Chapter 9. Using the D Beam

Using the D Beam Controller

The D Beam is a controller that you use simply by moving your hand above it. Three different ways of using the D Beam are already set up for immediate use; trigger, synth, and filter. By adjusting the D Beam settings you can use it to apply a wide range of other effects.

Press [TRIGGER], [SYNTH], or [FILTER] to turn on one of the D Beam settings; the button will light. The button will go out when you turn it off.

You cannot simultaneously turn on more than one of these three buttons.

The Range of the D Beam Controller

The effective range of the D Beam controller is shown in the diagram below. No effect will occur if you move your hand outside this range.

The effective range of the D Beam controller will be severely reduced if used in strong, direct sunlight. Be aware of this when using the D Beam controller outside.
