Knob Behavior In Depth; Presets In Depth; Tempo In Depth - Meris Ottobit jr Manual

SECTION 7 - KNOB BEHAVIOR IN DEPTH
Depending on the EXP Jack modes you have chosen, the Ottobit Jr. will scan the top layer knobs and update the knobs
on power up. If your Ottobit Jr. is set to either "Expression Pedal" or "Tap Switch" for its EXP mode, then it will scan the knobs
at power up. This means if you change the knobs whether the unit is off, those values will be how the pedal sounds next time
you turn the pedal is on. Additionally, the Tempo and the Sequencer Types are auto saved and return to whatever they were
set to last when powering up the pedal. In these two EXP modes, Ottobit Jr. behaves exactly like all classic guitar pedals work
(WYSIWYG). If your Ottobit Jr. is set to either "4 Button Preset Switch" or "MIDI" for its EXP jack mode, then the pedal will
simply recall the preset that is stored in the current memory location. This setting makes sure that the Ottobit Jr. functions like a
standard multi-preset device for those who depend on recalling exact sounds for a performance.
SECTION 8 - PRESETS IN DEPTH
The Ottobit Jr. features 16 internal preset locations. The first four presets are accessible by a compatible 4 button
footswitch and all sixteen presets are accessible by MIDI Program Change messages.
To save a preset simply hold the Alt button. The preset is saved every time you edit the "Alt"/2nd layer knobs, this is how the
Ottobit Jr. is able to keep your sequencer step settings in its memory after a power down.
To save a preset to a different location than your current location, either press the desired preset button on a compatible 4 button
footswitch or send a Program Change message over MIDI to which ever preset you would like to edit. After you are done with
any changes, just press and hold the "Alt" button to save.
The Ottobit Jr. can also send and receive full presets for via MIDI Sysex Data. To send a preset from the Ottobit Jr.
to your computer, while holding the Alt button, press the Bypass LED (sequencer select) switch. The Ottobit Jr. is also always
listening for preset data. Simply send any presets you have backed up on your PC back to the Ottobit Jr. and it will overwrite that
preset with the data you sent. If you are happy with the newly received preset, press Alt and the Ottobit Jr. will save that data
to the current preset location.
SECTION 9 - TEMPO IN DEPTH
In the Ottobit Jr. you can set the tempo using one of the following tapping in quarter notes using the integrated Tap
switch or External Tap switch, MIDI Beat Clock, Tempo MIDI CC, Tap Switch MIDI CC.
The Ottobit Jr. has a very wide tempo range that extends from 23.4 BPM to 6000 BPM. This lets you put the Sequencer in
the audio band to allow for ring mod effects. You can even get the Sequencer running at speeds of up to 768000 BPM by using
the "Sequencer Mult" control.
In the Ottobit Jr., both the Stutter and the Sequencer listen to Tap Tempo. That's also where the "Sequencer Mult" knob
can come in handy; it works the way a note division control works, and you get lots of options to have the Sequencer run at a
faster rate (although still linked to tempo) than the stutter. For odd meters, try limiting the Sequencer to an odd number of steps,
by setting some of the step values to "Skip".
