4. PRESETS
Your V-AMPIRE features 125 overwritable presets divided
into 25 banks. In other words, there are five presets available
per bank. Each preset consists of a maximum of five ingredients:
s amp simulation (including GAIN, EQ and VOLUME settings)
s cabinet simulation
s pre-amp effect, such as noise gate, compressor, auto wah
and wah-wah
s post-amp multi-effect, such as delay, modulation effect, or
a combination of both
s reverb effect
The enclosed sheet shows an overview of all the presets.
4.1 Calling up presets
When you power on your LX1200H, it automatically loads the
last used preset. In the following example, the last preset selected
was preset D in bank 25:
Fig. 4.1: Calling up presets
In this case, by pressing button A, B, C or E you can immediately
call up another preset of the same bank. The two arrow buttons
(BANK UP and BANK DOWN) enable you to switch banks.
The display always shows which bank has been selected.
When you switch banks, the preset has to be called up by
pressing one of the buttons A - E. One LED lights up to show you
which preset in the respective bank has been activated.
4.2 Editing presets
Editing presets is fast and simple. One option is to call up a
preset you like and then start editing it. Select an amp model by
means of the AMPS encoder. The LED on the preset button
flashes (e.g. D) and signals that you have made a change to the
preset.
Now change the settings of the VOLUME, BASS, MID, TREBLE
and GAIN controls as you like. If you select an effect, you can
adjust its ratio in the overall sound using the EFFECTS control.
You then switch to EDIT mode by pressing the arrow buttons
simultaneously. If you use buttons B - E to activate the DRIVE,
CABINETS, REVERB and NOISE GATE functions respectively
and then edit using the arrow buttons, the value of the respective
parameter is shown in the display. To quit EDIT mode, briefly
press the TUNER button.
If you hold the TAP button down while using the TREBLE control,
you can raise or lower an additional high-frequency filter
(PRESENCE). This simulates the frequency-dependent negative
feedback of tube amps.
+ Apart from compressor and auto wah, all the multi-
effects have a speed-based parameter. Say you
want to set the effect youve selected to the tempo
of your playback: just tap the TAP button twice in
time to the music and the effect tempo will match
the tempo of your piece.
4.3 Storing presets
To store your edited preset, hold down the preset button
required for approx. 2 seconds for the preset to be overwritten
(the corresponding LED lights up throughout).
+ You do not necessarily have to store your edited
preset in place of the original preset selected. If
you choose a different storage position, select the
preset bank you want using the arrow buttons
(BANK UP and BANK DOWN). You can store your
changes by holding down the preset button for
approx. two seconds. For example, you can edit a
preset originally stored in bank 5, position D, and
then store it in bank 6, position A.
4.4 Discarding an edited preset/restoring a
single factory preset
If you have edited a preset and find that you dont like the
edited version, you can, of course, discard it. Lets assume
youve selected and then edited preset C (the corresponding
LED has lit up), but you would now like to return to the
configuration stored previously. Simply select another preset.
The next time you call up the preset, the temporarily edited
version is discarded. After editing, you can also hold down the
two arrow buttons until Pr appears in the display, which brings
back the factory preset that was originally stored there. However,
you then have to save it again by holding down the corresponding
preset button for approx. two seconds.
4.5 Restoring all factory presets
All factory presets can be restored as follows: Hold down
buttons D and E and then switch on the device. CL
appears in the display. Now release the two buttons and press
the two arrow buttons simultaneously. This erases all the edited
presets you have stored and restores the factory presets. Please
refer to chapter 8.3.1 if you need information on how to save
your settings via MIDI.
