which was last selected. (Note: When the MicroVerb 4’s power is disconnected, any edits to the currently selected Program will be lost.)
The MicroVerb 4’s display is used to indicate the following:
¿Program Number . MicroVerb 4 Programs are numbered from 00 to 199. Programs
¡MIDI Channel. When the [BANK/MIDI] button is held down, the Display will dim and the current MIDI Channel will be reported. The MIDI Channel can then be edited by turning the Value wheel while the Bank/MIDI button is held. Possible MIDI Channels are 00 (Omni), and
¬Overwrite Program Number. When the [STORE] button is pressed, the Program about to be saved over will flash. Only User Programs can be Stored over, so if [STORE] is pressed while editing a Preset Program the MicroVerb 4 will add 100 to the Program number for storage. When the Store button is pressed again to confirm, the Program number will flash rapidly and then return to the normal Program Number display.
÷Parameter Value. When the [EDIT A] or [EDIT B] knobs are turned, the LED display will dim and show the new value for that parameter. For example, when Edit A is adjusted on a Hall programs, the display will briefly show the new Reverb Time in seconds and milliseconds, then return to the Program number.
STORE Button
Either Preset or User Programs can be temporarily edited using the Edit A and Edit B knobs. If you wish to store these edits for later recall, press the [STORE] button. If you have edited a User Program, that Program number will start flashing. If you have edited a Preset Program, the complementary User Program number (that Program plus 100) will start flashing, since Presets cannot be saved over. This is the Program number which is about to be overwritten. By pressing the [STORE] button again, you tell the MicroVerb 4 to actually store the Program. The Program number will flash rapidly and then return to the normal Program Number display.
BANK/MIDI Button
This button serves three functions. To switch between the Preset Bank and the User bank, press and release the Bank button. The Program number will either increase or decrease by 100 as the unit switches banks. If the Bank/MIDI button is pressed and held for a moment, the current MIDI channel will be displayed. If the Value knob is turned while the Bank/MIDI button is being pressed, the MIDI channel can be adjusted. Finally, to dump the memory of the MicroVerb 4 to a sequencer or program librarian program, DataDisk, etc., hold the Bank/MIDI button until the MIDI channel is displayed and press [STORE]. The contents of the User bank will be sent to the MIDI output.
VALUE Knob
When no other button is being pressed, the Value Knob is used to change Programs. If the Bank/MIDI button is held while the Value Knob is being turned, the MicroVerb 4 will change its MIDI channel.
