Using the DPC-‐4EZ
PRESET MODES:
The DPC-‐4EZ has the ability to engage multiple bypass loops and a MIDI program with a
single tap. This collection of settings is called a “preset.” If you prefer to control your loops
manually, the DPC-‐4EZ may be set to start up in the manual mode and the preset modes may
be safely ignored.
The DPC-‐4EZ has three presets per bank, with four banks for a total of twelve (12) presets
accessible from the DPC-‐4EZ itself. 128 presets may be saved and accessed by using an
external MIDI controller.
The current preset bank may be selected by tapping button B4 to cycle through the red,
green, blue, or violet modes.
To select a preset, press any select button B1-‐B3 while the DPC-‐4EZ is in the red, green,
blue, or violet preset mode. Pressing the currently selected preset puts the DPC-‐4EZ into its
bypass state. The bypass state may be set up as an additional preset or “favorite” sound.
MANUAL MODE:
To enter manual mode, simply hold the bank button (B4) until its LED turns either OFF or
WHITE. Tap buttons 1-‐4 to select the loops. The LED colors match the loop jack colors –
Loop 1 blue, Loop 2 green, Loop 3 red, and Loop 4 is white.
To save the currently selected loops to a preset, press-‐hold B3 to store. The bank LED will
begin flashing red. Tap B4 to select the destination bank (red, green, blue, or violet.) Once
the bank has been selected, press-‐hold any button B1-‐B3 to save the preset to that location.
Tapping B1 while the bank LED is flashing sets the loop status to “don’t care.” In this mode,
selecting this preset will not change the status of the loops. This can be used to send a MIDI
change to a connected device without affecting the non-‐MIDI pedals. The DPC-‐4EZ will
indicate “don’t care” mode by flashing the blue LED above B1. Save the preset while the LED
is flashing to assign “don’t care” to that location.
If a MIDI controller is connected to the DPC-‐4EZ MIDI input, the DPC-‐4EZ can “learn” an
incoming MIDI program change to save a preset. Enable the loops for the preset, then hold
B3 to enter store mode. Optionally, tap B1 to assign “don’t care” if desired, and then send a
MIDI program change from your MIDI controller. The DPC-‐4EZ will flash to indicate the
preset has been saved. Sending MIDI program change 0 will set the “bypass” preset.
