OVERVIEW

Thank you from us at MFB.

First of all, we would like to thank you for having purchased Tanzmaus. We appreciate your choice very much and hope you will have lots of fun with your new instru ment.

What is Tanzmaus ("Dancing Mouse")?

Tanzmaus is a drum computer, featuring a combination of real analog and sample-based sound generation as well as a very sophisticated pattern-based step sequ encer. The latter provides individual sound settings of any instrument for every step. This way, you can crea- te very complex-sounding beats pretty easily. then, in 1950s Germany, this is what a blonde girl with pony-tail and petticoat skirts was called, dancing along to the exciting and infectious new rhythms of rock 'n'roll music. Histo- ry lesson over.

Infectious new rhythms...? Hang on a second...

What exactly is going on inside Tanzmaus? Here is a brief overview of its functions:

Sound generation:

real analog instruments, two sample-based instruments with a total of 32 selectable

Sequencer:

Nine tracks triggering the drum instruments.

all kinds of time signatures.

Not bad, huh? Of course, it was not possible to place a dedicated contro l or button for each function on the front panel. Sometimes, a second function level and pressing some button combinations is required to access all functions.

To make sure you and your Tanz-

maus will become close friends really soon, we advise you to read this m anual carefully. This will be the best and easiest way to explore your Tanzmaus thoroughly - and there is f...antastic manual.
