    Enzo X, your own sonic visions will be unveiled. Enzo X features 5 different synth modes: Poly Synth, Mono Synth, Arp Synth plus 2 “Poly Chroma” Dry Modes (from LVX), mono pitch shifting and poly pitch shifting See SECTION 8 for details.

  • Page 5: Highlighted Features

    3 MAIN CONTROLLERS: C1, C2, C3 When using Enzo X, 3 knobs are your main navigation controllers: C1, C2, C3. The other four knobs are your top level controls for PITCH, FILTER, MOD, and LEVEL. PITCH - Selects the base...

  • Page 6: Input Setup

    Using a synthesizer, you can choose to control Enzo X using either the L / R Inputs or via MIDI connection (connecting the MIDI OUT from a synthesizer to the MIDI IN on Enzo X). When connecting to Enzo X via ¼” patch cable, you will have access to all of Enzo X’s features including Dry Mono and Dry Poly mode.

  • Page 7: Preset Page

    - PRESET PAGE (GRAPHIC VIEW) When you first power up Enzo X, you will enter the Preset Page. By default, Enzo X is shipped in “GRAPHIC VIEW”. In GRAPHIC VIEW, 3 knobs are your navigation controllers: C1, C2, C3. The Preset Page consists of a preset bubble that contain the name and are controlled by C1 and C2 (located directly above the controllers).

  • Page 8: Ui Map In Graphic View

    UI MAP - (IN GRAPHIC VIEW) (home), push C3 to navigate into the EDIT PAGES (2nd level). The 2nd level, consists of EDIT PAGES, From the PRESET PAGE GLOBALS, SYSTEM INFO and TACTILE PAGE that wrap around when turning C3. Preset Page - (Home) From Preset Page, push C3 to go to Edit Page.
  • Page 9 GLOBALS Globals is located at the end of the Edit Page, after you cycle thru all categories. A shortcut to Globals is to start from Edit Page and turn C3 L. Globals is before System Info. Globals carousels the same way as the Edit Page but will be colorized in solid gold. - SAVING (SAVE AS PAGE IN GRAPHIC VIEW) SAVE AS PAGE Once edits are made within a preset, hold down C3 knob to enter SAVE AS PAGE.

  • Page 10: Favorite Parameters

    2 FAVORITE PARAMETERS (ASSIGNABLE TO EACH PRESET) 2 FAVORITE PARAMETERS can be assigned to each preset. They are located on each side of the preset bubble, directly above C1 and C2. In the SAVE AS PAGE, turn C3 to select either the L or R field. The field will highlight as an outlined box AND a dot will appear on either side of the preset bubble to indicate which side is selected.

  • Page 11: Save Preset Or Cancel

    SAVE PRESET OR CANCEL Hold down C3 knob again to save. Or QUICK SAVE. To CANCEL a save, press any of the four footswitches. This will exit the SAVE AS PAGE without writing over your preset. Note: If you cancel, no edits are saved. COPYING A PRESET Anytime you assign a Preset to a different Preset Number + Press and Hold C3 to save, you will automatically duplicate the Preset.

  • Page 12: Favorites Bank

    - FAVORITES BANK We created what we call the FAVORITES bank. The purpose of the Favorites Bank is to have a shortcut access to your top 3 favorite presets without the need to navigate through banks. The Favorites Bank is located before bank 1. To jump to the Favorites Bank, HOLD 1 + 2 footswitches.

  • Page 13: Modifiers

    CLOCK parameter. ASSIGN: Each modifier is a self contained module that can automatically adjust a parameter in Enzo X. To link a modifier to a parameter, use the modifier’s ASSIGN parameter. Here you’ll find a list of all the available parameters you can link to the modifier including NONE for when you don’t want to use the Modifier.

  • Page 14: Expression

    - EXPRESSION The rear panel of Enzo X has an EXP jack which allows you to connect an expression pedal for on the fly changes of parameters. Enzo X lets you make 6 expression pedal assignments and for each assignment you can choose which parameter the expression pedal is controlling, and how much the parameter is changed at the minimum and maximum positions of the expression pedal.

  • Page 15: Oscillators

    EXPRESSION PEDAL EXAMPLE - USING EXPRESSION SOURCE Let’s create a preset in Enzo X where a single LFO controls both the Level and Filter Envelope Amount. This will demonstrate how the Expression Source parameter complements the Modifier section.
  • Page 16 Ambience categories of processing elements. SYNTH MODES: Enzo X features 5 synth modes, the original 4 modes from Enzo, plus a new mode, the Dry Poly mode, adapted from the LVX’s Poly Chroma. MONO SYNTH - Single voice synthesizer where only one note plays at a time. Provides fast response and accurate pitch bends for intricate lead work.

  • Page 17: Filters

    Enzo X features 3 Filter Types: Ladder and State Variable from the original Enzo, plus a new filter type, Twin, developed just for Enzo X. Also new for Enzo X is a Noise parameter for each filter mode, allowing you to inject noise into the filter for a wide range of sonic textures.
  • Page 18 NOISE - Sets the output level of the white noise generator that gets mixed in with the signal from the oscillators. FILTER TYPES: LADDER - our unique Meris designed 24 dB per-octave resonant filter. A classic sound that excels in every application, but pairs especially well with the Mono Synth mode...

  • Page 19: Envelopes

    The Amplitude Envelope Edit Page also features the Note Persist parameter. The Note Persist parameter is used to shape the way Enzo X follows the natural volume curve of your guitar as it translates it to the synthesized note.

  • Page 20: Clock

    (in seconds). To create a synth “pluck” style patch, using the Amplitude Envelope, set the Attack, Decay, and Sustain values to “0 seconds”. Now set the release to 2-3 seconds in length. With this patch, every note the Enzo X receives will give an equal-length decay, reminiscent of a harp or open-strummed guitar.

  • Page 23: Mix Category

    MIX CATEGORY: MIX - At the end of the signal flow, Enzo X features a 4-input/2-output Mixer. This Mixer allows you to blend the input signal with the main wet path. The MIX parameter controls the overall mix and uses a custom taper to adjust the balance between the stereo wet and dry signal paths.

  • Page 34 DECIMATION [Bit Crusher]: Changes the sample rate of the input signal; lower sample rate settings create low resolution audio with overtones similar to ring modulation. ENVELOPE: A curve that controls how a sound evolves over time, shaping aspects like amplitude or filter cutoff. FEEDBACK [Echo]: This controls the amount of the delay line’s output that is mixed onto the delay line’s input.
  • Page 35 OSCILLATOR: An algorithm (or circuit) that generates periodic waveforms, such as sine, square, or sawtooth waves, which serve as the foundation of synthesized sound. PITCH [Oscillators]: The perceived highness or lowness of a sound, determined by the frequency of the waveform. RESONANCE [Filter]: Sets the range of frequencies (around the center Frequency, that are allowed to pass through the filter.
