Individual patches can vary this pattern when deemed appropriate.
The top line provides level meters. These are representations of the audio levels that
are reaching the device's
I
(nputs) and those that are ending up at its
O
(utputs). Each
meter is actually a stereo representation, with the top rows showing left levels and
the bottom rows showing those for the right channels.
NOTE:
The on-screen output meter is operating in a "post fader" mode, where
the displayed signal is scaled based on the unit's current volume setting.
The middle four lines are prefaced with
1
,
2
,
3
, and
4
, each representing that
respective knob. Following the knob number is usually a short name for the
parameter being altered and then a numeric representation of that parameter's
current value. So in the example shown above, Knob 2 is controlling a parameter
named
Vibrato Rate
that is currently set to
8 Hz
.
The bottom line is prefaced with
Aux
as it tends to provide more information about
the assignment and/or current state of the Aux button. In the example above, this
patch seems to toggle the waveform being used an oscillator, with a
Sine Wave
currently in use.
NOTE:
As was mentioned in the previous chapter, some factory patches use the
Selector encoder to switch the knobs through pages of parameter assignments.
In this case, the middle lines of the on-board display (starting with
1
,
2
,
3
, and
4
) will be updated as the Selector encoder is turned and the knob assignments
shift. The bottom line of the on-board display may also suggest that the Aux
button returns you to the
HOME
menu.
3.3 System Menu Items
Lets take a closer look at the items in the System Menu. This menu contains 3 sub menus:
Storage, Settings, and Extra.
Storage Menu
This menu contains all options related to the microSD card or USB drive, such as ejecting
and reloading.
