SECTION 1 - FRONT PANEL CONTROLS Pitch: Changes the pitch of the Synth or Dry signal in half step increments Alt Function: Portamento Smoothly glide from one Synth note to another (Bends the pitch using the filter envelope as a modifier in Dry Mode) Feedback: Changes the cutoff frequency of the filter Alt Function: Filter Type Select between 6 filter types (from Min to Max) : 1. Ladder Lowpass 2. Ladder Shelving Bandpass 3. Ladder Highpass 4. State Variable Lowpass 5. State Variable Bandpass 6.

SECTION 4 - SIGNAL FLOW OVERVIEW The Enzo starts with a selection of four choices of synth modes: Polyphonic, Monophonic, Arpeggiated and Dry. Next in the chain is the multi-mode filter with 6 different types spanning ladder and state variable options. The filter flows into our classic ring mod section with variable carrier frequency and the ability to link to the Filter Envelope as a modifier. Last in the chain is the two tap delay line with modulation and stereo out.
SECTION 4B - FILTER TYPES AND CONTROL The Enzo features 6 different filter types as listed in the knob graphic below. The Ladder Filter options are based on our own custom ladder style topology and feature a sharp cutoff. The State Variable Filter options are based on a beloved synthesizer expander filter and feature a more gentle rolloff past the cutoff frequency.
SECTION 5 - EXPRESSION JACK MODES IN DEPTH The Expression Pedal Jack is a multifunction jack that gives you 4 different modes of operation that you can choose in Global Settings Mode: Expression Pedal, Tap Switch, 4 Button Preset Switch, and MIDI. Section 5a. Expression Pedal The expression pedal works by morphing between two complete settings of all of the knob values (even the second layer knob values).
Section 5b. Tap Switch For the Enzo, the external switch controls Tap Tempo and has all of the same functionality as the tap button on the main pedal, this includes max feedback. As with the main tap switch, if you hold the externally connected tap switch it will cause the delay max feedback. Section 5c. 4 Button Preset Switch This mode gives you access to and instant enabling of presets 1 through 4, when connected with a proprietary Meris 4 button switch. Section 5d.
SECTION 6 - KNOB AUTO SCAN IN DEPTH Depending on the EXP Jack modes you have chosen, the Enzo will scan the top layer knobs and update the knobs on power up. If your Enzo is set to either “Expression Pedal” or “Tap Switch” for its EXP mode, then it will scan the knobs at power up. This means if you change the knobs whether the unit is off, those values will be how the pedal sounds next time you turn the pedal is on.
