Venom User Guide
Programs
Venom provides 4 Banks of 128 Single Programs each and 2 Banks of 128 Multi Programs each. Banks A and
B of the Single Programs are “Preset Programs,” and Banks C and D can be used for storing your own “User Pro-
grams.”
Selecting Single Program Presets
A Single Program stores and recalls all of the synthesizer parameter settings for a single sound, including the
settings for its Insert Effect, 2 Global Bus Effects, the Main EQ, and one Arpeggiator Pattern.
To select a Venom Single Program preset:
1 Press the Single button to switch Venom to Single Mode.
2 Press the Bank button to toggle through and select Bank A, B, C, or D.
3 Turn the Value knob to locate and select the Single Program preset you want.
Selecting Multi Program Presets
A Multi Program stores and recalls references to up to 4 Single Programs, including the respective Insert Effect
for each referenced Single Program and 2 Effects Busses for all referenced Single Programs, as well as the Main
EQ, 4 Arpeggiator Patterns, and MIDI controller and keyboard assignments.
To select a Venom Multi Program preset:
1 Press the Multi button to switch Venom to Multi Mode.
2 Press the Bank button to select either Bank A or Bank B.
3 Turn the Value knob to locate and select the Multi Program preset you want.
Editing Single Programs
Once you have selected a Single Program, you can edit it to your liking. Using the Performance Control Ma-
trix, you can change the settings of several synthesizer parameters (see “Performance Control Matrix” on
page 7). Using MIDI software with Venom connected to your computer via USB, or using a remote program-
mable MIDI controller (such as the Axiom Pro) you can edit most of the other synthesizer and effects param-
eters using the corresponding MIDI CC number or NRPN (see“Advanced Synthesizer and Effects Editing” on
page 36).
