Section 8 - Applications
Modulating Effects Parameters with the CV Pedal
Objective: You want to use the optional CV Pedal to alter some aspect of an effect algorithm in
real time.
Answer: Almost any parameter of any algorithm can be modulated using one of the eight
programmable controllers which you select in SystemeMIDI mode. Let's suppose you want to
use
the CV Pedal to control the wet/ dry mix of the effect in one of the units.
1. Press System· MIDI until the display shows parameter #37:
DP4
DP4
Controllerl=
I=Inalo9 CU In
2 Set the "DP4 Controllerl" parameter to "DP4 Analog CV In" as shown above (you will use
this and the next seven parameters to define the eight controllers the DP /4 will recognize as
modulators).
3. Press Edit, and select the unit (A, B, C, or D) whose mix you want to modulate using the
pedal.
4. Press the Right Arrow button until the "Mod 1 Src" parameter is showing on the display:
Parameter
Number
~_-....I~ {
Modl Src=Off
will vary
depending
on the
algorithm Illmlil.~~~~.~.~.~.~.~.~1
5. Set the parameter to "Mod 1 Src=Cntrl1." The lower line of the display shows the name of
the controller that has been selected as "Cntrl1" in System. MIDI mode. It should read "DP4
Analog CV In."
6. Press the Right Arrow button one time. The display shows:
Modl Destination
ParaMeter=001
7. Here you select which parameter in the algorithm will be modulated by the selected
controller.
Since Wet/Dry Mix is parameter 01 in every algorithm, set it to "ModI Destination
Parameter=OOl. "
8. The Pedal will now control the mix of the algorithm. If you scroll left to select parameter 01,
you can actually see it change as you move the pedal. Remember to write (save) this as a 1
Unit preset if you want to keep it.
Variations on this procedure can be used to modulate any parameter in real time with any of the
eight selectable controllers.
