Quick-Pots
There are fi ve
Quick-Pots
on Exponent 500’s front panel�
By default, these pots are mapped to the
Amp EQ
’s four
frequency bands and a
preset-specifi c
control�
In the
Darkglass Suite
, you can freely bind the Quick-
Pots to
your selection of any fi ve controls
from the
effects in your signal chain�
The Quick-Pot feedback shown on the ring of LEDs
depends on the type of control that is bound� The color
displayed on the Quick-Pot is determined by the type of
the effect it is bound to�
For example, a Quick-Pot bound to one of the
Amp EQ
’s
bands is centered at the 12 o’clock position� Moving the
pot left of center reduces the band’s level, and moving
the pot right of center increases the band’s level�
A Quick-Pot bound to the
FET Compressor
ratio will act
like a switch with fi ve positions� Similarly, bypass and
other switch controls show the appropriate feedback�
And, of course, Quick-Pots can act like traditional
potentiometers�
Quick-Pots are bound if there is a color on the center
RGB LED� Quick-Pots without bindings have no LED
feedback�
Changes to the Quick-Pots are
automatically saved
to
the active preset�
