Using MC-1 Effects
When EFFECT ADJUST is selected from the Main menu, the on-screen
display shows a list of parameters specific to the current effect, as well
as the current value of each parameter. (The front panel display shows
one parameter at a time). Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to move through the
displayed list. Press SELECT to activate a two-line display which allows
you to use ▲ and ▼ to alter the selected parameter’s value. Press DONE
to confirm the change and move on to the next menu item. Each MC-1
Effect and its parameter menu is described in the following sections.

Customizing Effects

Although the list of available parameters will vary with different effects,
the last item in each menu is always CUSTOM. Selecting CUSTOM
calls up a sub-menu which allows you to name your custom effects, to
compare your version with the original preset, or to restore the preset
versions of the Effect name and parameter values.
When first shipped, the MC-1 has a set of default values assigned to
each Effect. These values have been determined to be suitable for initial
listening. As every installation has its own unique characteristics, and
listeners have distinctly different preferences, you may want to tailor the
Effects to suit your own requirements. To allow easy cutomization, any
parameter changes you make take effect instantly, and automatically
become part of the Effect. You can even change the name that appears
on-screen. Once you have made the changes you want, the Effect will
remain as you have set it unless you alter it again, or deliberately restore
the factory preset parameter values.
Selecting CUSTOM from any Effect Adjust menu will give you access
to the controls listed to the side and described below. Use ▲ and ▼ to
highlight any menu item, then press SELECT to open the submenu.

Comparing a modified Effect to the factory preset version

LISTEN CUSTOM/PRESET lets you compare your edited version of an
Effect with the original version as set at the factory. When this control is
selected, ▲ and ▼ allow you to alternate between the "preset" and your
modified version ("custom"). The display will confirm whether you are
LISTENING TO CUSTOM or PRESET.
Note that this function is available, even if you have not made any
changes to an Effect. Until you make parameter changes to create a
custom version of a preset, the LISTEN TO CUSTOM option will contain
an exact duplicate of the preset Effect.
Exiting this menu restores the CUSTOM version.
