Overview of
Front Panel Controls
The 300 front panel has been designed for ease-of-use and intuitive access to
all of the 300's functions.
In general the user will be operating in one of the following modes of operation,
each of which is accessed from the dedicated keypad on the front panel. Each
mode key has an LED which lights when the key is activated. The functions of
the VALUE and STORE keys are discussed later in this section.
SETUP SELECT
It is from Setup Select mode that setups are selected and loaded. Setups can
be selected with the Soft knob, or by entering a setup number on the numeric
keypad and then pressing ENTER.
CONTROL
Control mode provides access to global system functions which include: Digital
I/O Configuration, MIDI Channels, Modes, and Effect Change tables. Selecting
Control mode does not interrupt the audio operation of the 300.
MACH
This button allows you to toggle between the 300's two DSP engines. Each
machine can process audio continuously and simultaneously. However, the
front panel can only actively
control one effect at a time.Each time you press
MACH, the 300 switches control; the display indicates whether Machine A or B
is being controlled.
SETUP EDIT
This mode is used to modify the current setup. In this mode you can select the
effect for the setup, and the name assigned to the setup
EFFECT EDIT
In this mode you can modify the effect used in the current setup, and change the
name of the effect. The available parameters for each effect are organized onto
display pages. The algorithms and their parameters are discussed in detail in
Chapter 4.
MOD EDIT
In Modulation Edit you can assign MIDI and Soft knob patches.
Switching between these various modes is as simple as pressing a button. The
operation of the 300 in each of these modes is discussed in the following
sections.
