Footswitch Control; Alternate Settings - TC-Helicon Quintet User Manual

The Quintet has been designed to work with
the Switch-3, three button footswitch.
**The Quintet must be powered up with the
foot switch plugged in for proper
operation.**
The footswitch buttons provide the following
control:
BUTTON 1
This allows selection of the Main and
Alternate settings for use with Scale Presets.
BUTTON 2
Pressing this button is the same as pressing
the BYPASS key on the front panel.
BUTTON 3
Pressing this button is the same as pressing
the HARMONY MUTE key on the front panel.

Alternate Settings

Alternate settings may be accessed only with a
footswitch and are applicable to Scale Presets
only.
Alternate settings allow you to store different
voicings, Scale Type and Scale root. To set
alternate settings for a Scale Preset do the
following:
1. Power up the Quintet with a Switch-3
footswitch plugged in.
2. Select a Scale Preset.
3. Press BUTTON 1 of the Switch-3 footswitch.
Notice that there is now an "a" following the
preset number.
4. You can now change which voices are
enabled from the front panel for the
Alternate setting.
5. Press the EDIT key to change the scale root
and scale type. When alternate is selected
you may change all parameters under the
edit menu except for the H
parameter, however only the scale root and
type will remain unique to the alternate
settings, all other changes will affect the
whole preset.
