External Switches; Preset Advance & Load From External Switch; Re-Assigning External Switches - Electro-Harmonix Super Pulsar User Manual

EXTERNAL SWITCHES – All external switches that are connected to the
TAP/CLK IN jack must be normally open, momentary switches. The tip
connection of the TAP/CLK IN jack is hardwired to set Tap time, the tip cannot
be re-programmed for other functions. The ring connection of the TAP/CLK IN
jack is set from the factory to scroll through the Super Pulsar's 8 presets plus
WYSIWYG mode. Each press and release of a switch connected to the ring will
advance and load the next preset. You may also connect a switch that connects
to both the tip and ring simultaneously; from the factory, this third switch is set
to scroll through the EXP. MODEs. An example of an external footswitch that has
3 switches is the Digitech
footswitch to the tip only, or a dual external footswitch the tip and ring.
PRESET ADVANCE & LOAD FROM EXTERNAL SWITCH: You can advance
and load Presets using an external switch. From the factory, the switch
connected to the ring performs this function but it may also be assigned to the
tip&ring switch. You do not have to enter Preset mode, as described on page 13,
to advance and load Presets.
Upon pressing the external switch assigned to Presets, the waveform display will
jump to the next preset and load it. The preset LED will remain lit for 2 seconds
and then go back to displaying the current waveform. After the 8
last preset in the waveform display, Super Pulsar loads WYSIWYG mode and
then cycles back to the 1
RE-ASSIGNING EXTERNAL SWITCHES: You can re-assign either the Ring
switch or the Tip&Ring switch to any of the following Super Pulsar functions: TAP
DIVIDE, EXP. MODE, xRATE, WAVE INVERT, BYPASS or PRESET Advance and
Load. Here's how to re-assign an external switch:
1. Make sure the TAP/CLK IN jack is set to External Switch mode.
See the following section on page 12, entitled EXTERNAL
CLOCK, to learn how to change to External Switch mode.
External Switch mode is the factory default.
2. Press and hold the button on Super Pulsar that you
want to assign, for example the xRATE button.
3. Now press and hold the external footswitch that you
want to assign to xRATE. It should be connected to either
the Ring or Tip&Ring of the TAP/CLK IN jack.
4. You will see either all the LEDs associated with the
function on Super Pulsar light or blink. In our case the
xRATE LED will blink. Once you see the LEDs light or blink,
release both the Super Pulsar button and the external
switch, it is now assigned.
5. To assign PRESET Advance and Load to an external
switch: press and hold the MODE footswitch on Super Pulsar
and then press and hold the external switch. When you see all
of the waveform display LEDs on Super Pulsar light up solid,
the switch is re-assigned and you can release both switches.
