Setting and Monitoring Levels
The TimeFactor’s output levels can be adjusted to optimize performance in most setups.
It is sometimes desirable to adjust the output level of a given Effect/Preset. For example, an
effect like DuckedDelay may have changes in amplitude and, depending on a given Preset’s
parameter settings, you may find it too quiet or too loud. This is a consequence of the effect
and not a question of level matching to best fit in a setup. For this reason, Output Level
settings can be tweaked and saved with the Preset.
Setting Preset Output Level
To set Preset Output Level in PLAY Mode, hold down the Left Footswitch for 2 seconds from
the Bypass state. This puts the unit into Active, as well as Preset O/P Level Adjust Mode.
While the Footswitch is pressed and held, the display will show “OP 0dB” (default). While
continuing to hold the footswitch down, you can optionally turn the Encoder Knob to adjust
Preset Output Level from -20dB to +6dB in 1dB increments. Preset must be saved to store
this setting.
To set Preset Output Level in BANK Mode, press and hold the Left or Middle Footswitch while
in Bypass.
Monitoring Input Level
To make it easier to control input noise (hiss), we have added an input signal level.
To access the meter, make sure the TimeFactor is in PLAY Mode. Press and hold both the Left
and Right Footswitches. A vertical bar will appear in the middle display, and a meter will light
from left to right when there is an input signal present. For best signal-to-noise performance,
each input signal peak should go past the bar in the middle. If it does not, it indicates that
the input level is on the low side. In this case, a buffer or preamp should be used to boost
the input level.
