Simple Editing
Once you have selected a preset, you can edit it. Algorithms, parameters, routings, and
configurations can all be edited and are covered in more detail in later sections of the manual.
Here are a few simple editing steps to begin understanding the DP / 4's full potential.
Choosing Units to Edit
Before you can edit the algorithms, you need to select each unit individually:
1.
Press Edit.
2 Press Unit A, B, C, or D to select that unit's algorithm (effect) for editing. The active unit's
LED should be lit. The LED display should say "00," if not,
3. Press the Left Arrow button until the display looks similar to
this:
~:~lgorithM
NaMe
Mix=50 UoluMe=99
Choosing Different Algorithms
After you've chosen a unit, the LCD display will show several things. First, the letter in the
upper left hand comer shows which unit is active. In this case, it's Unit
A.
This is followed by
the algorithm name that is located in Unit A (name flashing). The second line shows the mix of
the effect to the dry signal, and the volume of the algorithm.
• Tum the Data Entry Knob to select any of the available effect algorithms. The LED display
will show the single effect algorithm preset location, and after one second it will "zero out" to
the first parameter of the algorithm. This zeroing out loads that algorithm into the selected
unit, replacing the algorithm that was there previously. Try selecting several new algorithms
in this manner.
Editing the Mix
• Press the Right Arrow button once to select the Mix parameter (01 in the LED Numeric
display). The mix amount will be flashing. Move the Data Entry Knob clockwise or counter
clockwise to change the mix ratio of the effect to the dry signal. As soon as you change the
mix value (with the Data Entry Knob), the Edit LED flashes. This indicates that you have
now changed a parameter from its default value, and the newly edited version is in the EDIT
BUFFER. By pressing the Edit button you can toggle between the original setting (LED
solidly lit) and the newly edited version (LED flashing) of that parameter. The parameter
values shown in the display always reflect what is currently being done to process the signal.
In other words, what you see is what you hear.
Changing the Parameters
All of the other parameters within the selected unit can be edited in the same fashion:
• Use the Left and Right Arrow buttons to select the parameters, and the Data Entry Knob to
change the values of the active parameter.
