Blue Thunder Functions and Parameter Descriptions

Each Blue Thunder preset is divided into individual blocks called functions (such as
"Mixer", "Reverb", etc.). Within each function is a set of controls which allow you to ma-
nipulate various aspects of that function. These controls are called parameters. The setting
of each of the parameters determines the overall sound of each Blue Thunder preset.
To enter the Function and Parameter controls press the "EDIT" button. The Blue
Thunder user interface is set up to allow you to first access each function (via the FUNC-
TION SELECT control), then the list of available parameters for the selected function (via
the PARAMETER SELECT control) and, finally, the adjustable value for each parameter
(via the PARAMETER ADJUST control).
