– If you want to save the Preset where it cur-
rently is, do not change this value.
– If you would like to save the Preset to another
location, change “Store To” to another num-
ber.
The name of the selected Preset slot will be
displayed in the upper part of the screen.
Using Store To is handy when you would like to
make several Presets with similar sounds. You
can create a “master” Preset and store it so a
few different locations using Store To. You can
then edit those copies further if you wish.
Store menu
When you are finished naming and assigning
your Preset, simply press Store again to com-
plete the operation.
Storing Presets and HIT Behavior
When you have set HIT Behavior to “Snapshot”
mode, you must save the Preset for each HIT
state – on and off – in order for your changes to
be stored. Prepare both variations of the Preset
(on and off) and store them, like this:
– Turn HIT off.
– Turn the effects on that you would like to use
when HIT is off.
– Press the Store button twice.
– Turn HIT on.
– Turn the effects on that you would like to use
when HIT is on.
– Press the Store button twice.
Tapping tempo
You can use Tap Tempo to have the tempo-
based effects align with the tempo of your song.
– Press and HOLD the Delay footswitch.
– You should see the Delay footswitch pulse
with a purple LED, and the current tempo (in
beats per minute) will be displayed.
– Tap the Delay footswitch in time with the song
you are performing (or about to perform).
– After a few beats, stop tapping the footswitch
and wait for the Tempo display to disappear.
– If it is not already on, activate the Delay effect
with its footswitch.
– You should hear your Delay “taps” trail off in
time with the music.
There is another function in the tap tempo win-
dow that you may find handy. Let’s try it.
– Enter Tap Tempo mode the same way you just
did.
– You will notice that the Preset up and Preset
down footswitches are lit solid blue.
– These footswitches allow you to increase or
decrease the tempo in 1 BPM increments.
– For example, press the Preset down foot-
switch to decrease the tempo.
Manually adjusting the Tap Tempo can be handy
if you want to set a specific tempo, e.g. when you
have to follow a click track. And of course, both
methods can be combined: Use tapping to “get
close” to the desired tempo and use the Preset
footswitches for fine-tuning.
