Chapter 1 – Your First Session with the MIDIVerb 4
To edit effect parameters:
Press the [PROG] button.
The [PROG] button will light.
Press the [PAGE] button to enter Edit mode.
This selects the first page of effect parameters, if you are editing the Program for the first
time. There are usually two or more pages available in Edit mode, depending on the
Program's Configuration. The exact number of pages available will be indicated by the
numbers illuminated in the bottom-left corner of the display. Repeatedly pressing
[PAGE] advances through the available pages. The currently selected page will have a
box around its number. Each page contains up to four parameters, which are labeled with
abbreviated names directly above each.
Press one of the [A], [B], [C] or [D] buttons to select a parameter in the currently
selected display page.
The parameter will flash indicating it is selected for editing.
Turn the [VALUE] knob to edit the selected parameter's value.
Once you have modified a parameter's value, the word "EDITED" will appear directly
beneath it. If you change the value back to its original setting, the word "EDITED"
disappears.
Any changes you make are temporary, until you store those changes into memory. If the
Program you are editing is in the Preset bank, you must save the changes you've made to a
location in the User bank. If you recall another Program before storing,
your changes will be lost. For more information , see "Storing Edited Programs", later in this
chapter. For more about editing effects parameters, see Chapter 4.

Using Online Help

The MidiVerb 4 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.
For example, if we were still editing Program 01 (see previous page), holding the [B]
button for more then one second would reveal the name of the "B" parameter:
INPUT LOWPASS FILTER
Once the button is released, the display reverts back to normal.
Additionally, holding the [EDIT/PAGE] button while in Edit mode will display the
page and/or parameter set you are looking at. For example, if the selected Program
you are editing uses the Pitch:Delay Configuration, holding the [EDIT/PAGE] button
while page 1 is selected will display the following message:
CH 1 PITCH PARAMETER
