by using its powerful filters, MIDI synced LFO’s,and MIDIpatch modulation system. If that’s not enough, Orbit isequipped with plenty of user-editable “beats”. These drum loops aren’tgoing to sound like everybody else, Orbit gives you the flexibility toalter them to fit your style.Orbit also gives you the ability to literally take these sounds apart andreassemble them into a limitless number of entirely new sounds,combining parts of one sound with another or with any of a selectionof digital waveforms also stored in ROM. The dynamic multimode andmorphing filters allow you to shape and mold your sound into newdimensions. And creating your own sounds is easy, thanks to Orbit'slogical user interface.Other features include 3 stereo outputs for individually processingsounds (also configurable as 6 polyphonic submixes with fully programmable dynamic panning), integral sends and returns to allow theaddition of external effects units without the need for a separatemixer, user definable alternate tuning, and of course, an extensiveMIDI implementation.In addition, when coupled with E-mu's Launchpad Performance Controller, Orbit becomes a self-contained interactive groove machine for thestage or studio. Check it out.All of us at E-mu hope you have as much fun making music with Orbitas we had making it. And we can't wait to hear the music YOU makeusing it.Chapter 1: Basic Setup3
ORBIT ARCHITECTUREOrbit is organized as shown in the diagram e Preset is a complete set of all program parameters for a completeOrbit sound. The fully programmable user presets and the unalterableROM presets are organized into five banks of 128 presets each.Bank01234Contents128 RAM Presets128 RAM Presets128 ROM Presets128 ROM Presets128 ROM PresetsBANKS 0 & 1USER PRESETSBANKS 2 - 4ROM PRESETSEach preset consists of one or more instruments. An instrument is acomplete set of samples or a digital waveform which covers the entirekeyboard range. An instrument can be assigned to each of the Primaryand Secondary layers of the preset. User Presets can bemoved, erased or modified asdesired. ROM Presets cannot bemoved or altered unless theyare first copied to a userlocation.The primary and secondary layers are essentially two complete soundsstacked or placed adjacent to each other, which can be switched orcrossfaded together in various ways.Up to four presets can be Linked in order to have more than one preseton the keyboard at a time. The linked presets may overlap each otherfor layered sounds or be adjacent to each other to create SECONDARY4Orbit V2 Operation Manual

In order to reproduceits wide dynamic range and frequency response, use a high quality amplification and speaker system such as a keyboard amplifieror home stereo system. A stereo setup is highly desirable becauseof the added realism of stereophonic sound. Headphones can beused if an amplifier and speaker system is not available. Plugstereo headphones into the headphone jack located on the leftside of the front panel. The Right Main output jack serves as amono output when the Left Main plug is not plugged in.Chapter 1: Basic Setup5

Thetip of each jack (accessed when a standard phone plug is inserted)connects to the left or right output of that group.Chapter 1: Basic Setup7
CONNECTIONSIf a stereo plug is inserted, the Ring of the stereo plug serves as a signalReturn which sums into the Main outputs.Therefore, the Sub 1 and Sub 2 jacks can serve as effect sends andreturns in order to further process selected instruments and thenreturn them to the main mix.The diagram shows the Sub 1 and Sub 2 jacks being used as send/returns in order to further process selected Orbit presets without usingthe effects bus on the mixing board. In a pinch, the effect returnscould also be used to sum additional instruments into the mainoutputs.

of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around it. Gravity also keeps other bodies in orbit, such as moons. Moons most often orbit a planet, but even a large space rock (asteroid) can hold a small moon in orbit due to the gravitational pull between the two objects. Gravity also holds the rock and ice that make up Saturn’s rings in orbit .
