4. The SETUP menu, which provides access to all of the global and band-specific parameters for the six
frequency bands on several text pages.
2.1.1 The program level
The ULTRA-DYNE PRO has over 100 program memory locations, some of which contain factory-preset pro-
grams. These programs contain a large number of basic settings to cover a wide variety of applications. These
programs can be called up very quickly and generally provide good results in practice. Of course, user-defined
settings can be saved as required and recalled at a later time.
2.1.2 The editing level
Use the editing level to modify the preset programs to suit the program material.
The editing window contains eight faders which can be used to optimize these programs. Please note that the
faders do not represent absolute levels, but parameter changes relative to the presets, with the adjustment
limited to a suitable range. These limits only apply to the factory presets and to programs based on the preset
programs.
2.1.3 The meter level
The input and output levels of the six individual bands is displayed in the meter level. It also permits the editing
of parameters while monitoring the effects of the changes on the meters.
2.1.4 The setup level
The full range of all available ULTRA-DYNE PRO parameters can be edited on the setup level. The results can
range from "interesting" to "surprising" to "brilliant". Completely new applications can also be created. The
setup level is thus the domain of experts and those with a passion for experimentation.
The programs and parameters of the editing level can be accessed by pressing the PROCESS key.
2.2 PROCESS mode
The ULTRA-DYNE PRO is in PROCESS mode immediately after being switched on.
Fig. 2.1: <PROCESS> menu
Use this mode to call up the <MEMORY> menu for loading and saving programs. It also provides direct
access to the main parameters of the individual ULTRA-DYNE PRO functions. The VIRTUOSO function can
also be called up directly from the <PROCESS> menu. ULTRA-DYNE PRO uses this function to analyze the
program material and automatically set the Compressor parameters. An information window appears with the
exact designation and value of the selected parameter when using a fader. The softkey C (EDIT) takes you to
the band-specific editing level which permits the individual editing of the Gate and Compressor values for all six
bands. The softkey D (TUBE) provides access to the Tube Simulation and Exciter parameters.
