MANUAL CONTROLLERS
The ve Manual Controllers are virtual knobs with no function other than to serve as modier sources. A Manu-
al controller makes it possible, for instance, to create a “super control” where one knob operates multiple sound
functions at the same time. For example, you might assign delay mix, reverb time and chorus depth parameters
— all at the same time — to the “Manual 1” modier source. Now, when you adjust Manual 1, all of the above
parameters will change simultaneously as desired.
Another good use for Manual Controllers is to simulate an expression pedal when you do not have one handy.
TUTORIAL: MANUAL CONTROLLERS
In this tutorial, we will set up a Manual Controller to adjust the Feedback and Mix of a delay block. Load the
factory preset “#022 Super Verb.”
1. The rst step in using a Manual Controller is to assign it as a Modier Source to the parameter of your
choice. Enter the Layout grid of the preset, navigate to the Delay block, and press EDIT.
2. Use the PAGE buttons to locate the Cong page of the Delay block.
3. NAV to the Feedback parameter and notice the open yellow modier “ring” beneath the knob.
4. With the Feedback parameter highlighted, press ENTER to display the Modier menu.
5. On the Source page, select Manual 1.
6. Page right to the Modify page. Set Min to 0% and the Max to 50%
7. Press EXIT to return to the Delay menu. Notice that the open modier symbol is now a solid yellow dot.
8. NAV down to the Mix parameter and press press ENTER to display the Modier menu.
9. On the Source page, select Manual 1.
10. Page right to the Modify page. Set Min to 5% and the Max to 75%
11. Now let’s try the Manual Controller. Press HOME to show the home page.
12. Press the CONTROLLERS button (Push-knob C).
13. Use the PAGE buttons to locate the Manual page of the Controllers menu.
14. Turn knob A to adjust Manual 1 and listen to your delay settings change. As the knob approaches 100%, the
Delay mix increases (louder echoes) and the Feedback increases (more repeats).
15. Press STORE, ENTER, ENTER to save your work. Not only will all of the modier settings be saved, but the
position of the Manual knob as well.
CONTROL SWITCHES
The six COntrol Switch sources are used with the onboard footswitches or an FC controller. For more information,
