USER GUIDE

SET MID

 

With SET MID option it is possible to tune the modulation amount 
over the calibrated range.  
 
If you want a smooth modulation (and your expression pedal is 
somewhat linear) somewhere in the middle of the calibrated range 
would be a good point to start from. But if you, for example, want 
to have more action in the last ten percent of the expression pedals 
range, just set “mid” more towards the toes down position. 
 
Move the pedal to the desired mid position and hit 

TAP/SET 

 
When calibration sequence is finished, press 

TAP/SET

 to save and exit. 

C. 

ACTIVTE EXP PARAMETER

(S) 

Choose a sound on the Retracer to start from with the expression 
pedal positioned at heel down. 
 
Hold 

TAP/SET

 and press 

ACTIVE

. A blinking ”E” will appear on the 

screen to indicate that the delay pedal now is in ”exp record mode”. 
 
Modify the desired parameters to the sound you would like to 
modulate to.  
 
Again, Hold 

TAP

 and press 

ACTIVE

. This will end ”exp record 

mode” and the blinking ”E” will now be fixed to indicate that this 
program is using the expression pedal.  
 
You are now ready to get blown away. Put your pedal to the metal 
and the parameters will move toward the sound you decided to 
modulate to.
