MODIFIER
Matrix
The Matrix is where you connect your External pedals
(set up in I/O Setup, Ext. Input) or the internal Modifiers
to the parameters you want to control.
Dial the Parameter wheel to move the cursor vertically and the
Value wheel to move the cursor horizontally. Press Enter to
connect the two lines. Press Exit to remove a connection.
The basic concept is that you have a number of Modifiers (extra
LFOs, ADSRs, ENV and your Ext. Inputs) in the top line of the
Matrix. On the right hand side of the Matrix you have a list of
the parameters available in the current preset. This means that an
effect has to be present in the preset before it can appear in the
parameter list.
NOTE: Not all parameters in an effect are available.
To connect a Modifier to a parameter, you move the cursor to the
point where their two lines meet, and press Enter to connect
them.
Example: You want LFO1 to modulate the speed of a Tremolo
(be sure that the Tremolo is in the current preset). Now move the
cursor horizontally by dialing the Value wheel until you have the
cursor just below LFO1. Next step is to find the Tremolo speed.
Dial the Parameter wheel until you hit the point where Tremolo
speed and LFO1 intersect each other, now press Enter. The small
dot indicates that the LFO and Tremolo speed are connected.
Link
When you have two lines connected, (i.e. Ext.1 connected to
Tremolo speed) it is possible to make a transformation between
the two lines. Move the cursor to the dot connecting the two lines
and press Enter to enter the Link display.
In the Link display, you can change the curve between the
Modifier and the actual movement of the current parameter.
Low input
Use this parameter to adjust the minimum value of the modifier
i.e. when your expression pedal is in the minimum position.
Mid input
Use this parameter to adjust the medium value of the modifier
i.e. when your expression pedal is in the middle position.
High input
Use this parameter to adjust the maximum value of the modifier
i.e. when your expression pedal is in the maximum position.
NOTE: These same transform parameters apply to the other
modulation sources, for example Envelope, Low when the input
signal into the G-Force is at its lowest and High when it is at its
loudest.
Slope
Dial the Slope parameter to change the shape of the curve. Try it
out and watch the curve change.
Glide time
With this parameter you can set a minimum time that the
parameter should use to go from maximum to minimum or vice
versa, meaning that even though you move your expression pedal
from min. to max. in a split second, the current parameter will
still take some time to go through the same range.
Press Exit to leave the Link display.
Each modifier can be connected to several parameters at the
same time but each parameter can have only one source.
The maximum number of connections that can be made on the
matrix is 20.
Default parameter setting
The default setting of a Matrix connected parameter at Recall is
equal to its setting in the Edit parameter display.
Example: The Reverb mix level is set up to be controlled by a
pedal, and the Mix parameter in the Edit parameter display is set
to 15 %. When this preset is Recalled, the Reverb Mix will be
15%, and at first movement of the pedal, you will be in total
control of the parameter.
If you want to remove all links of the Matrix, press Exit
twice and you will see a pop up box asking you to
confirm with Enter or abort with Exit.
