Description of Controls - Chapter 5 Page 4: Modulators. This is where you select the two MIDI modulation sources which will be used for all Programs to control their parameters. The parameters these control depend on the selected Program's Configuration. For example, in all Reverb Configurations, Modulator X controls the Reverb Decay Time, while Modulator Y controls the Wet/Dry Mix. Either Modulator can be assigned to: Pitch Bend, Aftertouch, Note Number, Velocity or a Controller from 000-119. Each Modulator's amplitude can be set between -99 and +99. The default settings are: Mod#X = 001 (modulation wheel), Mod#Y = 007 (volume), Amp X and Y = 000. For more information and a list of the modulated parameters in each Configuration, see Chapter 6. Mod#X AmpX Mod#Y AmpY Page 5: Program Table. The Program Table allows you to intercept incoming program change messages and have them recall specific Programs (in either the Preset or User bank) which may not be the same number as the program change message received. There are 128 different possible MIDI program change messages (000 - 127). However, the MidiVerb 4 has 256 Programs to choose from. Therefore, the Program Table allows us to choose which of the 256 Programs will be recalled when certain program change numbers are received. The first value in the display indicates the MIDI program change you wish to remap (000-127). The second value indicates the Program you wish to be recalled (00-127 Preset (Pset) and 00-127 User). You can remap each of the 128 program change numbers, if so desired. Program Tbl: MIDI User If the D parameter is lowered below User 000, the display will change from User to Pset to indicate that you are now assigning an incoming program change number to a Program in the Preset bank. Program Tbl: MIDI Pset Page 6: Sends Sysex. This page lets you dump out all 128 User Programs or the current Program being used/edited, or the Program Change Table (see above). The data is sent as Sysex information. This can be sent to a MIDI storage device, or to another MidiVerb 4. Select either All or Buffer (the currently selected Program which is in the edit buffer), or Table. When this page is selected, the [UTIL] button will flash to indicate that pressing the [UTIL] button starts the MIDI dump. The display will read "Transmitting Sysex..." and the [UTIL] button will flash quickly, indicating that all 128 User Programs are being sent out the [MIDI OUT] connector. See Chapter 6 for more information regarding MIDI applications. Send MIDI Sysex: All STORE Button The [STORE] button is used to permanently keep changes you make to a Program, or to copy a Program to a different location. When pressed for the first time, the [STORE] button will flash, to indicate that it is prepared to store the current Program. At this point, you can choose to alter the Program's name, and/or choose a different location to store the Program into. When you're ready to store, press the [STORE] button a second time.
