CHAIN MODE

In live performance, you will need to have easy access to your various programmed presets. In Chain Mode, your ZETA SYNTHONY II offers you the ability to “chain” presets together in a series that you can quickly and easily recall in the order that you need them for your performance. Most people think of a “chain” as being another term for a “song” and a “step” as one of the sounds that you use within a song. For instance, if you used three different sounds within one song, you could set them as Chain 1, Step 1; Chain 1, Step 2; and Chain 1, Step 3. The second song would then be Chain 2 with several steps within that chain.

UNDERSTANDING THE DISPLAY

When you access the Chain mode, the top, right number will be highlighted. This number represents the Chain. By pressing the Parameter + and - buttons, you can highlight the lower, right number. This is the Step within the selected Chain. The lower, left number is the Preset sound that you are accessing. (This is the number that relates back to the “Preset Mode.”) The upper left number is simply part of the factory name for the Chains before you create your own name (ie. No Name 1, No Name 2, No Name 3, etc.)

You can store up to 32 “chains”, each containing up to 32 “steps”. Using the Value + or - buttons, you can toggle through the “chains” when the upper right number is highlighted. This is the only way to toggle through your Chains. You can toggle through you presets in two different ways. While the upper right number (Chain) is highlighted, with a footpedal plugged into the “Chain” jack in the back of your ZETA SYNTHONY II, you can access the different Steps within the highlighted Chain. Pressing the pedal once moves to the next step in the chain, pressing it twice quickly moves to the previous step. You can also access the different steps by pressing the Parameter + button, highlighting the “Step” number. Then the Value + and – buttons will access the different steps. Remember, you can only change the Chain by accessing the front of your ZETA SYNTHONY II. The Steps, however may be changed from the Footswitch.
