12 SETUP MENU
PARAMETER
Description
Effects Mix
+/- 50%
Boosts or cuts the MIX of all blocks for which the GLOBAL MIX parameter is
set to ON. This switch must be enabled on a per-block/per-preset basis and is
available on the MIX page of the Edit menu for these block types:
Chorus
Delay
Flanger
Formant
Multitap Delay
Phaser
Pitch
Plex Delay
Reverb
Ring Mod
Rotary
Ten-Tap Delay
This feature is provided because certain performance spaces may require more
or less of certain effects across all presets.
Noisegate Offset
+/- 40.00 dB
Globally raises or lowers the THRESHOLD of the Noise Gate for all Input blocks.
If the THRESHOLD for a given preset is set to “OFF”, the global Offset will have
no effect. See
“Noise Gate Parameters” on p. 52
.
Tap Tempo
AVERAGE, LAST TWO
Determines how the tempo changes when tapping the front panel
TEMPO
button
or an external tap tempo controller (see
p. 119
). “AVERAGE” sets the tempo
based on the average of ten taps, meaning taps are more forgiving but changes
are more gradual. “LAST TWO” considers only the time interval between the
last two taps, which means taps must be more precise but changes occur more
quickly.
GLOBAL SETTINGS: OUT 1 EQ & OUT 2 EQ PAGES
Two separate pages for
OUT 1
and
OUT 2
each provide a 10-band graphic EQ, plus a master GAIN adjustment
control
.
Use these to make global adjustments to the tone or level of ALL presets. This is convenient when you
need to compensate for using a different amp or speakers, or if a particular performance space seems overly
bright or boomy. The master GAIN fader should be used with care as it can cause clipping, and lowering it can
affect the signal-to-noise ratio.
Output 1 Global EQ settings apply to all instances of the Output 1 mix signal, including the Output 1 balanced
jacks, unbalanced jacks, headphones jack, and signal which might be routed to USB or digital outs.
Output 2 Global EQ settings apply to all instances of the Output 2 mix signal, including the Output 2 balanced
jacks, and signal which might be routed to USB or digital outs. While Output 2 | Copy Output 1 is enabled, Output
1 Global EQ settings are NOT applied to signals at Out 2. Instead, the Output 2 Global EQ settings apply as usual.
GLOBAL SETTINGS: CUSTOM SCALES PAGE
The Custom Scales (SCALES) page is used to configure scales for the CUSTOM type found in the Pitch Shifter
block.
PARAMETER
Description
Custom Scale Number
1–32
Selects from among the 32 global custom scales available to edit using the 12
parameters which follow.
___ SHIFT (+/- 24)
These 12 parameters are used to set the shift amount for each of the 12 steps
of the chromatic scale. Range is +/- 24 semitones (+/- two octaves). To set up
a custom scale, select its number in the field above and then set each of the
12 pitch values as desired. Changes take effect immediately, with no need to
STORE. Soft-buttons provide options to reset a selected value or all values in
the current scale to 0 semitones.
