Getting Familiar With Some Basic Terms

Effect Module

The 1010 incorporates five effect blocks which are referred to as "effect modules". Each effect module can be thought of as a single compact effect. The 1010 therefore operates like five compact effects connected in series.

The following five types of effect modules are available:

●COMP&WAH

Compression effect and pedal wah (with an external controller)

●DISTORTION

Analog distortion effects ●EQ

Equalizer for adjusting the tonal quality of the sound ●CHO/FLG

Chorus and modulation effects. ●REV/DLY

Reverb and delay effects for creating a spatial impression

Effect Type

Each effect module contains several effect variations which are called "effect types". An effect module can normally use only one effect type at a time, but the COMP&WAH module can use compressor and wah together. The DISTORTION module utilizes ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction) in addition to distortion effect. For a list of effect types in each effect module, please see the table on page 9.

Patches and Groups

A combination of effect modules, each with individual parameter settings plus the final output level setting is referred to as a "patch".

PATCH LEVEL

 

The 1010 has two memory areas or "groups" where patches are stored: the USER group for patches that can be altered and stored by the user, and the PRESET group for factory defined read-only patches. There are 12 patches in the USER group and 30 patches in the PRESET group, for a total of 42 patches.

Bank

The 1010 calls up patches in sets of three, and the foot pedals serve to switch between patches. Each set of three patches is referred to as a "bank".

Parameter

The elements which determine the sound of an effect are referred to as "parameters". Parameter values can be adjusted for each effect module, to create your own patches with the 1010.

Mode

The functions of the 1010 can be divided into three different categories. These are called "modes", as described below.

Play Mode (Please refer to page 4)

In this mode, patches are selected and played. This is the default mode when power is turned on.

Edit Mode (Please refer to page 7)

In this mode, the parameters of each patch can be edited.

Special Mode (Please refer to page 13)

Serves to return some or all patch data to the factory preset settings.
