POWERMATE3
2.3 FX 1/2
The PowerMate offers two independently controllable, identically configured
–FX 1 and FX 2. Each unit provides 100 program presets, which are selected by the use of the UP/ DOWN buttons. Parameters of presets can be edited and stored as User Preset (101 - 120), see page 30 for details. The 100 presets are divided into groups according to their different effect struc- ture, as shown on a printed listing. The programs within each preset group are sorted in ascending order, where higher numbers provide the same FX type with increased intensity. Presets 1 - 20 offer high quality reverberation effect programs that are equally suitable for live performance, recording stu- dio or home recording applications. Program numbers 21 - 40 provide mixed effect types of echo+re- verb and chorus while the numbers 41 - 60 offer different delay effects. The last group from 61 - 100 provides different doubling effects presets as well as special delay and reverb programs. During the initialization of the FX units (when switching on the power of the PowerMate), preset 05 (BRIGHT HALL, Large Hall 3) is selected for the FX 1 while the FX 2 unit is set to preset 55 (MONO DELAY, 230 ms 40%). These two effects are similarly suitable for live performances and recording applications. This is the
