Expression Configuration (TRS/MIDI)

Upon every power up, the LEDʼs will blink to indicate which

Expression Configuration is currently enabled.

1] Bypass LED - Blinking 3 times = External Favorite Mode

2] Tap LED - Blinking 3 times = Expression Mode

3] Center LED - Blinking = MIDI Mode. For MIDI Mode,

the number of blinks indicates the current MIDI Input Channel

selected.

NOTE: If none of the expression options are used, we recommend

powering on the pedal while holding the TAP footswitch for a few

seconds and then releasing. This will disable all below expression

options and ensure correct operation if nothing is plugged into

the TRS expression jack.

1] EXPRESSION MODE: This mode allows you to control either 

the SPEED or DEPTH parameter using an external expression

pedal / knob.

TO SET UP EXPRESSION MODE:

 

a] Power up the pedal while holding the TAP footswitch

 

b] Continue to hold the TAP footswitch and turn the speed

 

or depth knob to configure that knob for external control.

 

c] The center LED will flash while turning the knobs to

 

indicate the change.

 

d] Release the TAP footswitch to begin normal operation

 

in EXPRESSION MODE.

2] EXTERNAL FAVORITE MODE: This mode allows you to access

your onboard FAVORITE setting remotely with an external switch.

TO SET UP EXTERNAL FAVORITE MODE:

 

a] Power up the pedal while holding the BYPASS

 

footswitch.

 

b] Hold the BYPASS footswitch for a few seconds (but

 

less than 5 seconds - see DETERMINE CURRENT

 

FIRMWARE VERSION section for more details).

 

c] Release the BYPASS footswitch to begin normal

 

operation in EXTERNAL FAVORITE MODE.

 

NOTE: This mode disables access of the onboard

 

FAVORITE by holding the BYPASS switch.

3] MIDI MODE: This mode allows you to control any parameter,

access your FAVORITE setting as well as ADDITIONAL presets

using an external MIDI controller.

TO SET UP MIDI MODE:

 

a] Power up the pedal while holding the TAP AND

 

BYPASS footswitches. Hold for a few seconds.

 

b] Release to begin operation in MIDI MODE.

 

NOTE: For full details on MIDI operation, please see the

 

corresponding MIDI manual.

RAMPING INSTRUCTIONS

Holding the TAP footswitch will initiate a tempo / speed 

ramping feature. This is indicated by the center LED lighting

up. This feature is configurable, as described below.

The speed of the ramping, or how quickly the speed increases

/ decreases can be adjusted by changing the SPEED

knob WHILE holding the TAP footswitch (while actively ramping).

The center LED will blink to indicate that a change was received.

There are 3 Different MODES of ramping that can be

configured. These are selected by changing the center toggle

switch in the direction referenced below WHILE holding the TAP

footswitch (while actively ramping). The center LED will blink to

indicate that a change was received.

NOTE: If the toggle is already in the position that you are trying

to set it to, you will need to flip it off that position and back

again while holding the TAP footswitch to indicate a

configuration change and register the new mode.

RAMP MODES:

1] Toggle Switch left: The modulation speed will continually

SLOW DOWN as long as the TAP footswitch is held down. Once

the TAP footswitch is released, the speed will return to where it

was before ramping was initiated.
