MENUS 

I see you’ve brav

ed the manual so far and are wanting to learn the hidden secrets of 

the Difference 

Engine. From here on out it’s a deep dive into all the settings and 

tweakable options available to dial in your own customised sound. 

NAVIGATION OF THE MENUS 

If you haven’t pressed it already, pressing the MENU button from either LIVE or PRESET mode will 

open the menu and display it on the screen.  

Note. While browsing the MENUs you can still use the footswitches, but the 4 rotary controls are 
disabled. 

You can use the EDIT ENCODER to scroll up and down the menu selection. Pressing down on the 
encoder or pressing the MENU button will enter or select the MENU function. Pressing the MODE 
button at any point will exit the current function, go back a MENU, or exit the MENU completely. 

The menu structure is shown below, with descriptions on the following pages
