Editing directly from the Routing display
If you want to edit an effect right away, press Enter to
access the Edit parameter display.
Use the Parameter wheel to scroll up and down, and the
Value wheel to change values.
Press Exit to leave the Edit parameter display again.

Mix
In the Mix display, you are able to balance the mix and the
In Level of the effects in that particular preset. If an effect is
bypassed, it will appear as grayed out, however, you can
still change the level and mix of that particular effect. A
small PPM shows the input level of each block. When two
signals are joined together there may be occasional
overshoots. The meters of each block are therefore placed
at the very input of the current block. This means that in
case of overloads you should turn down the level of the
previous blocks.
Use the Parameter wheel to scroll through the parameters
and change values by dialing the Value wheel. Press Enter
to activate the current effect or Exit to bypass it.

Layout
In addition to the Routing display, you have a couple of
Layout tools. The Layout display can make certain actions
very much easier. The functions of the Layout are very
much like those of a spreadsheet.
In the Layout display, you see a miniature version of the
Routing. By turning the Value wheel, you can change the
cursor position. Now dial the Parameter wheel to select the
desired function.

Column
Move L - Will move the current Column to the Left.
Move R - Will move the current Column to the Right.
Insert - Will insert a new Column.
Delete - Will delete the current Column.

Row
Move U - Will move the current Row up.
Move D - Will move the current Row down.
Insert - Will Insert a new Row.
Delete - Will delete the current Row.

Press Enter to carry out the selected function.

EFFECTS

20

If you want to Edit one of the eight effects, press the Effects key. In the header of the effects display you can choose
between - Mix, Edit, Routing, and Layout. By using the < > Arrow keys you can step between the four displays. If an
effect is bypassed, it will appear with no bottom line.

Editing an effect

Press the Effects key and select the Edit display (using the
< > Arrow keys). Double click on the block bypass key of
the effect you want to edit, or point the cursor to the block
you want to edit, and press Enter to access the Edit
parameter display.
Note that you can also select the In and Out section, e.g.
the Noise Gate is placed in the In-section.
When you are in the Edit parameter display, use the
Parameter wheel to scroll through the parameters and the
Value wheel to change values.
Press Exit or double click the block bypass key to leave the
edit parameter display.

Double clicking another block bypass key will take
you directly to edit parameter display of that
particular effect.

Changing the Sub-algorithm
In each effect block you can choose between a couple of
variations of the current effect, for example, in the Chorus
block you can choose between Classic Chorus, Advanced
Chorus, Classic Flanger and Advanced Flanger. To change
the Sub-algorithm, you enter the Effect Edit parameter
display and then use the < > Arrow keys to jump to the
effect Sub-algorithm (upper left corner of the display). Now
use the Parameter wheel to select the new Sub-algorithm
and press Enter to confirm.

Routing
If you want to change the Routing or order of the effect
blocks, use the < > Arrow keys to select the Routing
display.
Use the Parameter wheel to select where you want to
place an effect block, and double click the block bypass
key of the effect you want to insert, or scroll through the
effects using the Value wheel, and press Enter to choose
the current effect.
If you simply want to lead the sound through a point, you
select the pipeline icon.
The full Routing matrix is 4 high by 8 wide and you can
place any effect (without duplication) anywhere in the
matrix.
