    ● RIGHT IN is an input for the second signal source. A stereo setup can be achieved by simultaneously connecting two mono signal sources to the LEFT IN and RIGHT IN inputs. The Prism III does not support TRS connections.

    ● The PROGRAM knob selects a program/algorithm from a bank. ● The FREQ knob sets the minimum filter cutoff frequency. The Prism III uses a positive LFO which goes from the minimum (set by the FREQ knob) to the maximum (set by the DEPTH knob).

    The Kill Dry mode is accessed via the X-MIX knob. When using the Prism III in a setup with external mix control, it’s recommended to set the X-MIX knob fully CW.
  • Page 7: Main Lfo

    Parameter modulation is one of the key elements of the Prism III. Modulation depth is set by the DEPTH knob, while the rate can be set by the RATE knob or the TAP footswitch. The Prism III has 5 LFOs which have different settings for different algorithms.

    We’re also working on a software editor for algorithms and presets. Banks The Prism III has 33 memory slots for programs. The programs are split into 3 banks of 11 slots each. To select the bank, set the BANK switch to the desired position: ●...

    The PM (Prism) Bank The positions of this bank’s algorithms cannot be changed. When using MIDI control, this bank responds to PC 00-10 (as noted in brackets). 1. (PC 00) Solar Winds. Spacey synth sounds from the 70s. An octave up and 5th up are mixed with the dry signal; the result then goes through mild filtering before reverb, after which a flanger is applied for good measure.

    10. (PC 09) Modulated TripleHPF. Three high-pass filters, each with the cutoff frequency set an octave above the previous one. Setting the RESO knob to high values will result in a bright peak within the selected frequency range, highlighting even harmonics in the process. The reverb in this algorithm is out of phase to prevent muddying the main signal.

    tremolo or fully CW for a harmonic tremolo effect, where the amplitude is modulated together with the filter (like what you can hear in an old guitar amp with built-in tube tremolo). Use the BOOST knob to compensate for any volume loss, and add in some reverb for particularly lush textures.

    ● CENTER: MIDI Setup (settings for MIDI operation). ● DOWN: Expression Pedal Setup. The Prism III also has settings which are only accessible via the config file. Those include BEAT switch subdivisions and MIDI Channel 12-16 selection. To edit such parameters, connect the pedal to a computer over USB.

    MIDI Setup While in Setup Mode, set the BANK switch to the CENTER position. The ON LED indicates values for parameters set by the FREQ and DEPTH knobs. If a group’s parameters are disabled, the LED doesn’t light up. The MIDI Setup page contains the following parameters: ●...
  • Page 15: Setup Over Usb

    Setting Up a USB Connection The Prism III has a USB Type C port (above the power input). You can connect this port to a computer with a USB cable (purchased separately). The USB port on your computer should be USB 2.0 or higher.

    We recommend setting the CC message interval to 17ms. The Prism III is connected to the MIDI source via a MIDI Type A 6.3mm TRS jack. The wiring scheme is as follows: MIDI 4 (Source) > TRS RING, MIDI 2 (Shield) >...
