ALPHA·OMEGA PHOTON: USER GUIDE
ROTARY FOOTSWITCH ENCODERS
Below the touch sliders are three rotary footswitch
encoders A , B , and C , which can be pressed or rotated.
These footswitch encoders enable many of the
Alpha·Omega Photon’s functions. Simply press A, B, or C
to switch to the preset stored in that footswitch.
The rotational position of each encoder is displayed on
the five LEDs under each encoder. Additionally, when
rotating, the position is shown on the potentiometer
LEDs - this is a visual aid that does not affect the
potentiometer configuration.
· Rotating A allows you to change the compressor ratio
or bypass the compressor.
· Rotating B allows you to change the distortion mode
or bypass the distortion.
· Rotating C allows you to change the active IR in the
signal chain or bypass the IR.
When none of the five LEDs are lit, the respective
compressor/distortion/IR is bypassed.
Rotating B allows you to bypass or change the distortion
mode. The modes are:
1. Alpha·Omega
2. Alpha·Omega with
GROWL
3. Alpha·Omega with
BITE
4. Alpha·Omega with GROWL and BITE
5. Alpha·Omega Studio Rig with GROWL and BITE
BASIC OPERATION
EDITING AND SAVING PRESETS
Editing and saving presets on the Alpha·Omega Photon
is remarkably easy. If any of the parameters are changed
(i.e. potentiometers, sliders, encoder rotation), the color
LED of your current preset will gently breathe, indicating
that the edit or audition mode is active.
Auditions are an easy way to try new sounds and settings,
which can be either saved or discarded. When you find
a sound that you would like to save, the audition can be
saved into any of the three presets by pressing and holding
one of the preset footswitches for two seconds. All LEDs
on the Alpha·Omega Photon will flash rapidly a few times
indicating that your edits have been saved into a preset.
A new audition is always entered when changing any
parameter from an unedited/saved preset. This will
overwrite any previous unsaved auditions/edits.
During an edit/audition, you can change to any of the
three saved presets by pressing the footswitch associated
with that preset. After changing to a preset, pressing the
footswitch again will swap between that preset and your
active editing session.
