What's In The Display - Alesis 4 Reference Manual

What's in the Display?

When the MidiVerb 4 is first turned on, the display will look something like this:
1
The MidiVerb 4's display is divided into 5 sections:
Program Number . MidiVerb 4 Programs are numbered from 00
to 127. In this example the Program selected is number 01.
Bank . The MidiVerb 4 has two Banks of 128 Programs: the
Preset Bank and User Bank. The display will either say "PRESET" or
"USER", depending on the current Bank In this example we are in
the Preset Bank.
Program Name . Each Program has its own eight character
name. This one is called Lrg Hall. The 128 User Programs can be
renamed; the 128 Preset Programs are pre-programmed at the
factory and cannot be renamed.
Configuration . This tells us which effects are used by this
Program, the order in which our input signal(s) will pass through
them, and whether this is a Stereo or Dual Configuration (more about
Configurations in Chapter 3). The Configuration for this Program is
called CONCERT HALL. Once a Program has been edited, the
Configuration's name in this display will appear in lower case letters.
Level Meters . These peak style meters monitor the signal
strength of the unprocessed inputs, and are used in much the same
way as the level meters on a standard tape recorder. The meters
shown in this example are idle, indicating that there is no input
signal activity. Normally, these are labeled as "L" and "R". However,
when the selected Program uses a Dual type Configuration (two mono
effects), these will be labeled as "CH1" and "CH2". For more
information on Dual Configurations, see Chapter 3.
