System Setting - Boss VF-1 Owner's Manual

SYSTEM SETTING

fig.3-07
Here you can make basic system settings for the VF-1, such
as the display contrast (p.24), output settings for when
"EFFECTS OFF" (p. 22) is selected, settings for when foot
switches (p.36) are connected to the CTL 1,2 jack, and user
scale settings (p.101) for the Harmonist.
fig.3-08
CONTRAST (display contrast): 1–16
For details refer to "Adjusting the display contrast" (p. 24).
ASSIGN HOLD: ON, OFF
If control assign settings have been made so that effect
parameters can be controlled in realtime, this setting
determines how the VF-1 will act when you switch patches
while controlling parameters.
ON:
Controller operations will be reflected by the newly-selected
patch even after you switch patches.
OFF:
Controller operations will not be reflected by the newly-
selected patch. Each time you switch patches, the target will
be set to the value specified by the patch.
EFFECTS OFF MD (Effects off mode)
Specifies how output is to be handled when Bypass is
switched on.
DIRECT:
Only the direct sound from the input jacks will be output.
MUTE:
All output jacks will be muted (silenced).

limit (lower limit), you will then "fold over" to the lower limit
(upper limit).
* In Play mode if "CATEGORY On" is displayed, you can step
through patches of the same category. In Play mode if you press
[EXIT], the display will change to "CATEGORY OFF," and
you will be able to switch patches within the range specified by
"NUMBER U/D MIN" and "NUMBER U/D MAX."
* The "NUMBER U/D MIN" and "NUMBER U/DMAX"
settings will have no effect unless you select "NUMBER UP"
and/or "NUMBER DOWN" for CONTROL1 and/or
CONTROL2.
