Chapter 4 – Editing Programs

Moving Through Pages

Once in Edit mode, there will be multiple pages available. The total number of pages
depends on which Configuration the Program uses, and will be indicated by the
numbers appearing in the lower left corner of the display. The [EDIT/PAGE] button
is used to advance through the available pages of effect parameters. The currently
selected page will have a box around it in the display.

Using the A/B/C/D Buttons

The [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons are used to select parameters in the display for
editing. There are never more than four parameters in the display at any time. Each
parameter corresponds to one of the [A], [B], [C] or [D] buttons. To select a
parameter, press the button associated with its position in the display or move its
fader. Once pressed, the selected parameter will flash in the display. There are three
ways to edit parameters on the Wedge:
• Move one of the [A], [B], [C] or [D] sliders
• Press one of the [A], [B], [C] or [D] buttons, then turn the [VALUE] wheel
• On parameters where you are switching between two possible values (i.e. Lezlie
Speed Slow/Fast) simply pressing one of the [A], [B], [C] or [D] buttons will
switch the value.

Using Online Help

The Wedge has built-in online help to assist you in identifying parameter functions
from the display, without having to look things up in this manual. Once you have
accessed Edit mode (see previous section), you can select any of the parameters
shown in the display by pressing the corresponding button ([A], [B], [C] or [D]).
However, by holding one of these buttons for more than one second, the upper
display will provide a more detailed description of the selected parameter.

Special Cases

Most of the time, a single parameter is represented by a single value in the display.
However, in the case of the Delay Time parameter, where the range is quite wide, it
is helpful to be able to edit different parts of the overall value. In other words, think
how long it takes to scroll from 1 to 5499 ms using 1 millisecond increments.
Except for the "smaller" delays used in the Multi Chain and Dual Mono
Configurations, the Delay Time value is broken down into three parameters:
and . This allows you to adjust the hundredths, tenths and individual
10ms 1ms
milliseconds individually. Example: In the case of the Mono Delay Configuration, the
Edit mode page 1 display will look like this:
38
100ms
