About Select Mode
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 ({A}, {B}, {C}, or {D}) have been
pressed after pressing the {SELECT} button.
Input Configuration type: What type of presets you can select:
1 source configuration 4-Unit Presets
2 source configuration 2-Unit Presets
3 source configuration two 1-Unit Presets and one 2-Unit Preset
4 source configuration four 1-Unit Presets
In this mode, the display shows the selected preset’s number, name, unit algorithm(s), the
currently selected unit and the signal routing. The Data Entry Knob and the {<} and {>} buttons
select new presets.

Preset Number Algorithm and signal routing information
• The red LED display (on the left) shows the preset’s location within the DP/4+ memory. If
any parameters have been edited (changed) within this preset, this display will show “- -.”
• The top line of the LCD display (on the right) shows the presets name.
• The bottom line shows which algorithm (effect) is in each unit as well as signal routing
information, depending on the current configuration.
In a 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
the diagram above, it’s Unit B). If none of the algorithm abbreviations are capitalized, it means
that the Config is activated. Try pressing the different Unit buttons ({A}, {B}, {C}, and/or {D})
to see the abbreviations change between lower case and upper case. When you press the
{CONFIG} button, there are no capitalized algorithm abbreviations.
When a unit is selected by pressing its Unit button ({A}, {B}, {C}, or {D}):
• its algorithm abbreviation is capitalized
• that unit will be selected for editing, if you press the {EDIT} button.
• pressing its button again will bypass the unit (its red LED will light)
