D/W

It allows to set up the effects’ quantity to add to the source signal, the command can be done rotating the 
potentiometer nr. 4 (see 1.0 front panel). When the D/W is set on zero, the input signal will be the same as 
the one in the output, then all effects won't be audible. When the D/W is at maximum, the input signal will 
totally be over the effects and in the output, there will be only the processed signal.
This D/W general function is available in all the effects menu and in the Noise menu and it’s always 
corresponding at the potentiometer nr. 4.

4.5 

Preset

It’s possible to memorize and recall up to 10 preset (from 0 to 9). The preset memorizes all the setups of all 
the menus and the parameters of effects and synth. 
Preset’s memory is permanent and it won’t be lost in case of shutdown, battery discharge.
The number of current preset is indicated on the menu’s item “Global”. 

To save or charge a preset it is necessary to be placed on the memory that we want to use, rotate the 
encoder on the right of the display, when you are on the number of desired preset the character “#” will be 
highlighted, then press the same encoder once.

It will appear the item “

READ

 / WRITE” (reading). Rotating again the encoder it will appear the item with the 

opposite selection “READ / 

WRITE

” (writing), press the encoder when you are on the required option.

OFF

This feature is available in SX-I Effector / Synthesizer MK2

 PRO

 version only.

It allows to mute the input signal of effects, this feature allows to play the natural sound effects evolution until 
the end while the original input signal is active.
It’s possible to mute the effects pressing the encoder on the right of the display and the item “OFF” is visible 
on the display. Press the encoder again to reactivate the input signal of the effects.

Delay

To get into the “Delay” menu, make sure that the toggle switch is placed on the left (see 1.0 front panel), then 
press once the encoder on the left of the display (the item “menu” will be highlighted) and afterwards turn it 
until it’s arranged on the required menu.

In the Delay section the Delay effect’s setup can be managed, in the SX-I there are 3 different delays that 
can work simultaneously (see 5.4 Max Delay Time) and they have a personal setup menu. The maximum 
time usable of the 3 delays is 6.000ms (6 seconds).

For each delay, it’s possible to edit the “Amount” (quantity of effect to be added to the source), the 
“Feedback” (quantity of signal processed to be sent back to the input of all the delays), the “Time” (delay’s 
time) and the general “D/W” (quantity of the effect to be added to the source).

5.1 

Amount

It allows to set up delay’s quantity to add to the source’s signal, the command can be done rotating the 
potentiometer nr. 1 (see 1.0 front panel). When the Amount is set on zero, the input signal will be the same 
as the output one, so the delay won’t be audible. If the Amount is at maximum, the input signal will totally be 
above the effects.

5.2 

Feedback

It allows to set up the signal’s quantity to send back in the input to the delays. The command can be done 
rotating the potentiometer nr. 2 (see 1.0 front panel). When the Feedback is set on zero, the signal won’t be 
sent to the input. If the potentiometer is at the maximum, the signal of the delay will be sent in the input to the 
same effect.
