Install the Hardware Bypass plugin via the plugins store (see Installing new plugins
section) and add it to your pedalboard. Now you can assign the ON/OFF parameter to any
physical actuator (see Assigning plugins parameters to actuators section) and control the
true bypass with it.
CPU Usage
In the status bar of the GUI there are CPU and RAM meters. It is useful to monitor these
resources when you are creating your pedalboard. It’s recommended to keep the CPU
usage lower than 80%. Note that each plugin consumes a different amount of CPU and
RAM.
LED audio meters
The LED audio meters are very useful to adjust the volumes of both inputs and outputs.
Check the table below to understand what the colors represent.
-30 dB < Signal < -12 dB
-12 dB < Signal < -3 dB
About plugins
The MOD Duo is not only a platform for musicians but also for developers, because it uses
the LV2 open standard for audio plugins and thus allows any developer to create his/her own
plugin (without any license restrictions). LV2 has a huge community and a vast
documentation already available online. As a first step, consider checking the official LV2
website: http://lv2plug.in.
Upgrading the MOD Duo
New features and also fixes are frequently released as new versions of software. The MOD
Duo will inform you via GUI (see accessing the graphical interface section) when a new
release is available.
