SETTING THE LOCAL PROGRAM
In LOCAL mode (LOCAL/MIDI switch set to LOCAL) the Volcano will respond to the movement of the expression pedal
attached to the expression pedal input according to the setting of the local program set by the 4 switches (labeled 8 4 2
1). Refer to the chart below to select a local program. The programs are described here:
Program 1 sets the Volcano in "slave" mode and is only used when you use two or more Volcanoes together. Connect
another Volcano's MIDI out to the MIDI in of this unit. No expression pedal is connected to a Volcano when it is in slave
mode as all gain is controlled solely by the "master" unit. All additional units after this one are also set to slave mode. If
the switch is set to any other program except program 1, it will always be a master and will always transmit a sync signal
to any connected slave units.
Programs 2-5 set the sweep from OFF when the pedal is full back to several different end gains when the pedal is full
forward. This is similar to a traditional volume pedal except you have your choice of how much gain you have when at
the end of the travel. The final gain is determined by the LINE/INSTRUMENT setting. The program numbers for
instrument settings are shown in parentheses. For example program 3 goes from OFF to 0dB when in LINE mode, but
the same program (shown as (3) ) goes from OFF to +12dB due to the extra 12dB of boost when in INSTRUMENT mode.
Programs 6-13 are similar to 2-5 but offer different starting (back pedal) gains. These limited ranges are useful if you do
not want to go entirely to mute but would rather have more control over a more limited range.
Program 14 is used only when 2 Volcano units are used together in a master/slave configuration (slave unit program set
to program 1) to allow panning of a signal to two amplifiers. Connect an instrument to the inputs of both units using a
'Y' cord or other similar splitter and connect the outputs to two amplifiers. The expression pedal connected to the
master causes both units to operate together to pan the signal. The LINE/INSTRUMENT switch should be set the same in
both units to offer either a 0dB or +12dB output while panning.
Program 15 uses custom curve 1 (same curve as custom curve 1 in MIDI mode) which is a custom data set stored in non-
volatile memory which translates the pedal movement into a non-standard curve. This curve is factory set to be an
aggressive curve with rapid volume increase early in the pedal movement followed by a slower gain increase later on in
the pedal movement. This curve can be programmed by the user to be any curve desired by a custom curve editor to be
released at a later date. (NOTE: in MIDI mode there are 7 custom curves available to the user, all programmable by the
upcoming editor.)
Program 16 is identical to program 3 except this program will also transmit a Control Change signal (CC #0 over channel
1) to the MIDI out port in the event you wish to use the Volcano as an expression pedal to MIDI CC controller. This
program also disables the master/slave sync signal so cannot be used when using Volcanoes in a master/slave
configuration.
