Chapter 4 - Making Your Own Programs
Programming A Single Block
Type
✪A Block can provide Equalization, Pitch, Delay, Reverberation or be turned OFF. A program can contain up to eight Blocks, which can be in almost any combination or order within the confines of available DSP memory.
The BlockÕs Type determines not only what parameters are available in the Parameter function, but also what routings are available in the Routing function. Each Block can be modified according to the available parameters (based on the BlockÕs ÒtypeÓ), and routed independently of the other Blocks.
➀Press the [TYPE] button.
The [TYPE] buttonÕs LED will light .
➁Press the [< BLOCK] button repeatedly until the pointer is above the leftmost Block in the display (this is Block #1Õs position).
The display will show page 1 of Type mode (there are 3 pages in this mode):
BLOCK 1 FUNCTION: OFF
➂Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to select EQUALIZATION as the Block Function.
The function will flash until you press the [VALUE/ENTER] button.
➃Press the [VALUE/ENTER] button. The display will read:
ADD ROUTE FROM INPUT: NONE
This function allows you to quickly add routes to the new block from the input and to the output when writing simple programs. For the purpose of this tutorial, simply press the [VALUE/ENTER] button twice.
➄The EQ module will now be displayed as Block 1, and the display automatically advances to Page 2.
EQ TYPE: LOWPASS FILTER
➅Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to scroll through the various EQ effect types. By rotating the dial we can also see various Shelving, Parametric, and Graphic types of EQs. As we dial through the EQ types they will flash in the display. LetÕs select a 3 Band Parametric EQ.
EQ TYPE: 3 BAND PARAMETRIC EQ
➆Press the [VALUE/ENTER] button.
The EQ type will now be selected for Block 1, and the display will move back to Page 1 of the Type function.
