Selecting A Configuration

A Configuration is made up of one or more effects. Each of the internal Programs of
the MidiVerb 4 use one Configuration. When you want to create your own Program,
the first thing you must decide is which Configuration you wish to use. Then you
need to locate a Program that already uses this Configuration. For example, if you
want to create a new Program using the Chorus->Delay Configuration, first locate an
existing Program that already uses the Chorus->Delay Configuration. Then store this
Program into a location in the User bank. Once this is done, you can freely edit the
new Program, storing changes as you like, without affecting the original Program
you selected.
Note: The last 32 Programs in the Preset bank (096-127) each use one of the 32
Configurations. This makes it easy for you to locate the Configuration you are
looking for. Also, the last 17 Programs in the User bank (111-127) have been left
blank so you have some place to store your new Programs into.
To select a Configuration:
Press [PROG]. Use the [VALUE] knob to select a Program which uses the
Configuration you want to use.
The display will show each Program's name and Configuration
ChrsVerb CHORUS}REALROOM
Press [STORE].
The [STORE]button will flash.
Turn the [VALUE] knob to select a Program location in the User bank to store
(copy) this Program into.
This will overwrite whatever Program was previously stored in the Program location you
have selected.
Press [STORE] again.
The [STORE] button's LED will briefly flash quickly, while the display reads:
Program nnnnnnnn Stored!
...whereby nnnnnnnn is the Program's name. The [STORE] button will turn off and the
display will revert to Program mode ([PROG] button lit).
If the Program you select is in the Preset bank, the above would result in storing the Program
in the User bank, using the same number location. Example: If you selected Preset 24 and
stored it, the Program would be stored into User 24. This is because the Preset Programs
cannot be permanently changed.
Now you can start editing the Program's parameters, and having some real fun!
