Aldrin starts you off at the Base octave of 4, and stretches 2 octaves across
your computer keyboard. This means that you have access from roughly C-4
to E-6, roughly two octaves. In most cases you will need to access notes in
higher and lower ranges then these 2 octaves.
To quickly change octaves press the
/ (lower octave)
and
* (higher octave)
located on your
keypad.
Doing this will quickly raise or lower the base octave by 1. Repeat this
command as many times as needed to access the octaves you require.
Fact:
Aldrin supports 10 Octaves, but most machines make little effective
use of the more dynamic of these octaves. Most machines remain the most
effective from roughly C-2 to roughly C-7. This appears not only with Aldrin machines but
with most audio gear.
