CONTROLLING EFFECTS

Once you've got your effect
assigned where you want it,
you'll want to recall different
presets, adjust the parameters
and make your own personal
presets.
Press EFFECT 1 or EFFECT 2 to see the parameters of the
effect each processor is running. The various parameters
will be displayed in the screen. Change the value on the
parameter by turning the JOG/DATA wheel, and use the
UP and DOWN CURSOR keys to move between the
various effects.
If EFFECT 1 is assigned as a multi-effect processor, you
all eight mixer channels, you will need to select which
channel's compressor you want
to see. Selecting the channel is
simply done by pressing SELECT
for the channel you wish to
view. The channel number is
displayed in the screen above
the L/R metering.
RECALLING/STORING EFFECTS
There are three different effect libraries, one for each
type of processor: stereo effects, dynamics, and multi-
effects processor. Having the three separate libraries
helps in that you don't have to worry about overwriting
a guitar effect chain with a mastering dynamic patch.
Each library has 128 user definable memory locations,
so you won't run out of space.
In order to access the libraries, first press either
EFFECT 1 or EFFECT 2. The screen should show the
parameters of the current effect. Then, press
ENTER/YES, located just above the arrow keys.
The library will have three
main tabs at the top. The
tab contains programs
that cannot be changed. The
tab is the area where you
can recall your own patches from
memory. The last tab,

will notice the multiple tabs at
the top of the screen. To flip
between the various effects in
the chain, press the LEFT and
RIGHT CURSOR keys.
If EFFECT 2 is assigned as
Dynamic Processors across
,
is where you go to store an effect. To navigate this
window, use the JOG/DATA wheel or the UP and DOWN
CURSOR keys to scroll through the list, and use the LEFT
and RIGHT CURSOR keys to move between the various
tabs on the menus.
In order to recall an effect from the
areas of this library, simply select the effect you
want, and press ENTER/YES.
If you don't want to recall an
effect from this area, press
EXIT/NO.
If you want to store a patch
you have customized, go to
the tab. Again, scroll
down to the patch you want to overwrite. To store
the effect, press ENTER/YES. EXIT/NO will leave the
screen without changing anything.
Again, each of the types of processors will have their
own libraries, and the 788 will automatically send you
to the correct one for the type of processor you are
using. So, if you using the multieffect chain, you
will be directed to the multieffect library. If you are
using dynamics, then you will be routed to the
dynamics library.

EFFECT TYPES

Each processor is capable of producing a number of
different effect types. Below is a list of all the effect
possibilities for each effect assignment.
The multieffect processor can be set up to hold
different effect combinations of up to five at a time.
All of the possible combinations are listed. When
designing your own effects, it is probably best to pick
a guitar sound close to what you want to start with,
then make your minor adjustments.
EFFECT 1 and EFFECT 2 offer the same effect
capabilities when used as a stereo effect processor,
and use the same library. As such, they are listed
together in the chart.
