Description Of The Parameters; Resetting The Parameters And Setting The Instrument Mode - Panda-Audio Future Impact v3 User Manual

Description of the Parameters

NOTE OFF LEVEL (global): Sets the volume threshold of the input signal below which the
synth stops sounding. A lower value allows you to sustain notes longer. A higher value
allows better articulation of staccato notes.
NOTE ON LEVEL (global): Sets the volume threshold of the input signal above which the
synth begins sounding. If low-volume notes do not trigger the synth then decrease the value.
If multiple triggering occurs then increase the value.
ATTACK: Sets the length of the attack stage of the filter AD/ADSR envelope. Higher values
make the filter take longer to open after a note is played.
DECAY: Sets the length of the decay stage of the filter AD/ADSR envelope. Higher values
make the filter take longer to close again after it has opened.
ENVELOPE DEPTH: Sets how much the filter opens in response to the filter AD/ADSR
envelope.
DYNAMICS: Sets how much the filter opens in response to playing dynamics.
CUTOFF: Sets the cutoff frequency of the filter. Lower values yield a darker sound; higher
values yield a brighter sound. The range of this parameter can be altered in the Boot Menu.
RESONANCE: Boosts the frequencies around the filter cutoff frequency. Lower values give
a flat, wide peak; higher values give a narrow, sharp peak.
BALANCE: Sets the balance between the bass/guitar sound and the synth sound. A setting
of 9 mutes the dry bass/guitar sound entirely.
LEVEL: Sets the overall output level of the sound.
EFFECTS: Sets the amount of chorus, delay, overdrive or tilt-EQ applied to the sound. For
full details on how the effects are influenced by this parameter see the explanation at the
very end of the Effects Block section of this manual.

Resetting the Parameters and Setting the Instrument Mode

Both of these tasks are accomplished using the Boot Menu. (The Boot Menu actually
contains seven items but we'll only deal with the aforementioned two for now.)
To enter the Boot Menu, press and hold the PROGRAM (left) footswitch before powering on
the pedal; continue to hold down the footswitch until the firmware version number has
finished being displayed. You can then release the footswitch.
