If you have a MIDI keyboard attached, you can send a MIDI program change message and
MuseBox will load the corresponding presets in that particular TAg. If you change to a different
TAg, then your program changes will select presets within that new TAg.
You can easily create a custom named TAg before your gig using the graphical User Interface and
then TAG the presets of interest to reside in that TAG. If you don't have the GUI handy, you can
simply save the presets into the USER TAg and select them there.
If you want to move back and forth through the preset list, you can connect a 1/4" stereo to dual-
mono breakout cable to the footswitch jack and connect TWO footswitches to the rear panel. One
switch will allow you to increment through the list (increasing the preset number with each push of
the switch) and the other switch will allow you to decrement through the list (decreasing the preset
number with each push of the switch).
In either case, each time you press the footswitch, the next (or previous) preset will load
immediately. This function is ideal for guitarists who might want to move through different guitar
effects during a set without having to take their hands off their guitar to change patches.
Editing Virtual Instruments or Effects
The virtual instruments and effects in MuseBox are intended to be edited from their graphical User
Interfaces which you can see when you connect an LCD monitor to your MuseBox, or when you use
the MuseBox Remote software with your Mac or PC through a network.
However, you can edit some of the key parameters on a plugin from the front panel by pressing
the EDIT button. The EDIT mode lets you adjust up to eight pre-defined editable parameters per
virtual instrument or effect.
To edit a virtual instrument or effect, first you need to select the channel you want to edit. You do
this by simply pressing the SNTH1, SNTH2, AUD1, or AUD2 channel from the front panel.
In the case of MusePlayer, the default sound generating plugin in MuseBox, the parameters you can
adjust are:
1. Amplitude Envelope Attack 5. Master Filter Cutoff Frequency
2. Amplitude Envelope Decay 6. Master Filter Resonance
3. Amplitude Envelope Sustain 7. Filter Cutoff
4. Amplitude Envelope Release 8. Filter Q
For ReValver ™ HP ™ , the default amp modeling plugin in MuseBox, the parameters you can adjust are:
1. PreAmp 1 gain 5. Reverb Mix
2. Bass EQ 6. Presence
3. Mid EQ 7. Master Output
4. Treble EQ 8. PreAmp 2 gain
MIDI Learn and Editable Paramaters
MuseBox supports "MIDI Learn" which allows you to assign various MIDI-controllable paramaters to
various MIDI continuous controllers. This feature requires you to use the graphical User Interface,
and as such it is not covered in this quickstart guide, so please consult the website for more
information. However, it is important to realize the first eight parameters that are assigned using
the MIDI Learn function show up as the first eight parameters in when the EDIT button is lit.
