Alesis Vortex User Manual - Page 4

Quick Tour of the Editor GUI Vyzex Vortex has a simple 'all-in-one' layout. You can see the currently loaded patch name and the current patch bank entries at a glance, and can choose between five different detailed control categories for parameter editing. The Editor Detail Pages Vyzex Vortex provides five detail pages (Neck, Body, Keybed, Knobs, and Pads). You can switch between these pages by clicking on the buttons along the top row, or by clicking on the corresponding area in the Vortex graphic that spans the bottom of the editor GUI. Each detail page shows the parameter settings for the related controls in the currently selected Patch. As you probably already know from exploring your Vortex, there are 24 patches aboard the device, of which the first 22 can be reprogrammed to suit your needs. On the left side of the editor GUI, there is a Bank Editor which is always visible. Whenever you select a new patch in the bank editor, this patch will be transmitted to the connected Vortex unit. The GUI will simultaneously update to show the patch parameter settings for the currently displayed patch page controls. We'll get into the bank editor shortly, but first let's explore the editor detail pages... Vyzex Vortex User's Guide 4
