OVERVIEW

Thank you from us at MFB.

First of all we would like to thank you for purchasing Tanzbär. We appreciate your choice

very much and hope you will have lots of fun with your new instrument.

What is Tanzbär (”Dancing Bear”)?

Tanzbär is a drum computer, featuring a real, analog sound generation and a very sophis-

ticated, pattern-based step sequencer. It sports some advaced circuitry of the MFB drum

units MFB-522 and MFB-503, as well as some features that are completely new to MFB

instruments.

What exactly is going on inside Tanzbär? This is a brief overview of its functions:

Sound generation:

• 17 drum instruments with up to 8 tweakable and storable parameters.

• Level pots on all drum instruments, plus master volume (not storable).

• Individual outs (in pairs except claps).

• Simple synthesizer with one parameter each for lead and bass sounds.

Sequencer:

• 144 patterns (on 3 sets resp. 9 banks).

• 14 tracks triggering the drum instruments.

• 2 tracks for programming note events (output via MIDI and CV/gate).

• Combination of step number (1 to 32) and scaling (4) allows all kinds of time

signatures.

• A/B pattern toggle

• Roll/Flam function (multiple triggering)

• Chain function (chaining patterns - not storable).

• Track mute function

The following functions can be programmed on each track (drum instrument):

• Track lenght (1 - 32 steps)

• Shufeintensity

• Track shift (micro delay of entire track via MIDI controller)

The following functions can be programmed on each step (drum instrument):

• Step on/off

• Accent level

• Sound setting of current instrument

• Bend (pitch modulation - only DB1, BD2, SD, toms/congas)

• Flam(multitrigger=am,rollsetc.)

• Additional sound parameter (on selected instruments)

The following functions can be programmed on each step (CV tracks):

• Step on/off (output via MIDI note-on and +/-gate)

• Pitch with 3 octave range. Output via MIDI-notes and CV

• Accent level (on bass track only)

• 2nd CV (on bass track only)

Operation Modes

Manual Trigger Mode

• Triggering instruments via step buttons and/or MIDI notes (with velocity).

• Access to sound parameters via knobs or MIDI controller.

Play Mode

• Pattern selection

• Access to sound parameters via knobs

• Accesstoplayfunctions(A/Bpatterntoggle,roll,ll,andmutefunction,plussome

more)

Record Mode

• Programming a pattern in one of three available modes (Manual, Step, or

Jam mode)

Synchronisation

• MIDI clock

• Sync signal (clock) and start/stop input or output; output clock divider

Not bad, uh? Of course, it was not possible to place a dedicated knob or button for each

function on the front panel. Sometimes, a second function level and some button com-

binations are necessary to access all features. To ensure that you and your Tanzbär will

become friends really soon, we advise you to read this manual carefully. This will be the

best and easiest way to explore your Tanzbär thoroughly - and there is pretty much to be

explored. So we beg you: please bother to read (and understand) this f... manual.

CONNECTIONS AND INITIAL OPERATION

Rear panel connectors

Power

Please connect the 12V DC wall wart here. Power up/down Tanzbär using the ON/OFF

switch. Please pull the power supply from the wall outlet if you do not use the Tanzbär

anymore. Please use only the included power supply or one with exactly the same

specications-noexceptions,please!

MIDI In1 / MIDI In 2 / MIDI Out

Please connect MIDI devices here. MIDI keyboards and drum pads should be connected

to MIDI In 1. MIDI In 2 handles MIDI clock data exclusively. Via MIDI out, the Tanzbär

transmits note date of all tracks.

Audio Outs

Tanzbär features one main audio out and six additional instrument outs. The latter are

stereo jacks which put out two instrument signals each - one on each channel (except the

Clap – this is a stereo sound). Please hook up the outputs with insert cables (Y-cables).

For Clap, please use a stereo cable.

If you plug a cable into an instrument out, the sound is cancelled from the main out. Please

connect Tanzbär‘s main out to an audio mixer, soundcard, or amp, before you power

Tanzbär up.

PLAY/MANUAL TRIGGER MODE

First of all let´s check out some demo patterns to give you an idea of what Tanzbär

can do. At the same time we will learn how to ”perform“ on the Tanzbär, that is, playing

patterns, modifying them and tweaking sounds.

To play back and tweak pre-programmed sounds and patterns, we need the PLAY/

f0 MANUAL TRIGGER MODE. To program patterns we will go into the Record Mode

which we will explore later on.

ThefollowinggureshowsanoverviewofthePlayModeanditsfunctions.

Audition of sounds

Right after powering up, Tanzbär‘s MANUAL TRIGGER MODE is active. The LED

”Rec/ManTrig” constantly lights up green. Now you can trigger the sounds with the

Step/Instrument buttons. You can also tweak all sounds with their dedicated parameter

controls.

Play Mode

Pattern Memory

Tanzbär‘s pattern memory uses three sets (A, B and C) of three banks each. Each bank

contains 16 patterns which makes 144 patterns in total.

Set A is packed with factory patterns. Banks 1 and 2 contain great beats made by the

Berlin based techno wizard Yapacc, Bank 3 sports the original patterns of the ”MFB Kult“

drummachine. Sets B and C are waiting for your own great creations. If desired, the

content of Set A can be overwritten.

Pattern Selection

To select patterns, PLAY MODE or MANUAL TRIGGER MODE has to be active. The LED

Rec/ManTrigshouldbeOFForconstantlyGREEN(pleaserefertog.onpage9).

• Hold Shift + press Set A button. Set A is selected.

• Hold Shift + press Bank button. The Bank button toggles between Bank 1 (green),

2 (red) and 3 (orange).

• Press Step button. If you press Step 1, pattern 1 is loaded etc. Red Step LEDs

show used patterns. The currently loaded pattern lights up orange.

When the sequencer is running, a pattern change is always performed on the next down-

beat of the following bar.

Pattern Playback

Start/stop the sequencer

• Press Play. The sequencer starts. Press Play again and the sequencer stops. This

also works when Tanzbär is synced to MIDI-clock.

Please note: After powering up, Tanzbär has to be set to PLAY MODE in

order to play patterns back (press Rec/ManTrig, LED has to be OFF). Then

select a pattern (press Pattern, Step button, please see above).

Adjust Tempo

• Hold Shift + move the Data knob.

To avoid tempo skipping, the tempo change is performed at the very moment when the

knob position matches the previous tempo setting.

As soon as you release the Shift button, the new tempo is stored. There is no tempo

readout on Tanzbär. The values range of the knob cover approx. 60 BPM to 180 BPM.

In Play Mode (Rec/ManTrig LED OFF), you can not only play existing patterns back, you

can also tweak them ”live“ in several ways. In this mode, Tanzbär‘s buttons open up certain

dedicatedfunctions.Thefollowinggureshowsthefunctionsofallrelevantbuttons.Inthe

following text, these functions will be explained in detail.

1. Mute Function

In PLAY MODE, all instruments can be muted using their corresponding Step/Instrument

button (e.g. Step 3 = BD 1, Step 7 = Cymbal etc.). The LED of a muted instrument lights

up red. When the pattern is stored, active mutes will also be stored. The store function is

covered on page 23.

2. Accent Function

Sets accents on three different levels. The Acc/Bnd button toggles between the three

levels (LED off/green/red). In Play Mode, the Accent level affects the Roll function (see

below).

3. Tweak sounds / knob record function

In PLAY MODE (LED Rec/ManTrig off) all sound parameters can be edited using their

f0 dedicated knobs. As soon as a pattern is loaded from memory, the current parameter

f0 setting differs from the current knob setting.

If desired, you can record knob tweakings within one bar into the sequencer. This is done

with the Knob Record function. It is enabled with Shift + Step 11 and can be used in PLAY

MODE, if so desired.

To record knob movements:

• Hold Shift + press CP/KnobRec to enable Knob Record function.

• Press Play to start sequencer.

• Hold Sound + press Instrument button to select an instrument.

• Press Soundagain.TheSoundLEDashesuntilthedownbeatofthenextbaris

reached. Then it lights up constantly over the duration of one pattern playing back.

• While the pattern is running, tweak the desired Parameter knobs. The movements

are recorded over one bar/pattern playback.

• If another take is required, simply press Sound again and tweak the knobs.

• If you would like to record the parameters of another instrument, please hold Sound

+ press an Instrument button to select the new instrument. Then press Sound to

start the recording. You do not have to stop the sequencer at any time.

To save your knob performance permanently, you have to save the pattern (please see

page 23).

You do not have to engage the knob record function for each new ”take” and

instrument by hitting Shift + CP/KnobRec. Once enabled, you may use it

over and over again until you disable the function.

If you turn a knob for more than one bar while ”knob recording”, the previous

recording will be overwritten. If you do not like the result, simply reload the

parameter setting, stored in the pattern, by hitting Select. This always helps

when you are not happy with a knob recording ”take”.

4. Roll Function

Play Rolls:

No, we are not talking about role plays or some type of scones here, rather about jams...

Please enable PLAY MODE, if you have not already. Press Roll/Flam to enable the Roll

function. Start the sequencer since the effect will only be audible when the sequencer is

running. When you are now pressing a Step/Instrument button, the corresponding instru-

ment gets multi-triggered. This function is also known and popular as ”note repeat“.

The resolution of the triggers can be set to four different values. They depend on the Scale

setting (please refer to page 22). To change the resolution, please hold Roll/Flam. The

Stepbuttons1-4startashing.PressoneoftheStep buttons to select the roll resolution.

Roll Record:

This a kind of an ”add on“ feature to the Roll function. When Roll Record is enabled, a roll

is played again in each new pattern loop, even when you release the Step/Instrument

button. By holding down Shift and the corresponding Instrument button, the rolls will be

erased again.

To enable the Roll Record function:

• Hold Shift + press Roll Rec (Step 10).

• Press Roll Rec (Step 10) again. The button toggles between Roll Record off (LED

green) and Roll Record on (LED red).

• Press Selecttoconrmandclosethefunction.

Steps recorded with the Roll Record function can be edited in Step Record Mode just like

any other steps (please see page 18).

5. Chain function (chain patterns)

Chain up to 16 patterns ”live“ with the Chain function:

• Hold Chain + Step buttons to select the desired sequence of patterns. Please note

that there is no LED reference at this moment.

• Press Chain again to enable / disable the Chain function. The LED lights up red

when Chain is active.

6. A/B Pattern Toggle

Press the A/Bbuttonto”reup“asecondpatternpart(ifavailable).TheLEDchangesits

colour. Patterns with more than 16 steps contain necessarily a B-part.

To enable automatic toggle betwen both parts, please hold Shift + Step 3 (AB on/off).

7. Shufe Function

Hold Shufe + press one of the Stepbuttonstoselectoneofthe16availableshufe

intensities.InPlaymode,shufeaffectsallinstrumentsinthesameway.

8. Select Button

Sets edited parameter values back to the values that are stored within the current pattern.

When using the functions 1 to 8 while the pattern selection is active (Pattern LED lights),

the corresponding function will be performed according to the way described above. In

somecases,thepatternselectionwillbeclosed.Pleaseseegureonpage9.Thesame

goes for access of these function in MANUAL TRIGGER MODE.

SOUND ENGINE

In this chapter, we would like to introduce the sound generation and its parameters.

Instruments

All drum sounds can be edited directly using the controls of each instrument. In addition to

that, the Data knob shares an additional parameter for most of the instruments. It can be

accessed as soon as the instrument is selected.

Hidden Parameter ”Sound”

In Record Mode (and only in Record Mode), some instruments feature another ”hidden“

parameter that can be accessed via Sound button and Step buttons. If this parameter is

availableonaninstrument,theSound-LEDashesafterRec/ManTrghasbeenpressed.

might be wondering why the volume knobs seem to have a little inertia to them – this is to

avoid unwanted level changes.

RECORD MODE – PROGRAMMING PATTERNS

Finally, it is time to create your own patterns. The capabilities are vast and partly pretty

complex so we are still asking for your attention (and patience, of course).

The different Record Modes

The sequencer features three different modes to program patterns. They all have different

functions:

Manual Mode

Manual Mode will not record any sound parameters. These always have to be tweaked

manually.

Step Mode

Step Mode (factory setting) allows programming of different sound parameter settings per

step.

Jam Mode

Jam Mode is basically the same as Step Mode. In contrast to Step mode, you can alter a

parameter value on all steps of an instrument/track ”live“ and simultaneously without

changingorleavingtheRecordmode.InStepmode,youwouldrsthavetoselectall

steps with the Select button to perform the same trick.

In case that live programming and editing at the same time is what you are striving for, the

JamModewilldoagoodjob.Usually,theStepModeisyourrstchoicetocreatepatterns

with.

Record mode selection:

To select the Record Mode of your choice:

• Hold Shift + press Step 15 button (CB - Man/Step). The button toggles between:

- Manual mode: (LED = green)

- Step Mode: (LED = red)

- Jam Mode: (LED = orange).

• PresstheashingSelect button. The selected mode becomes active.

The programming procedure is the same for all Record modes.

Thefollowinggureonpage18showsabriefoverviewofallStepRecordModefunctions.

The numbers show one possible and useful way to create a fully featured pattern. Please

notethatthisgureisjustanoverview.Youmaywanttouseitasanorientation–

all required programming steps will be covered in detail in the following section.

MFB Tanzbär MFB TanzbärRecord Mode

18 19

Record Mode

After selecting the appropriate Record Mode – Step Record Mode in this case – we will go

ahead.

Programming a Pattern

First, please select an empty pattern (please see page 10). Then let‘s go:

Select instrument and set steps:

• Hold Rec/ManTrg button + press Instrument button.

This enables Record Mode and selects the desired instrument/track.

The instrument/track LED lights up green.

• Press Step buttons to set steps. Their LEDs light up red. Hitting a selected step

again disables the step. If you set a step corresponding to the instrument/track

button (green LED), the step lights up orange. So you can still identify the selected

instrument.

• To enable another instrument/track, please hold Rec/ManTrg again and press

another instrument button.

Individual sound parameter settings per step

Enhance your pattern with individual sound parameter setting per step.

This feature is not available in Manual Mode. Here, all steps have identical

soundsettings, corresponding to the current knob settings. Individual accent

levels and ams/rolls can be programmed. Please see below.

Now, we will describe in detail how to program individual sound settings per step in Step or

Jam Mode:

Step selection and step programming

We are currently watching a track with several active steps (red LEDs), e.g. BD 1 (green

BD 1 LED).

• Hold Select + press step(s)(ifnotallreadyselected).ThestepLED(s)ash(es).

• Turn parameter knob(s) of the selected instrument (here BD1).

• Press Selecttoconrmparameterchanges(stepLED(s)lightupcontinuously

again).

• To create different sound settings on other steps, simply repeat the procedure.

To store the settings permanently, store the edited pattern (please see page 23).

Copy steps

To keep things fast and easy, you may copy the settings of one step to other steps:

• Hold Select + press a step. The sound setting of this step has now been copied.

• Set more steps. The new steps will have the same sound settings.

Using the hidden sound parameter

The instruments BD 1, Toms/Congas as well as Cowbell offer one more sound parameter

that can only be accessed in Step/Jam-Record Mode.

If Record mode is enabled and one of the instruments BD 1, Toms/Congas or Cowbell is

selected,theSoundLEDashes.Tochangetheparametervalue:

• Press Sound (LED lights constantly).

Somestepbuttonswillashgreen.Everystepvisualisesaparametervalue.

• Toselectavalue,pressoneoftheashingstep buttons (colour changes to red).
