Tapping input of delay time
The delay time of the delay module can be set by tapping
the BANK
▲
pedal in the desired interval. By mastering this
technique, you can easily adjust the delay time to match the
tempo of a song.
• In Play mode, select the patch you want to edit (from
either the USER or the PRESET group). Press the
EDIT/CANCEL key to activate the Edit mode.
• Tap the BANK
▲
pedal at least twice, in the desired
tempo.
The 4040 detects the interval between taps of the pedal
switch and sets the delay time accordingly.
• Press the EDIT/CANCEL key once more to return to
the Play mode.
The tapping input method can be used only for the
delay time of the DELAY module, and only when
the DELAY module is on. The maximum delay time
is 1000 ms. If the tapping interval is between 1000
and 2000 ms, the delay time will be set to one half
the interval time. If the tapping interval is more
than 2000 ms, the delay time is not set.
External effecter loop
An external effect device connected to the EXTERNAL
SEND/RETURN connector is inserted in series between the
compression and distortion sections in the PRE module. The
on/off setting of the send/return loop can be stored as part of
a patch. This lets you for example connect a compact
effecter for distortion etc. and control it as part of the 4040.
• In Play mode, press the EDIT/CANCEL key to
activate the Edit mode.
• Use the PARAMETER SELECT key to select the
TOTAL parameter EXTERNAL LOOP.
• Use the VALUE +/- keys to set the parameter value to 1
(on).
The signal is now routed through the external loop and
can be altered by any device connected in the loop.
• If you wish to use this setting also in future, store the
patch.
Since the on/off condition of the external loop will
be controlled by the 4040, you should leave the
connected effect switched on. The signal level
returned to the 4040 can be adjusted a t the
connected effect.
External control
Some guitar amplifiers or preamplifiers with several
channels allow the user to switch channels with a foot
switch. Some amplifiers also allow internal effect on/off
control by foot switch. The EXTERNAL CONTROL OUT
connector of the 4040 can be used to duplicate the action of
a foot switch for amplifier channel control or internal effect
on/off control in conjunction with a patch of the 4040.
