the most agreeable harmonically rich sound and the
PRE
control used as described above to prevent
the DSP from being overdriven.
Master Control
This control should be used in conjunction with the
BYPASS
switch to ensure that the effects output
level is similar to the
BYPASSED
one. This ensures that you don’t have to change your guitar amplifier
settings as the unit is switched in or out of circuit.
USING MIDI
Here you will find the information on controlling the Blue Nebula using MIDI messages sent from
another device such as a MIDI foot controller or a MIDI sequencer running on a computer or laptop.
By connecting the MIDI Out from your computer, MIDI keyboard or foot controller to the
MIDI IN
on
the Blue Nebula using a standard MIDI cable, you will be able to send
program change
(PC) messages to
select different user patches.

User Patch 0-127
Table 1: MIDI Implementation
Note that some MIDI sequencers use MIDI program numbers from 1-128 whereas the MIDI standard
specifies values of 0-127. Blue Nebula uses program change values from 0-127 which matches the User
Patch numbering. Many sequencer programs have an option to use 1-128 or 0-127 values, so you may
be able to set it up to match the Blue Nebula. If not, to select a specific pre-set you would need to send
a program change (PC) value one higher than the required pre-set. For example, to select User Patch 16
you would send a PC 17 command.
Just experiment and you will find out the way your sequencer works!
