Catchup
You would expect that when you turn a Parameter Control Knob, the parameter’s value
would change instantly and, unless Catchup is enabled, it does. Instant changes, however,
may not be desirable for all situations and users. Consider the following example:
You’ve just loaded a Room-based preset and the preset’s Decay is set to 1 sec. Now, let’s say
that the Decay Knob happens to be at its full clockwise position corresponding to a Decay of
3 sec. If you’d like to tweak the Decay (for example, up from its current value of 1 sec to 1.5
sec), you would reach down and turn the knob only to find that the Decay at first abruptly
jumps to its maximum of 3 sec. If this happens while you’re playing, it might be a tad
distracting.
’s Catchup feature is designed to prevent parameter values from abruptly changing
when the knob positions don’t correspond to the Preset values. When Catchup is ON and a
Control Knob is turned, the parameter value doesn’t change instantly. Instead, the display
alternates between the Preset value and the word “TURN” (displayed accompanied by either a
left or right pointing arrows as appropriate). The parameter (and hence the Preset) does not
change until the knob position passes the current parameter value at which point TURN and
the arrow disappear, the parameter name and value are displayed, and the knob becomes
active.
Returning to our example, if Catchup is selected, the Decay will not change until the Control
Knob is turned from its full clockwise position to the position corresponding to the Preset’s
stored value of 1 sec. At that point, the Control Knob becomes “live” allowing you to slightly
increase the Decay time without an abrupt change in the sound of the Preset.
KNOB MODE factory default is [NORMAL]. To select Catchup:
1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few
seconds to enter System Mode.
2) Turn the Encoder until [UTILITY] is displayed.
3) Momentarily press the Encoder.
4) Turn the Encoder until [KNOB MODE] is displayed.
5) Momentarily press the Encoder.
6) Turn the Encoder to select [CATCHUP].
7) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few
seconds to exit System Mode.
Note: You can completely disable the action of the Control Knobs by selecting [LOCKED]
