Although the list of available parameters will vary with different effects, the last item in each menu is always CUSTOM. Selecting CUSTOM calls up a sub-menu which allows you to name your custom effects, to compare your version with the original preset, or to restore the preset versions of the Effect name and parameter values.

When first shipped, the MC-1 has a set of default values assigned to each Effect. These values have been determined to be suitable for initial listening. As every installation has its own unique characteristics, and listeners have distinctly different preferences, you may want to tailor the Effects to suit your own requirements. To allow easy cutomization, any parameter changes you make take effect instantly, and automatically become part of the Effect. You can even change the name that appears on-screen. Once you have made the changes you want, the Effect will remain as you have set it unless you alter it again, or deliberately restore the factory preset parameter values.

Selecting CUSTOM from any Effect Adjust menu will give you access to the controls listed to the side and described below. Use and to highlight any menu item, then press SELECT to open the submenu.

Comparing a modified Effect to the factory preset version

LISTEN CUSTOM/PRESET lets you compare your edited version of an Effect with the original version as set at the factory. When this control is selected, and allow you to alternate between the "preset" and your modified version ("custom"). The display will confirm whether you are LISTENING TO CUSTOM or PRESET.

Note that this function is available, even if you have not made any changes to an Effect. Until you make parameter changes to create a custom version of a preset, the LISTEN TO CUSTOM option will contain an exact duplicate of the preset Effect.

Exiting this menu restores the CUSTOM version.
