Description of Controls - Chapter 5 BYPASS LED Indicator The [BYPASS] LED will be lit whenever Bypass mode is enabled. Bypass mode can be toggled on and off by simultaneously pressing the [PROG] and [UTIL] buttons, or by pressing a footswitch connected to the [FOOTSWITCH] jack (if the footswitch is switched to act as a "Bypass" function; see "UTILity Button", next page). VALUE Knob The [VALUE] knob is used to raise or lower the selected value in the display by turning either clockwise or counterclockwise. If the [PROG] button is lit, turning the [VALUE] knob lets you scroll through the internal Programs. When an effect parameter is selected (flashing in the display), turning the [VALUE] knob will alter its value. PROGram Button The [PROG] button is used to select Program mode. When Program mode is selected, the [PROG] button will be lit. The [VALUE] knob may then be used to scroll through programs. The [PROG] button is also used to toggle between the Preset and User banks. The display will show either "PRESET" or "USER" indicating the currently selected bank. The [PROG] button is also used in conjunction with the [UTIL] button to toggle between "BYPASS" ON and "BYPASS" OFF. EDIT/PAGE Button The [EDIT/PAGE] button is used in either Program or Utility mode to advance through the available pages. When [EDIT/PAGE] is pressed in Program mode, the Program's parameters will be displayed for editing. When the [EDIT/PAGE] button is pressed in the Utility mode it advances through the various pages of Utility functions. The total number of pages will appear in the lower left corner of the display, and the currently selected page will have a box around it. Each time [EDIT/PAGE] is pressed it will advance to the next page; when the last page is reached it cycles back to the first page. A/B/C/D (NAME/ESC/) Buttons The [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons are used in Program mode to select the parameters to be edited within each of the available page. When in Program mode, pressing any of the [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons will select the corresponding parameter (A, B, C, or D) in the display, and the selected parameter will flash. When selecting a parameter, if the corresponding [A], [B], [C] or [D] button is held for longer than one second, a brief description of that parameter will appear in the display. This is the MidiVerb 4's built-in online help system. If there is no corresponding parameter for one or more of the [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons in a particular page, it will be indicated in the display when the button is pushed. For example, if you were editing an effect in page one which did not have an "A" parameter displayed and the [A] button was pressed, the message "NO "A" PARAM ON PAGE 1" would briefly appear. The [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons also serve another function. When in Store mode ([STORE] button flashing), the [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons are used to change the Program's name. Pressing [A/NAME] moves the cursor in the display to the first MidiVerb 4 Reference Manual 45
