Start up time is currently a bit long, so don’t panic if nothing is happening for a few seconds. Once Digit / Beebo has started up we’re at the main screen, with the default preset (the first one in your set list) loaded. From here we can add modules, change the settings of existing modules, connect modules or load a preset.
The new delay will appear on the screen and you can now drag it to a comfortable spot. You can drag any module at any time to move it. To start I recommend tapping the help button (the ? mark) which will turn on the extra help labels. Remember that single modules can be very powerful, so start with a small number of them and understand them before adding more.
1 to connect them. If you’re connecting things with multiple inputs or outputs a screen will appear where you can select which to use. 1.5. CHANGE SETTINGS We can now change the settings of the delay. Tap on it to get up the controls. Many modules have extra controls in the side menus.
1.7. PRESETS To save or load a preset tap the floppy disk icon. You’ll also see a set list option. This is what order you move through the presets in your set list when pressing both center and right or center and left foot switches together.
1.10. LFO / CONTROL SIGNALS As you saw with foot switches, one module can control another. If we now add a low frequency oscillator (LFO) we can use that to control other settings on the delay. Add the LFO then hold it and tap the delay.
Page 10
Control signals are coloured green. The effect will be quite strong, so if we want to reduce we can tap on the LFO and reduce the level. A uni polar LFO will only got from 0-1 (positive) but if you set that to zero it’ll go negative and positive.
/ AM style control possibilities. 1.11. FIRMWARE UPDATE If you have a very early Digit and currently have version 1.something (eg 1.7) firmware installed (check in the setting menu) please contact me before updating. For Beebo or January 2020 or later versions of Digit, please grab the packages in the ’upgrade_from_2’...
1.12. INPUTS AS EFFECTS LOOPS You can use the input / outputs of Digit as effect loops. For example, physically connect output 3 to an external phaser pedal, then connect the output of the phaser to input 3. Then on Digit, connect a delay to output 3, and then connect input 3 directly to output 1.
1.14. IMPORT REVERBS / CABS To import new cab or reverb IRs onto Digit, copy them onto a USB flash drive in folders called reverbs and cabs for each. Then go to settings and tap Copy IRs. The files must be 48 kHz wavs.
