WAVE INVERT Button and LED – This button enables or disables the WAVE
INVERT function. When its LED is lit, WAVE INVERT is enabled, when the LED is
off, WAVE INVERT is also off. WAVE INVERT can be used in tandem with the RT.
PHASE knob to maximize Super Pulsar's panning effects. WAVE INVERT's
function is dependent on your input/output set up. Here's what it does:
MONO IN/MONO OUT Setup: WAVE INVERT flips the current
modulation waveform. For example, pressing WAVE INVERT is a
quick way to change a ramp up waveform to ramp down.
Interesting patterns can be generated when you invert the Rhythm
patterns.
STEREO IN or STEREO OUT Setup: WAVE INVERT flips only the
Right channel's modulation waveform. It is similar to, but not
identical to setting RT. PHASE to the 180° position. For example, if
the modulation waveform is set to Ramp Up, enabling WAVE
INVERT will change the Right channel's modulation waveform to
Ramp Down but keep the Left channel at Ramp Up so that the 2
channels are opposing each other.
VOLUME Knob – Sets the overall output level of the Super Pulsar. As you turn
VOLUME clockwise, the output signal for both channels gets louder.
TAP FOOTSWITCH & BEAT LED – Use the TAP footswitch to tap in your
modulation rate. Press and release, do not hold, the TAP footswitch at least
twice to set the tremolo/pan speed. We highly recommend 4 or more taps for
better accuracy. Tapping in the modulation rate will override the RATE knob's
current setting or the rate loaded by a preset. Turning the RATE knob after
tapping in a modulation speed will erase your last tap time.
WAVEFORM/RHYTHM RESET: Each time you press the TAP footswitch the
modulation waveforms reset to their starting points and the Rhythm patterns
reset to beat 1. If Super Pulsar's modulation waveform or Rhythm goes off beat,
pressing the TAP footswitch once, on the beat, will force the waveform or
pattern to start over immediately.
TAP TIME LENGTH: The longest acceptable tap time is approximately 4 seconds
(0.25 Hz); the shortest tap time is approximately 0.1 seconds (10 Hz).
TAP AVERAGING: Super Pulsar employs TAP time averaging. Tap 3 or more
times and the taps will be averaged together as long as they are within 12.5% of
the first 2 taps. If the Super Pulsar receives 2 new taps (3 new taps if the new
tempo average is faster) that are outside of the 12.5% tolerance, it considers
this a new tap time and updates to the new tap tempo. Tap averaging is erased
4 seconds after the last tap. After the 4-second time out, 2 new taps will
immediately change the modulation rate to the new TAP time.
