Getting Around In the Operating System

The menu structure of your Millennium has been specially designed to be easy to use. The display shows the information you need, but to make things even easier for you, illumination of the front panel buttons offers additional operating information.

The front panel buttons give you information in one of two ways:

1 - If the button is dim, its function is inactive. Pressing a dim button causes it to light brightly and its function becomes the active item in the display. If the dim button doesn’t light after you press it, the button is unavailable.

2 - If the button is bright, its function is active.

Preset Mode

Preset mode allows you to scroll through the Factory and User presets using the <Preset/Effect> wheel. When your Millennium is turned on, it sets itself to Preset mode. Preset mode is active when the <Preset> button is lit and a Preset name is present on the information line (top line) of the display.

FX Edit Mode

This mode allows you to edit:

1.Digitally controlled Analog Wah

2.FX loop

3.Amp Models

4.Noise Gate

5.Selecting Effect Configurations

6.FX Modules

7.Output Mode of your Presets

Use the <Edit> button to enter the FX Edit mode.

A helpful hint: If you look at the Effect Routing Matrix while you press the FX <Edit> button, the currently selected module will flash.

Your Millennium uses “Pages” to navigate within an effect. A “Page” is a group of up to four effect parameters that appear on the screen at one time. Use the <Mix/Page> knob to move through the pages in the menu. Note that as you scroll through the pages, the page indicator in the lower left corner of the display changes to show the currently displayed page number.

Utility Mode

From the initial power-up of the unit, access to all of the menu pages of the utility mode can be made by simply pressing the <Utility> button located on the front panel of the unit. From this point, the display will tell you that you are in the Utility mode and you can scroll through the options by turning the <Mix/Page> knob.

Assign Mode

Once the Millennium is in assign mode, all modifier assignments can be made. This assign mode gives you the ability to assign dynamic modifiers, foot switches and expression pedals to almost any parameter in the Millennium. Access to this function is located on the front panel or in the utilities pages within the Millennium. For more information on assignments, please see pg.56.
