1. Use the SELECT switch to move the cursor under the
preset name on the top row of the display. This is the source
preset. Press DOWN or UP/DOIT to find the preset you wish to copy from.
2. Press SELECT to move the cursor to the number on the bottom row. This is the destination preset number. Again use the
DOWN or UP/DOIT switch to select the preset number that you wish to copy to.
3. Press SELECT to move the cursor under the DOIT area. Press the UP/DOIT switch to perform the copy operation. A
"WAIT" message is displayed while the copy is in progress.
THE INPUT/OUTPUT DEFINITION MENU: (SETUP MENU GROUP)
This menu is used to create names for all devices connected to the IN and OUT ports on the back panel. In addition, if a
device is a MIDI controlled device, this menu is used to assign a MIDI channel to that device, and assign a MIDI channel to
the Switchblade itself. This menu is also used to assign particular outputs for the REMOTE ADJUST feature used to balance
levels between presets. (see REMOTE REPROGRAMMING OF PRESET GAINS below.
To use this menu:
1. Use the SELECT switch to move the cursor under the IN 01 number. Determine which IN jack on the back panel the first
device is connected to and use the UP/DOIT switch to scroll to that number. For example, if a guitar is connected to IN 1 then
IN 01 should be showing on the display.
2. Press the SELECT switch to move the cursor to the lower left corner of the display and use the DOWN or UP/DOIT switch
and the SELECT switch to create a name for the device attached to this particular IN number (such as "GUITAR").
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to name all devices connected to the IN jacks. If you are using stereo effects then name each output
from the effect a different name such as "EQ LEFT" and "EQ RIGHT".
4. When all IN jacks have been assigned, then begin naming each OUT jack the same way. The "IN xx" label will change to
"OUT 01" if the UP/DOIT SWITCH is used to scroll past "IN 8". For 1-in, 2-out stereo effects, the input to the effect can be
given a different name than the outputs. For example, the 2 outputs of the EQ device might be named "EQ LEFT" and "EQ
RIGHT" but the input might just be named "EQ". If the device has 2 inputs and 2 outputs you may give the left in and out the
same "EQ LEFT" name and the same for the right in and out.
5. In addition to giving a name to each used OUT jack, if any MIDI devices are connected to the Switchblade you can assign a
MIDI channel for this device as well. To do this, be sure the name of the MIDI device is showing (such as "EQ". Move the
cursor under the NOCH (no channel) label and press UP/DOIT to scroll to the desired channel number for this effect. BE
SURE THAT THE EFFECT ITSELF IS SET TO RECEIVE MIDI INFORMATION ON THE SAME CHANNEL THAT
YOU ASSIGN HERE. The Switchblade automatically determines if a channel has already been used for another device and
will only display the available channels.
6. Furthermore, if you are controlling the Switchblade from either a MIDI controller or MIDI continuous controller then the
Switchblade also has to be assigned a channel on which to respond. To do this, use the UP/DOIT switch to scroll past "OUT
8". The OUT 8 label will change to "-----" and the word "SWBLADE" will appear as the effect name. Move the cursor under
the channel area and scroll to the desired channel using the DOWN or UP/DOIT switch. If some channels have already been
used for other devices then you will not be allowed to set the Switchblade to the channels that have already been used.
REMOTE REPROGRAMMING OF PRESET GAINS: (REMOTE ADJUST)
How to use the Remote Adjust feature:
1. Press the MODE switch once to get the Programming group selection menu and this time move the cursor under “SETUP”.
Press the MODE switch twice to get to the “I/O DEF” menu.
2. With the cursor under “IN 01”, press the UP switch until “OUT 01” appears. “REMADJ->“ (remote adjustment) will
appear to show if this output is a selected output. If “ON” is displayed then this output will be adjusted, otherwise it won’t.
Press SELECT until the cursor is under this area and press the UP or DOWN switch to select or deselect this output. Only
select those outputs that are the final outputs (i.e. go to amplifiers). Go through all 8 outputs and turn them on or off as
appropriate.
3. When done with all 8 “OUT” numbers, press the MODE switch to get back to the “PLAY” mode.
