BLANK PRESETS

When scrolling through preset numbers, you may notice some preset numbers have a
dash in front of them. This means that there is no preset stored in that location yet. If
you load one of these "blank" presets, you will load an initialized state with the
following settings:
Tempo = 120BPM
All Four Divisions = 0 (off)
All Four LFO Shapes = Triangle
Mod Type = Vibrato
Filter Type = LPF
Both R-INV = Off
All Knobs = The current physical position of the knob
This can be a useful tool to build a new effect from scratch. The dash also provides an
easy way when saving a new preset to make sure you are not overwriting another
preset you have previously saved.

LOCK BUTTON

Under the TEMPO knob there is a button labeled LOCK. When this button is pressed in,
upon loading a preset, the tempo saved within that preset will not be recalled, and the
currently active tempo will stay the same. If that button is not pushed in when loading a
preset, the tempo saved within the preset will be recalled and replace the currently
active tempo. This button exists to allow you to toggle through presets while keeping
the tempo consistent.
When saving a preset, if you are saving the preset into the same number slot as the
currently loaded preset (essentially updating the currently loaded preset), having the
LOCK button pushed in when saving a preset will not overwrite the saved tempo within
that preset with the currently active tempo. If you update a preset in this way and do
not have the LOCK button pushed in, the saved tempo within that preset will be
overwritten by the currently active tempo. If you save a preset to a different number
slot, the currently active tempo will be saved regardless of the state of the LOCK button.

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET MODE

When recalling a preset, all seven current fluid knob positions (VOL, all four DEPTH
controls, FEEDBACK, and RES) are over-written by the preset's parameters. When a
specific knob after a preset is loaded is rotated that parameter will snap to the knob's
position. If you want to have all fluid knob-parameters snap to where the physical knob
is currently set to at once, hold the TREM DIVISION knob down until all three LEDs to the
left of the display are lit and the display shows four dashes. Release the button and all
knob parameters are now set to where the physical knob is. This is often referred to as
"What You See Is What You Get" mode.
