with the presets settings. Global IA Slots on the other hand ignore the Initial states programmed into a preset
and maintain their status and state from preset to preset (unless overridden intentionally at the preset level).
Global Init IA State
OFF
Since Global IA Slots ignore preset initial states, it creates an issue whereby we may want a Global IA slot to have
a particular starting point when the controller is powered up. This parameter allows you to select either the
OFF, ON or BYPASS state as the starting state for the Global IA Slot.
Group ID
000
There are times that IA Slots may need to be "Coordinated". Groups are used to manage a process whereby only
one IA slot in a group can be in the ON state at any given time. If a user triggers a Chorus effect which was
"grouped" with a Flanger effect, then it is the job of the controller to shut off the flanger (and all other effects tied
to the same group) and allow the Chorus to be the only active "ON" effect. A group can have all connected IA
Switches OFF or in BYPASS, but only one of the IA Slots in a group can be ON at any given time.
There are seven groups available, By default the group is set to 0, which means the IA Slot is not a part of a
group. Groups are defined by coloring the switch. Each group has its own color. The active IA Slot in a group will
have a bright color while the inactive effects in the group will have the same color, but will be dimmed.
There are two ways that the controller manages group connections. Depending on your equipment, you will
need to insure the proper processing. The Global Parameter "Group (Make/Break)" defines the behavior. Simply
put, in a "Turn Active On 1
group, and will then process the OFF messages for all the IA Slots that are being forced off because of the
grouping requirement. In a "Inactive off 1
forced off, before it processes the ON messages of the IA Slot that was triggered ON in the group.
