3.10 Tailoring TC 2290 to your own requirements.
Making fading echo tails when bypassing
We go now to some new and interesting aspects of the TC 2290. As an
example we will try different bypass-methods as we promised earlier. To do
this, first recall our ‘old’ preset 1 of 400mS delay and a feedback of '25'.
Try to turn off the delay effect while playing. The echo immediately ‘stops’.
Now, imagine you are playing with a long echo that does not stop
immediately when bypassing, but finishes ‘fading out' the echo repeat.
Now the extravaganza really starts -
The <SPEC> key !
This <SPEC> key is the base for a lot of extraordinary functions on the TC
2290. The hardware itself is capable of a lot more than you see on the
frontpanel. We installed this special key to make it possible for you to tailor
your TC 2290 to your individual requirements, and to open up future
expansion capabilities. We will try an example, personalizing the bypass
method.
To get a ‘tail’ of echo repeats, after bypassing, a special function is used:
<SPEC> ; the DELAY display now shows the last spec.no. and 'S.NO'.
You can now enter the special no. you want to change,
press:
<2><6> ; No. '26' is the special parameter for the Bypass Method.
<ENTER> ; Note that as you pressed <ENTER> the DELAY display
changed to show '2' and, to the right ‘S.VAL' to show that
'2' is the current ‘special value’ of this spec.no.
<0> ; to change the value to 'O' for ‘input mute’ and
<ENTER> ; to end your command.
PRESET 1 is now changed to have ‘Mute on input only’ when bypassing.
Try playing and press <DELAY ON> and OFF and notice that you now get
a tail of echo repeats, even after you've pressed OFF.
We will make this the last of your 10 ‘rehersal’ presets
Your 10** preset sound, 400mS Delay w.tail
Press:
<PRESET> <1> <0> <STORE>
Now this particular Preset 10 has it’s bypass method programmed to ‘input
mute’ just like e.g the delaytime of 400mS is stored in this particular
PRESET 10.
if you later copy the preset 10, (recall preset 10 and store in another preset
number) the bypass method is copied as well.
Of course you can change back by using the <SPEC> key and the correct
numbers, whenever you want.
