Quick Editing Primer
Aside from the six Main Controls (see page 12), many other parameters
are available to you that provide for greater control over your tone. If you
want more detail, check out chapter 3. For now, weÕll give you a quick
way to navigate through the Edit Rows to get to various parameters.
The parameters that make up a Sound are found in the Òparameter matrixÓ
located above the six Control Knobs:
AUX/MIDI AUX INPUT MIX AUX INPUT BASS AUX INPUT TREBLE AUX INPUT REVERB MIDI CHANNEL T RANSMIT SOUNDS

The parameter matrix is divided into 11 Edit Rows. The name of each Edit
Row may be found running down the left side of the parameter matrix
(these include: AUX/MIDI, NOISE GATE, COMP/PEDALS, PREAMP, GRAPHIC
EQ, TREMOLO/CAB, DELAY, CHORUS, REVERB, FX ON/OFF and MAIN).
TIP Think of each Edit Row as a different effect in your rack.
What a Control Knob will do when you turn it depends on the Edit Row
youÕve selected. Five Row Select buttons (located along the left side of the
parameter matrix) let you select any of the Rows. There are two Edit Rows
associated with each Row Select button.
The first time a Row Select button is pressed, the upper Edit Row
associated with that button will be selected. If the Row Select button is
pressed again, the lower Edit Row associated with that button is selected.
Each time the same Row Select button is pressed, youÕll toggle between its
two Edit Rows.
The currently selected Edit Row is indicated by an LED pointer
▲
. Each
Edit Row provides six different Controls which are usually, but not
always, associated with a common function or effect. Example: In the
GRAPHIC EQ Row, the Control knobs let you adjust the various frequency
bands of the Graphic Equalizer module.
