In the lower right corner of the display is the REMADJ-> OFF/ON selection. This feature is used for balancing preset levels
after everything has been programmed, and can be ignored for now.
NOTE:
BE SURE THAT THE MIDI CHANNEL NUMBER YOU SELECT HERE IS THE SAME CHANNEL THAT THE
EFFECT IS REALLY ASSIGNED TO. (SEE “CONNECTING MIDI DEVICES ABOVE).
IF A MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER OR CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER IS ATTACHED TO THE SWITCHBLADE,
PERFORM STEP 4 BELOW.
4. When done naming all OUT XX jacks, scroll past OUT 8. The effect name area will change to "SWBLADE" and the OUT
XX area will change to blanks. Select MIDI channel 1 for the Switchblade for this setup if it is not already set. Of course you
may set the Switchblade and controller to other channels. Just be sure none of your MIDI effects are set to the same channel.
IF YOU ARE USING A MIDI CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER THEN FOLLOW STEP 5.
THE CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER NUMBER MENU PROGRAMMING:
5. Press the MODE switch TWICE to move to the "CONTROLLER" menu. Press the UP or DOWN switch so the display
shows a "down" arrow. Press the SELECT switch so the cursor moves to the bottom row. Press the UP or DOWN switch
until the number "007" appears. This number matches the Control Change Number that you set your continuous controller to
as suggested earlier. If you have a second continuous controller attached select the “up” arrow and assign a value of 000 to it
as suggested earlier.
THE INPUT CONFIGURATION MENU PROGRAMMING:
1. Press the Mode switch until the "INPUT CONFIGURATION" menu is displayed. This menu is used to configure each
input to either normal levels (indicated by “BAL” in the display) or higher than normal levels (indicated by “CUT” in the
display). The input will usually be set to BAL (factory default) unless you have a piece of gear connected that has no level
controls and puts out a high signal level. Refer to “CONNECTING AUDIO DEVICES” above to determine the type of
equipment you have connected to each input.
2. Press the UP/DOIT or DOWN switch to select the input number that needs to be configured.
3. Press the SELECT switch to move the cursor under the “STATE” area and press the UP/DOIT or DOWN switch to select
either BAL or CUT.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each of the 8 inputs.
THE PRESET SWITCH TIME MENU PROGRAMMING:
1. Press the MODE switch until you get to the "PRESET SWITCH TIME" menu.
2. Press the UP/DOIT switch to change the time to 100 MS. This time is a good compromise between fast switching and
smooth preset changes. If you need faster switching time, use 0ms.
3. Press the MODE switch to return back to the PLAY mode. (The green PLAY indicator will illuminate.)
PROGRAMMING THE PRESETS
FOR THIS EXAMPLE, 3 PRESETS WILL BE PROGRAMMED AS FOLLOWS:
PRESET 1 - Single effect (distortion) between instrument and amplifier.
PRESET 2 - Two effects (distortion and delay) mixed in parallel
PRESET 3 - Distortion and direct (bypass) mixed in parallel with continuous control setup to sweep between full clean and full
distortion sound.
PROGRAM PRESET 1
Preset 1 will connect a single effect (distortion) between the instrument and the amp. To program this preset, proceed with the
following steps.
