GFI System Synesthesia Quick Manual

SYNESTHESIA
1. PARAMETERS : Primary and Secondary
Each algorithm has up to 6 adjustable parameters. Three parameters are adjusted by turning the SPEED, DEPTH, or TWEAK knobs,
these are the Primary parameters. The other three are adjusted by twisting (press‐turn) the SPEED, DEPTH, or TWEAK knobs, these
are the Secondary parameters.
Only Primary parameters may be ramped or controlled via expression pedal.
2. X‐Y SWAP.
When running 2 algorithms simultaneously, and tweaking them to find the desired settings, there'll be times where you want to
know what would it sound like if the effect order is swapped, this can be very easily accomplished using the X‐Y Swap function :
>>My Preset
TRMOLO << UNIVBE
Both algorithms and parameters setting of each DSP are swapped, thereby preserving the complete state.
3. PRESET MODE vs STOMPBOX MODE.
Synesthesia has 2 modes of operation, Preset Mode and Stompbox mode, and a simple mechanism to quickly switch back and forth
between the two.
3.1 Preset Mode
In this mode, everything you do essentially revolves around 'calling of presets', favorite settings that have been previously saved. Tap
footswitch A/Y to call patch A, and tap footswitch B/X to call patch B. This is great for switching over many different sounds quickly.
This mode is indicated by the ORANGE color of LED A/Y and LED B/X.
3.2 Stompbox Mode
In contrast, Stompbox mode allows you to treat the pedal as two individual stompboxes. The footswitches now act as on/off
switches for the X and Y engines, just like using separate 2 pedals. The footswitches also now support momentary action, i.e. you can
engage the X or Y momentarily by pressing on the footswitch and hold it for as long as you want the algorithm to run.
This mode is indicated by the RED color of LED A/Y and LED B/X.
Toggling between Preset Mode and Stompbox Mode :

Press and hold both footswitches, until all the bank LEDs blinks 3x < the screen will temporarily display the active mode >.
