Remote Controlling Parameters
Parameters can be remote controlled via MIDI or the rear panel
foot pedal jacks. To remote control a parameter, first highlight it
with the cursor. In our example, we’re going to remote control
the parameter
delay
in the program “
mono delay
” (found in
the “
Delays
” bank).
With the cursor in place, press and hold the

key until
the screen changes to the “remote control” menu page. After
pressing and holding the SELECT key on the parameter
delay
above, we arrive at the external modulation menu page shown to
the right.
This is the same menu page we discussed
ad nauseam
in
External Modulation and Trigger Menu Pages
on page 39.
We won’t rehash it here.

To change the “hold time,” see
Miscellaneous Setup Options
on page 63.
We can exit this screen by pressing the
*done*
SOFT KEY
. You
may notice that the DSP7000 flashes, “
Control will be lost
if preset is not saved
” if the parameter you are remote
controlling belongs to a program (as opposed to a “global”
parameter such as an input level). This means that you must
<save>
or
<update>
the program to ensure that your remote control will still be there the
next
time you
load the program. Of course, if you don’t care if the remote control is there the next time you load the pro-
gram, then don’t worry about it!

See
Saving a Program
on page 56, and
Updating a Program
on page 57.
Assuming that the
mode
on the above menu page was set to
something other than
off
when you exited,
delay
will be un-
derlined. This indicates that it is remote controlled.
The underline blinks to add an element of fun and excitement to
the DSP7000’s display and to cheer you up when you’re feeling glum. You can return to the remote control
menu page by highlighting
delay
and holding the
SELECT
key again. If you change the
mode
to
off
on the
“remote control” menu page,
delay
will no longer be underlined and nothing will blink.
MIDI Groups
The use of "MIDI groups" allows an alternative way to control the DSP7000 from MIDI, with the mini-
mum of setting up. A MIDI group is a numbered sequence of MIDI controllers, for example 70,71,72...77.
When the DSP7000 has been told to respond to this group, these controllers will correspond to the parame-
ters on the DSP7000's screen. This allows a multi-controller such as the Peavey PC1600 to control the
DSP7000 with very little configuration required.
For example, referring to the parameter screen at the right, the MIDI group from 70-77 would give you the
following results:
70
predelay
74
hi decay
71
decay time
75
hi freq
72
room size
76
lo decay
73
diffusion
77
lo freq
