DELAY
Context 2 has delay available in all modes. Each reverb engine has its own stereo delay line. The input
signal is fed into both the delay and reverb. The delay feedback signal is also fed into the reverb.
The
DELAY ([SHIFT]-PRE) control sets the delay time and the FDBK ([SHIFT]-DECAY) control sets the
feedback amount. This allows you to set a single repeat or to use feedback to create resonant or flanged
reverb sounds. There is a minimum delay time when feedback is used. Set both
DELAY and FDBK to
zero to turn off the delay.
The
BAL (balance) control adjusts the balance from 100% reverb to 100% delay. When set to 100% re-
verb (7:00), the delay is disabled. When set to 100% delay (5:00), the Context functions as a delay pedal.
The
HI and LO controls do not affect the tone of the delay.
Presets
The Context stores 127 presets (MIDI program number 0-126). The left footswitch toggles between the
live settings and the active preset with spillover - the previous reverb setting will trail off naturally. This
allows you to have two separate reverb settings available, for example, one for the verse and one for the
chorus.
Adjusting controls while a preset is active will alter the sound. The preset is reset to its saved settings
each time the
PRESET button is pressed, unless you save the new sound.
All presets are accessible via MIDI program change messages. MIDI program 127 resets the parame-
ters to the current knob settings. (Note that some controllers label MIDI programs 0-127 and some use
1-128.)
Changing the Active Preset
Send a MIDI program change message. The preset will immediately be selected, and the previous re-
verb setting will decay naturally (spillover).
Saving a Preset
To save preset 0, adjust the live settings for the desired sound, then hold down the
[SHIFT] button and
press the left footswitch. The right LED will blink green to acknowledge that the preset was saved.
To save any preset (0-126) via MIDI, send a MIDI program change message while holding down the
[SHIFT] button. You can also save a preset using a MIDI System Exclusive message (See "System Exclu-
sive (SysEx)" on page 28).
