PRESET MODE (continued...)
MORPH: The SHAPESHIFTER module allows you to morph between the current panel parameter settings and
the settings stored in the currently selected preset. To activate this ability, press the MOD A/MORPH button
(second from bottom button to the left of the rotary encoder). The LCD display will now show “Morph NN”
(where NN is the currently selected preset number) and “PnL->Pst” (or “Pnl<-PsT”). The currently selected
preset number can be changed by turning the rotary encoder. The parameter values actually used by the mod-
ule in this situation will be a blending of the current panel settings and the parameters stored in the currently
selected preset. The relative blending is controlled by the MOD B control (and MOD B input). When the MOD B
control is fully counter clock-wise the actual parameters will be the same as the panel settings, whereas if the
MOD B control is fully clock=wise then the actual parameters will be those from the currently selected preset.
When the MOD B control is somewhere in between, the actual parameters will be a blending of the two.
There are two exceptions to this blending: the INT. SYNC and PERC. MODE settings are always set to the panel
configuration. The preset values for this buttons are ignored. Note that the currently selected preset can be
changed on the fly using the rotary encoder, allowing the sounds to be rapidly changed during a performance.
With the MOD B knob turned all the way clock-wise (so that the blending is completely to the preset values)
this allows a quick way to audition the presets before loading them.
STEP: The SHAPESHIFTER module also has the capability of stepping through the presets in response to triggers
sent to the SYNC input. To activate this ability press the SYNC/PULSE/STEP button (second button from the top
to the left of the rotary encoder). The stepping is done on presets in a user-definable range of preset numbers
(the Begin and End presets). The STEP mode has seven different settings, accessed by turning the rotary en-
coder. These are described below:
Fwd : NN when this is selected, press the SYNC/PULSE/STEP button to turn on the stepping action. Each
trigger received by the SYNC input will step the preset to the next highest number. The LCD display will change
to show “Fwd *NN”. The * indicates that stepping is live. To disable the stepping press the SYNC/PULSE/STEP
button again.
Rev : NN this is the same as the Fwd setting except that each trigger will step to the next lower preset.
Fw/Rv: NN in this mode the stepping will first increase the preset number until the end preset number is
reached, and then step downwards until the beginning preset number is reached, and the cycle repeats.
Rand : NN in this mode a random preset number in the range is selected on each trigger.
MOD B: NN in this mode the preset number selected on each trigger is set by the position of the MOD B knob
(and by the MOD B input). This allows an external input to select or sequence the presets on each trigger.
Begin: NN when this is selected, press the SYNC/PULSE/STEP button. The LCD display will change to show
“Begin? NN”. In this state you can turn the rotary encoder to select the starting preset number for the stepping
sequence. Once you have chosen the desired starting preset number, press the SYNC/PULSE/STEP button again
and use the rotary encoder to select one of the other settings.
End : NN in a manner similar to the Begin setting, this allows you to select the endng preset number for the
stepping sequence.
Div: N in a manner similar to the Begin setting, this mode sets the number of SYNC pulses per step. It is used
when you want to repeat a preset for a number of sync pulses before stepping to the next one. N can range
from 1 to 8. When set to 1, the preset will step on every sync pulse.
