PitchFactor User Guide The Footswitches
37
The following attributes are saved with Presets and recalled when Presets are loaded:
1) Parameter knob values.
2) Tempo/Tap value.*
3) Tempo On/Off status.
4) Expression pedal mapping.
* Note: PitchFactor can be set up to change the Tempo value when a Preset is loaded or to
ignore the value saved with the Preset. While Tempo values are always saved with the Preset,
you may prefer to have your current Tempo stay the same as you switch from Preset to Preset.
Turn GLOBAL TEMPO ON to do that. With GLOBAL TEMPO ON, the Tempo values saved with
the Preset are ignored and the current Tempo value is used. Global is described later in this
User Guide.
Selecting Preset Banks
In Bank Mode, the Right Footswitch is used to select the current Bank. Tap the Right
Footswitch to increment through the active Banks. When a Bank is displayed, the associated
pair of Presets is cued but the new Preset is not yet loaded. The next time that either the Left
or Middle Footswitch is pressed, the corresponding Preset will load from the cued Bank.
Note: If the previous loaded Preset is in Bypass when the footswitch is pressed, the newly
loaded Preset will be Active.
Note: Edited Presets will be lost if they are not saved before loading another Preset.
Active Banks
If 100 Presets are more than you need, and you’d like to make it quicker and easier to find
and load your Presets, the number of active Banks can be reduced. Only the Banks that are
active will show up when loading. While only active Banks can be loaded, Presets can always
be saved to all Banks. Inactive Banks are not erased and can be made active at any time.
Active Banks can be limited to a range. The default is for all 100 Presets active, this
corresponds to having the full range of Banks active - from 1 to 50. You can limit the number
of active Banks, by setting the active range in System Mode. For example, if you set the lower
Bank limit to 5 and the upper Bank limit to 10, Banks 5-10 will be active. By logically
grouping your Presets, you can get through a song or set without having to click through all
100 Presets. Remember, when saving Presets, group them to best suit your needs.
The factory default sets the number of active Banks to 50. To limit the number of active
Banks:
1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few
seconds to enter System Mode. Release the Encoder.
2) Turn the Encoder until [UTILITY] is displayed.
3) Momentarily press the Encoder.
4) Turn the Encoder until [BANKS] is displayed.
5) Momentarily press the Encoder.
6) Press the Left Footswitch and turn the Encoder to set the lower Bank limit.
7) Press the Right Footswitch and turn the Encoder to set the upper Bank limit.
8) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few
seconds to exit System Mode.
