Softkey A

This shows, in the equalizer display, the same information window as shown when operating

a fader. However, in contrast to normal equalizer operation, you cannot change the level with the cursor key,

instead you can select a new program. You can confirm this with

or cancel it with

. In both cases

you are then returned back to the EDIT menu.
When you select a program to be loaded, the ULTRA-CURVE PRO may behave differently depending on

whether a crossfadetime has been set in the SETUP menu. The CROSSFADE function causes a soft or

gradual transition from one program when switching into another. This helps prevent any clicks or other noises,

which can be caused by very sudden changes to a program. The faders are seen to creep to their new positions

on the display. You may choose the time taken for this to occur, from 0 to 15 seconds being allowed.

CROSSFADE OFF = 0 (s): as you step through the programs displayed, they will be loaded and you can then

hear the effect they make (useful to try out different settings).
CROSSFADE ON = 1 - 15 (s): the chosen program will be executed only upon confirmation.

starts the

crossfade between old and new programs (this is best used when you know the specific program which you

wish to use). In this sub-menu you can change channels at any time with the C

softkey.

Using softkey D

you can reset all the current ULTRA-CURVE PRO settings - the Graphic Equalizer, the

Parametric Filters (also in FEEDBACK DESTROYER mode) and the DELAY - to zero. You will first be

presented with the question CLEAR PROGRAM IN MEMORY? which can be confirmed with

. By using

you can stop at this point and leave the settings as they are.

We recommend that you make use of this feature whenever you have something completely new to do and

have to start from scratch. This way, you can carry on without the danger that maybe an old

FEEDBACK DESTROYER setting is in the place which could cause problems. In any case it is the quickest

and most convenient way to reset all the parametric filters.
B) Saving programs
Softkey B

The procedure of saving a program is analogous to that of loading one. The memory location

is selected with the vertical cursor keys, is confirmed with

or cancelled with

. If a program location

is already occupied, the warning OVERWRITE PROGRAM? will appear. Pressing

once more allows you

to confirm the save,

means it does not take place, and the program already in place remains undis-

turbed. When

is pressed a window is opened where the name can be entered when an empty memory

place is used or the previous name can be edited.
Important to note here is that program names can have a maximum of 12 characters. You will see a window in

the equalizer display, showing the available characters. Choose the character you require with the cursor key,

which is to be found in the part of the name field highlighted by blinking. You can change position using the

arrows keys

removes all characters. Having completed the name you wish to use,

pressing

returns you to the EDIT menu.

When naming, remember it is always the program resident in memory which you are naming.

If you want to rename a stored program, you must first load it into memory.

D) Additive and subtractive editing of programs. Load firstly the program to which you wish to add or subtract

another program, then press Softkey D

. In the pictograms either a plus or a minus will appear or

disappear. If you now wish to load and add a program onto the one already in memory, press softkey D until a
