Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing PRO-12 ASB. You will have just as much
fun with your PRO-12 ASB as we had when developing this unique
and characteristic Synthesizer. Please read the manual thoroughly
in order to fully take advantage of the many features the PRO-12
ASB has to offer.
Introduction
From todays view the configuration of the PRO-12 ASB can be
described as classic style. Two multifunctional Oscillators are used
as sound source, which can access various waveforms - even at
the same time. The Oscillators are mixed with White Noise within
the Mixer Section, followed by the 24dB Lowpass-Filter with Reso-
nance and the Amplifier.
You will find two Envelope curves, both of them with Attack, De-
cay, Sustain and Release, which are dedicated to the Filter and
Amplifier. The Filter envelope, Oszillator B and the LFO can be
routedtodifferent Modulation targets. By using te Modulation Wheel
you will experience a lot of interesting Combinations of Modulation
Sources and Destinations, which is certainly one of the major
highlights of the PRO-12. In addition to the Original the PRO-12
was equipped with an Effects Section with Chorus/Flanger and
Delay. Not enough, we thought MIDI Clock Synchrnisation and
Aftertouch would also fit well.
Finally the PRO-12 ASB now comes with 12 voices and provides
amazing results especially in the Unisono mode.

Getting started
Making Connections
Connecting the power adaptor
To connect your PRO-12 ASB with the power supply, please use
the power adaptor coming with the PRO-12 ASB. Connect the
poweradaptortoyourPRO-12ASB.Beforeconnectingthepower
adaptor to the socket, make sure it is compatible to the power
supplysystem. Upon loss of the power supply,a standard AC or
DC 12V / 1.5 A power supply can be used as a replacement.
The connection to the PRO-12 ASB is made with a hollow plug
(5.5 mm x 2.1mm x 11.5 mm, center positive).
MIDI connections
There are two ways to play your PRO-12 ASB using MIDI:
1. Connect your PRO-12 directly to a master keyboard.
2. Connect your PRO-12 to the MIDI port found on your
computer in order to use it with a sequencer or the
PRO-12 Remote-Software.
Connect the MIDI in and out of your PRO-12 ASB with the MIDI
in and out of your keyboard or computer. The MIDI input of your
PRO-12 ASB has to be connected to the MIDI output of your
keyboard or computer and MIDI output of the PRO-12 ASB with
the MIDI input of your keyboard or computer.
The incoming MIDI signal can also control another instrument
via MIDI thru. If your computer does not have a MIDI port, you
can use the USB connection as an alternative.

Audio Connections
Inorder to obtain soundoutput,youmay either connect theMINI-
MAX ASB stereo outputs to a mixer’s inputs, computer’s inputs
or HiFi stereo input.
You can also process an external signal
byconnectinganexternalsourcetoyour
MINIMAX ASB input.
Power Switch
In order to operate the MINIMAX ASB please
turn the power switch on.
USB Connections and driver installation (Windows XP)
Rather than using MIDI to
connectyour PRO-12ASBto
a computer, you can use the
implemented USB interface.
To utilize this function, you
will need the Windows Ser-
vice Pack 2.
AfterconnectingthePRO-12
to a computer, windows will
automatically recognize the
PRO-12 ASB as an audio
USB instrument. No extra
drivers are required for this
device. You can start playing
rightaway! Afterstartingyour
sequencer program (here:
CubaseSX), you can use the USB audio instrument driver as a
MIDI port. In very few cases, you may encounter that under
older versions of Windows XP (before Service Pack 2), the USB
port will not show availability after disconnecting the PRO-12
ASB. In this case, please reboot Windows XP. After rebooting,
your USB port will show availability again.

If a small vertical line appears under the channel
number, this means the instrument receives MIDI
data on all channels (Omni-Mode). Midi data will be
sent though, on the selected channel. Without the
line, the instrument receives and sends MIDI data
on the selected channel.
