Creating Presets

Editing/Creating Presets

Creating your own signature sound with the Vx400 is easy and intuitive. The Vx400 lets you create your own
presets, or fine tune existing presets to suit your needs. When creating or editing a sound, you must start
with one of the User or Factory Presets. It is not possible to start with an empty preset. The preset number
does not need to be the location that you intend to save it to, because you can save it to any User Preset
location during the store process.
To edit or create a Preset:
1. Use the Up or Down Footswitches to select a preset.
2. Once you have found a preset that you want to edit, press the Select button once to enter Edit mode.
3. Use the Select button in conjunction with the Matrix LED's to choose the effect you want to edit.
Successive presses of the Select button advance to the next Effect in the Matrix.
4. Use Knobs 1-4 to change parameter values.
5. Store your preset (See this page for more on storing a preset).

The Matrix

The Matrix identifies the effects and parameters selected for editing. In Edit mode, successive presses of the
Select button advances to the next row of effects. The LED lights indicating which effect group is selected.
Each effect group has up to 4 parameters that can be modified. The knob directly below each column is used
to change the parameter value of the selected effect. As a knob is rotated, the corresponding parameter's
name and value or status are displayed.
When the stored value of a parameter is changed, the Store LED lights indicating you need to store the
changes. Changing presets, or turning the power off before storing erases all changes made and the Vx400
reverts to the stored values for the preset.

Storing/Copying/Naming a Preset

Once the preset is modified, you may store your settings to any of the 40 User Preset locations (Presets 1-
40). The following steps outline the procedure for storing changes to a preset or copying a preset to a
different location:
1. Press the Store button once. The Store button LED blinks and the first character in the display flashes
indicating you can name your new preset.
2. Use Knob 1 or Up/Down Footswitches to select the alpha-numeric character.
