2) PRESS and HOLD the CLEAN EQ and DYNAMIC buttons until they start blinking

3) Now you can configure the MIDI Tx Channel by tapping the OVERSATURATE button a 

specific number of times - for example, if you wish to set the Rack’s MIDI Tx channel to 

Channel Three, then tap the OVERSATURATE Button 3 times. 

4)To configure the PLASMA Rack’s MIDI Rx Channel - tap the CLEAN GATE button. 

For example - Rx Channel 4 would mean 4 taps on the CLEAN GATE button.

5) To SAVE press and hold the CLEAN EQ button until it blinking stops. 

6) To exit without saving press the DYNAMIC button.

Any combination of knobs and buttons can be saved on one of PLASMA Rack’s eight 

preset slots.

This includes the positions of all rotary knobs and all sound-related buttons (excl. Power, MIDI 

Send, PAD, FX LOOP).*

2) PRESS and HOLD the MIDI SEND button until it starts blinking. 

3) You will see that the POWER button is ON, while the MIDI SEND and FX LOOP buttons are

4) When you’ve chosen one of the eight available Preset Slots, PRESS and HOLD the MIDI 

SEND button to save the Preset.
