Shift Line Prism II, User Manual

Page: 4 / 22

Controls
The Prism II has dual-function controls: each knob and switch can have several purposes. Primary functions are
printed in white on the pedal (and in
bold in this text). Secondary functions which can be accessed by holding down
the TAP ( ALT ) footswitch are printed in a white border on the pedal (and are underlined in this text). The functions
which can be accessed by holding down the ON ( HOLD ) footswitch are printed in black-on-white on the pedal (and in
italics in this text).
●
The BASE knob sets the base filter frequency value. In most cases, the LFO oscillates between the minimum and
maximum values. The BASE knob sets the minimum value (frequency) for the device’s filters.
● The DEPTH knob sets the maximum filter frequency value (the filter’s frequency mod depth). The higher this
value, the more impact the LFO has on the BASE knob (movement of the base filter value across the frequency
range). Set the DEPTH knob fully CCW for static filters or fully CW to make them move from the min value to the
max.
● The RATE knob determines the speed at which the filters move along the LFO shape. The range is 60 to 0,125
seconds (
0,01666(6)Hz – 8Hz
). The BEAT switch provides additional control over this range.
●
The REVERB knob controls reverb decay time. Turn this knob fully CCW to disengage the reverb block. The reverb
to dry signal ratio is fixed for each algorithm, but turning the REVERB knob allows you to go all the way from
slight signal coloration to huge pad-like tails.
●
The MIX knob controls wet signal volume. The Prism II was designed as a send effect where the processed
signal is mixed in with the dry one; however, you can use the Kill Dry mode to exclude the dry signal from the
output. In Kill Dry mode, the MIX knob controls output volume.
● The MODE switch selects the algorithm (patch). For a detailed description of patches, please refer to the “ Banks
& Patches ” section.
●
The BEAT switch selects a subdivision for the time set by the TIME knob or the TAP footswitch:
○ UP: 3/4 (dotted eighth note).
○ CENTER: 1/1 (quarter note).
○ DOWN: 2/3 (quarter note triplet).
The subdivisions can be altered via the config file.
● The ON (HOLD) footswitch has multiple functions:
○
Press once to turn the effect on or off.
○
Press and hold to go into Detune Mode (gradual detuning of the signal at a set rate).
○ Press twice to recall the Favorite preset or switch back to live control.
○ Press and hold while changing the MODE switch setting to select the bank (this behavior can be changed
via the config file).
○ Press and hold while changing the BEAT switch setting to select bypass mode and control the Kill Dry
function.
● The TAP (ALT) footswitch has multiple functions:
○
Press twice to set LFO rate.
○
Press and hold the TAP and ON footswitches simultaneously for 3 seconds to record the current settings as
a Favorite preset.
○
Press to access the secondary functions printed in blue.
○ Press and hold while in EX mode to trigger the expression pedal simulation envelope.
○ Press and hold while changing the MODE switch position to access the Cyan bank.
