- In Select mode you select Presets. These can be 1 Unit, 2 Unit, 4 Unit, or Config Presets,
depending on the current config and on which unit buttons have been pressed in conjunction
with the Select button. While in Select mode, presets can also be copied to new locations by
pressing the Write button.
• In Edit mode you can edit the parameters of presets, algorithms and configs. Edit Mode is also
the easiest place to change the algorithm
in a single unit. Presets that have been edited can be
saved
in Edit mode (by pressing Write).
- In System-MIDI mode you can edit MIDI parameters, system (global) parameters. Pressing
Write will access the MIDI SysEx
data transfer function for storage of DP / 4 presets and
system parameters.
Select Mode
In Select mode, the display shows the selected preset's number, name, unit algorithms, the
currently selected
unit and the signal routing. The Data Entry Knob and the Left/Right Arrow
buttons select new presets.

Algorithms and Signal Routing Information
- The red LED display shows the preset's location within the DP /4 memory.
- The top line of the LCD display shows the presets name .
- The bottom line shows which algorithm (effect) is in each unit plus some signal routing
information, depending on the current configuration.
In a Config, 2 Unit, or 4 Unit preset,
you will notice that one of the abbreviations in your display
is capitalized. This shows
that the capitalized algorithm is located in the currently selected unit (in
our preset it's Unit B). If none of the unit abbreviations are capitalized, it means that the Config
is activated.
Try pressing the different Unit buttons to see the abbreviations change between
lower case and upper case. When you press the Config button, there are no capitalized letters.
When a unit is selected (capitalized), it means 1) pressing its button again will bypass the unit,
and 2) that unit will be selected for editing if you press Edit.
