Chapter 5 - Description of Controls
Type
Use the [TYPE] button to define the type of effect in the selected Block. Once a Block has been chosen and the [TYPE] button is pressed, we can dial through with the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to choose the function of that Block from EQUALIZATION, PITCH, DELAY, REVERBERATION or OFF. Once the general function of a Block has been selected by pressing the [VALUE/ENTER] button, the display will automatically advance to the second page of the Type function where we can define the specific effect of the Block. Example: If it is a Reverberation Block, you can select Hall 1, Plate 1, Non Linear, etc., using the [VALUE/ENTER] knob.
Another page is included in Type mode which allows you to move a defined Block to another position. If you defined Block #1 as a Delay, and later decide to first have the input signal routed through an EQ, you can move the Delay Block to make room for it. First select the Block to be moved, press [PAGE >] to advance the cursor to the next field, and select the Block # you want to move it to. Then to execute the move, press the [VALUE/ENTER] button. The Block is moved and the routings repatched to recreate the same signal path. Now you can redefine Block #1 as an EQ. If you move a Block to a position already occupied by another Block, the two Blocks will swap positions, and their routings will automatically be swapped as well to maintain the identical signal path.

Parameter
Once a type of effect has been chosen, pressing the [PARAMETER] button allows us to see and choose the available parameters for that specific effect. Example: This is where you define specific attributes of a Block; the boost or cut of an EQ, or the decay time of a Reverb. Some effects have many more parameters and these can be found by [PAGE]ing through while in Parameter mode.
