OPERATION

1 - Effect Edit/Select buttons

Press once to enter edit mode for the current effect. Press again to toggle between the different effect types.

2 - Variations

For each selected effect type, 4 instant variations can be stored. When creating new presets this function makes is very easy to combine your favorite reverbs with your favorite compression settings etc.

Example:

-Press COMP edit to enter the compression block.

-Edit the compression settings using encoders A-D.

-Now press and hold VARIATION key #1 to save this compression setting as one of your favorites. Note that the preset is not stored at this point, you have simply set up a favorite compression setting.

-Recall a different preset using the preset keys where you would like to apply this compression.

-Press COMP followed by VARIATION key #1.

-Your favorite compression setting #1 is now recalled into the current preset.

Each effect block can hold up to 4 variations!

3 - Factory Default

TC Electronic has predefined factory default settings for each algorithm. Press FACTORY DEFAULT to recall the default settings for the currently selected algorithm.

Example:

Assume that you have a very nice preset with a nice combination of compression, EQ, mod and maybe delay settings. However, you feel that you have edited the reverb parameters to a point where you find yourself a bit lost. - What would TC Electronic suggest?

-We assume that you are in reverb edit, thus the REVERB EDIT LED is lit.

-Press FACTORY DEFAULT.

Note that there is a factory default setting for each effect sub-type.

4- Subdivision

The subdivision parameter relates to delay effects only. It is used to calculate the actual delay time in relation to the tapped tempo.

Example:

Tapped tempo is often used with delay. Let us assume the tempo of the song is 120 BPM. Tap 1/4 notes.

If the selected subdivision is set to 1/4 note the actual delay time will be 500 ms.

If the selected subdivision is set to 1/8 note triplets the actual delay time will be 166 ms.

5 - Edit knobs A, B, C, D

Turn to adjust the parameters currently displayed above the knobs in the display.

6 - Numeric Display

The numeric display has three sections.

Left - Indicates “U” for user bank or “F” for factory bank. Only the user bank presets can be edited.

Middle - Indicates the current preset bank.

A “dot” indicates that the preset has been edited.

Right - Tuner indication.

Presets - G-Natural has 30 factory presets and 30 user preset locations.

7 - Store

Storing a preset can be done in two ways. We call them “Quick store” and “Normal store”. “Quick store” is typically used when you have made changes to a preset and want to store the preset with the same name at the
