Getting Started: Modes - Electro-Harmonix Superego+ Manual

GETTING STARTED: MODES

Let's begin our exploration of the Superego+ by learning about the five major
functions you can select with the MODE footswitch. Each press and release of
the MODE footswitch cycles through the following modes:
MOMENT
When set to MOMENT mode, the Superego+ freezes your signal at the moment
you press and hold the BYPASS footswitch and continues to produce the frozen
effect as long you hold down the footswitch. When you release BYPASS the
frozen signal fades out. With a mix of dry signal you can play over the frozen
sound. Release and press and hold the BYPASS footswitch as you play a new
chord/note to create a new freeze.
SUSTAIN (MOMENT+AUTO)
In SUSTAIN mode, the Superego+ works similarly to a piano sustain pedal. The
Superego+ continues to automatically freeze notes as you play and while the
BYPASS footswitch is held down. Use the THRESHOLD knob to set trigger
sensitivity to your playing and instrument. Release BYPASS to fade out the frozen
sound and disable the effect.
AUTO
In AUTO mode, the Superego+ automatically freezes the notes you play while
the pedal is on. Press and release BYPASS once to enable AUTO mode. Double-
tap BYPASS to go into bypass mode. Press and hold BYPASS while a frozen
signal is sounding to momentarily stop accepting new signals; when you release
BYPASS, AUTO mode returns to freezing your notes. Use the THRESHOLD knob
to set trigger sensitivity to your playing and instrument.
LATCH
In LATCH mode, the Superego+ freezes your signal at the moment you press the
BYPASS footswitch and continues to produce the frozen effect even after you
release BYPASS. To freeze a new sound press and release BYPASS again.
Double-tap BYPASS to enter bypass mode and fade-out the frozen signal.
LIVE EFFECTS (MOMENT+AUTO+LATCH)
In LIVE EFFECTS mode the dry signal is routed through the built-in effects of the
Superego+ and the internal synth engine is disabled. You cannot freeze sound
while in this mode. Use either the EFFECT or BYPASS footswitch to toggle an
effect on or off in this mode. The effect signal is routed through the external
effects loop after it goes through the Superego+ internal effects.
