Description
These individual parameters allow you to globally control the input or output levels of the VP4.
Use these for convenient global Volume without needing to "waste" one of the effects on a Volume block.
Provides the ability to tap the tempo using an external switch. Learn more about Tempo on
Provides a way to remotely enter or exit the Tuner.
You can set the VP4 to automatically display the tuner when the designated Pedal or MIDI CC is in the "Heel Down" position (≤5%).
This feature works best when the same controller is also assigned to Input Volume or Output Volume, allowing the tuner to pop up
when you turn the volume down.
These four options allow you to use external switches or MIDI messages to bypass or engage the four FX of the VP4.
These four options allow you to use external switches or MIDI messages to set the channel for each of the four FX of the VP4.
External Controllers are Modifier Sources that require data from an input such as a Pedal Jack or a MIDI CC# message to function.
For instance, if you want to use MIDI CC#11 to control a Wah effect, you would assign CC#11 to External 1, then use External 1 as
the Source for a modifier in the Wah block.
Think of an External Controller as a "proxy" that connects your physical or MIDI controller to effect parameters.
For each of the four External Controllers, you can assign PEDAL 1, PEDAL 2, or any MIDI CC#.
See p. 43 for more on External Controllers.
On the MIDI/Remote page, you'll find the four INITIAL VALUE parameters at the bottom. These allow you to set the default startup
value for External Controllers assigned to MIDI. This assigned value will remain active until the appropriate MIDI CC# message is
received to update it.
These two settings allow you to step up or down through the presets of the VP4 using MIDI CC# messages.
This feature allows you to choose specific Scenes based on the value of a MIDI CC message sent to the VP4. The value refers to the
data associated with a particular MIDI CC# message, not the CC# number itself. For example, if you assign MIDI CC#17 to control
Scene Select, the value sent for CC#17 (ranging from 0 to 127) determines which Scene is loaded:
0 = Scene 1 2 = Scene 3
1 = Scene 2 3 = Scene 4
The series continues, cycling through scenes 1–4 for the remaining values.
These two settings allow you to step up or down through the Scenes of the current preset using MIDI CC# messages.
The VP4 features buffered analog bypass. This passes signal directly from the input to the output with no digital conversion, latency,
or digital processing. If you want to control analog bypass using a connected pedal/switch or MIDI, choose the desired option here.
