Alesis 30 Parameters, Programs, Playing in Stereo

1 Introduction

Parameters

A parameter is a control that changes the characteristics of an effect. When we use the word “parameter,” we are referring to the “direct control” parameter available to the DIST, FX1, FX2 and FX3 modules. DIST’s parameter is called DRIVE, and the parameters for FX1, FX2 and FX3 are labeled PARAM. The characteristic controlled by a parameter varies from effect to effect.

Programs

A program is a combination of effect modules and their respective settings. In PLAY mode, you have quick access to the Wildfire’s eighty programs via the

Program Up and Down buttons, optional footswitches and the VALUE knob. The programs are divided up into banks A – H and are identified by a bank letter and a program number on the display.

Playing in Stereo

The Wildfire outdoes most other guitar amplifiers by providing stereo output instead of the standard mono. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the wonderful benefit this provides for your sound, because many of the Wildfire’s excellent effects will sound even better when you listen to them in stereo. See chapter 9 for instructions on how to connect a second amplifier to the Wildfire using the STEREO LINK OUTPUT. If you don’t have a second amplifier, you can immediately enjoy the stereo effects simply by listening with headphones.
