3 POTS, KNOBS AND INTERFACE
Besides the more obvious functions, we use combinations of buttons in more specific cases. Also,
pressing shortly and pressing longer than 2 second are different functions. For all combinations
of button presses, please see the Table 3 in appendix (Chapter
).
3.1 E
NCODER
ENCODER (ENC) is a shiny knob in the middle of the Clock. The Clock has 12 LED lights in circle
plus two on the sides and one below ENC.
Encoder is a clickable rotary knob. In Player Mode, i.e at your starting point, turning the encoder
does the same as tapping the footswitches PREV and NEXT – it takes you from preset to preset.
Encoder also lets you save and recall presets, enter and operate menus. Read further on to find
out how.
3.2 C
LOCK
CLOCK is the most prominent component of the interface. In normal Player Mode the 12
multicolor LED lights (CLOCK POSITIONS) show presets. There are 12 green and 12 red PRESET
MEMORY SLOTS. You can save your own settings to any of these slots.
There are four possible indication states that a Clock Position LED lights can have: green, yellow,
red and dark. If you have selected a position with dark indication, dark is marked with green-red
blinking sequence, so you can see in which position you are. If a position is not selected and the
value is dark, that position is dark.
In MENUS, CLOCK and its 12 POSITIONS let you access sound sculpting settings, extra effects and
utility features. The POSITIONS can be Dark (no light), Green, Yellow or Red.
There are also three LED light close to the encoder. TEMPO LED shows you modulation
frequency rate (speed) that is dialled, tapped in, or obtained via external MIDI.
DRIVE LED in the middle shows if you’re in no drive (dark), overdrive (green), crunch (yellow)
or fuzz (red) mode.
SAVE LED on the right from ENC lights up red when a preset is changed but not saved. It also
blinks green shortly when the preset change is automatically stored (until the next time power
6Appeal off and on), and flashes when you are saving a preset. It also flashes when recalling
settings.

NDICATION
You probably have noticed the illuminated POTS. This is not a gimmick but useful feature for
indication for knob position.
When changing a PRESET, the POT knob position does not change automatically. We steered
clear of rather unreliable motorized potentiometers and opted for illuminated ones.
