If the knob position does not reflect the actual setting, the knob is dark and passive. Turn it until
the physical pot knob indicator reaches the autostored or preset setting. The knob lights up
green and is now active. Moving past that position the active pot knob is red.
When you save the current preset, all active knobs turn green, as their position now matches the
saved position. It sounds complicated but is dead simple to learn.
In some cases where centre (or zero) position is important, it is marked with yellow light, such
as spread and pan pots.
Another way to put it, is that if a potentiometer is turned the way that does not reflect the preset
state, the LED light is off and pot is passive until turned to the preset value. From then on, the
pot is active.
Dark = Pot is passive and is not regulating the sound
Red = Pot is active but not turned to preset (saved) value
Green = Pot is active and turned to preset value
Yellow = Pot is active and in middle position – only when it is used for functions where middle
(zero) point is important (spread, LFO amplitude etc).
Pots are disabled if the corresponding function is turned off.
Tone (Menu1, Clock 10) – if off, Pot 3 in Player Mode, Menu1, Menu9, Menu 10 and Pot 8 in
Menu2, Menu 9, Menu 10 is disabled,
Filter (Menu1, Clock 9)- if off, Pot 7…10 in Menu 1 are disabled
SEQ Mode (Menu 3, Pot 11) ) – if off, Pot 1…10 in Menu3 are disabled
LFO1 Mode (Menu 4, Pot 11) – if off, Pot 1…10 in Menu4 are disabled
LFO2 Mode (Menu 5, Pot 11)) – if off, Pot 1…10 in Menu5 are disabled
ENV Mode (Menu 6, Pot 11) – if off, Pot 1…10 in Menu6 are disabled
There is also position indication in the CLOCK, a feature called POT DISPLAY. Basically, if you
turn any POT which is not currently disabled, the LEDs flash in CLOCK to show you where the
stored potentiometer position is. It also shows you the pot movement limits between 7 and 5
o’clock.
You can turn the Pot Display feature globally off, if it annoys you.

OOTSWITCHES
In Player Mode, footswitches have pretty obvious functions. FX/ESC turns the drive effect on and
off (FX on/off). PREV goes to previous preset (as does turning the encoder counter clockwise).
NEXT goes to next preset (as does turning ENC clockwise).
The footswitches also help you navigate the menus, recall presets, tap tempo etc. In any menu ,
saving or other non Player Mode situation, the FX/ESC is your way out, acting just as an escape
button on your computer’s keyboard. It either takes you to Player Mode or back to menu from a
submenu. Read on to find out more.
