Setup Presets
The Setup Presets are organized
as follows:
101-150 = Single Setups
201-225 = Dual Mono Setups
301-325 = Cascade Setups
Single Set-Ups contain one ef-
fect running in a single unified
machine (both DSP engines
working as one).
Dual Mono and Cascade can be
thought of as "split" configura-
tions, and are capable of simulta-
neously running two different (or
identical) effects.
Effect Presets
Effect Presets are organized as
follows:
101-115 = Random Hall Presets
201-210 = Random Ambience
301-308 = Rich Plates
401-409 = Stereo Adjust
501-508 = Stereo Pitch Shift
These can only be loaded into
Single Setups (101-150) .
601-616 = Dual Delays
701-720 = Split Chambers
801-810 = Mono Pitch Shift
901-902 = Compressor
001 = the PONS Program for
Mastering Applications
010 = Small Stereo Adjust
These can only be loaded into
"Split" Setups (201-325).

By far the most important aspect of the 300 is the Setup and its association to
the digital effect(s) that you want to use. The 300 has three types of Setups:
CONTROL
Single, Dual Mono, and Cascade. Each is strikingly different and together they
provide incredible audio possibilities.
SETUP
Each Setup includes one or more effects along with other items such as
EDIT
EFFECT machine input(s) and source balance(s), the relationship between wet (effect)
and dry (input) mixing for each machine, meter functions, LFO rates and
EDIT
shapes, and a naming function. In addition, there are two(2) modulation patches
MOD
which can link source controllers to two Setup parameters.
EDIT
To simplify the choice among the many possible effect and system routings, the
300 is shipped with 100 Setup Presets. (The organization of the Setup Presets
is shown to the left.) These factory presets cannot be overwritten, but can be
modified and stored as User Setups in any of 50 Setup Registers.
Audio effects, of course, are what the 300 is all about, and a total of 100 Effect
Presets are provided for loading into the three Setup types. Five algorithms can
be loaded into Single Setups: Random Hall, Random Ambience, Rich Plate,
Stereo Pitch Shift, and Stereo Adjust. Six different algorithms can be loaded into
the "split" Setups (Dual Mono and Cascade): Dual Delays, Split Chamber, Mono
Pitch Shift, Compressor, PONS, and Small Stereo Adjust. (The organization of
the Effect Setups is also shown to the left.)
Each algorithm has its own control parameters. Random Hall, for example, has
28. The front panel EFFECT EDIT key and the Soft knob, allow effect
parameters to be adjusted along a range of values, dramatically altering the
audible effect of the algorithm. An effect can also activate as many as 4 patches,
each linking a source controller to a parameter. This MOD EDIT function is
intrinsically mapped as an extension of the EFFECT EDIT function. Saving
either saves the other. (The Effect Presets cannot be overwritten, but can be
modified and stored as custom Effects in any of 50 Effect Registers.)
In summary, the 300 is organized into setups and effects. Setups are collections
of many decisions, including DSP routing, Input levels, Source, Balances, LFO
Rate and Shape, and an Effect or Effects. These selections are grouped
together, named and stored so they can be called up with a single user action.
Each Effect included in a Setup contains an algorithm, a complete set of
parameters, and 4 patches. As with Setups, Effects can be loaded, copied,
edited, named, and stored, as well as dumped and recalled via MIDI.
