BASIC OPERATION
EDITING AND SAVING PRESETS
Editing and saving presets on ADAM is remarkably
easy. If any of the parameters are changed (i.e.
potentiometers, sliders, encoder rotation), the color
LED of your current preset will gently breathe,
indicating that the
edit or audition mode is active.
Auditions are an easy way to try new sounds and
settings, which can be either saved or discarded.
When you find a sound that you would like to save,
the audition can be saved into any of the three
presets by pressing and holding one of the preset
footswitches for two seconds. All LEDs on ADAM will
flash rapidly a few times indicating that your edits
have been saved into a preset.
A new audition is always entered when changing any
parameter from an unedited/saved preset. This will
overwrite any previous unsaved auditions/edits.
During an edit/audition, you can change to any of
the three saved presets by pressing the footswitch
associated with that preset. After changing to a
preset, pressing the footswitch again will swap
between that preset and your active editing session.

TUNER
To enter the tuner, press
B and C simultaneously.
To exit the tuner, press
B and C simultaneously or
one of the footswitch presets. ADAM will always
return to the last active preset. ADAM will not output
any audio when tuning.
ADAM features a five-octave chromatic tuner, which
can tune any note between B0 and A#5, allowing you
to dial in any guitar or bass tuning that you desire.
The tuning is derived from A4 = 440 Hz. Only one
note can be tuned at a time.
When the tuner mode is entered and there is no
input signal, two red LEDs on the two rightmost
sliders are shown by default. When an input signal
is received, the left section of sliders will update to
show the note that you are tuning.
A small indicator is displayed to the top right of the
note if it is a sharp note.
