Source Audio Artifakt Lo-Fi Elements User Guide
LED Behaviors & Hardware Shortcuts
Artifakt is the first Source Audio pedal to utilize a new hardware platform, the SA28X
platform, which features full RGB multicolor LEDs which are very useful for displaying
different modes and behaviors. Artifakt utilizes a handful of different colors on its LEDs.
Here is a guide to tell you all the relevant LED behaviors, as well as a few “shortcuts”;
essentially hidden hardware options using a combination of knobs/switches.
LED Color Guide
White
Control LED: A white Control LED indicates a factory reset is taking place. Once the reset
is successful, the Control LED will no longer be lit.
Preset LEDs: Presets #17-128 are indicated by the preset LEDS turning white.
ON/OFF & OPTION LEDs: When both these LEDs are illuminated, Artifakt is in Preset
Scroll mode. Use the ON/OFF footswitch to scroll backward through presets, and the
OPTION footswitch to scroll forward through presets. Press both switches to exit Scroll
mode.
Amber
Control LED: An amber Control LED indicates ALT mode is in use. Tap the ALT button to
enter ALT mode. The Control LED will flash amber while in ALT mode. If no controls are
touched, Artifakt will automatically exit ALT mode within a second or two.
Preset LEDs: Preset slots #1-4 are indicated by the preset LEDs in amber. By default, these
four slots are blank, but can be overwritten with any preset you’d like.
ON/OFF LED: When the ON/OFF LED is illuminated with amber, the Artifakt is engaged.
Tap the ON/OFF footswitch to bypass the Artifakt.
OPTION LED: An amber OPTION LED indicates that the OPTION/TAP footswitch is being
used for Tap Tempo.
Red
Preset LEDs: Preset slots #5-8 are indicated by the preset LEDs in red. By default, these
four slots are loaded with four Factory Presets in the Old Machines group, but can be
overwritten with any preset you’d like.
