Descriptions 1 Preset Select Knob - this knob allows you to select the “preset” you desire. Eight presets are available with this control. As the knob is turned the LED under the selected preset will light. 2 LED Display - see following page for detailed descriptions of display. 3 Time Select Knob - this knob allows you to increase or decrease the delay time of the preset. 4 Repeat Knob - this knob allows you to select the amount of times the delay signal will “repeat” itself.
Descriptions Continued 9 Tap/Store Switch and Store LED - this switch allows you to set the delay time by “tapping” the switch with your foot and to STORE changes to the preset. TAP function - Each of the 8 presets have a different tap parameter as indicated on the top line of the LED Display (see point 2). The Tap parameter is set (or fixed) for each preset and is not changeable. Simply press the TAP button 4 consecutive times at the tempo you want .
HUSH® is Rocktron's patented single-ended noise reduction system, and is available in all presets. The HUSH system provided in the Cyborg is a fully digital implementation, modeled after the latest analog HUSH design, achieved through Digital Signal Processing (DSP). The low level expander of the HUSH system operates like an electronic volume control.
LED Display The Cyborg’s LED Display consists of 8 LEDs that are used to visually show the user: 1) The PRESET selected 2) The TIME parameters available to the selected preset (called TIME CONTROL) 3) The TAP BUTTON parameter setting for the selected preset 4) The LEVEL setting (MIN through MAX) of each of the preset’s parameters for the Time Control knob (point 3), the Repeat Control Knob (point 4) and the Level Control knob (point 5). As an example, lets choose preset 1.
3) The LEVEL setting parameter shows the LEVEL settings of the following parameters: o The Time Control Knob (Point 3). Turning the Time Control knob will light LEDs in the display to show you the Delay time length that you have selected within the preset. To see the current delay time of the preset , turn the knob only one click. This will cause the LEDs to light showing your current setting. To change the setting continue turning the knob.
LED Display...continued... Tap Button and Time Control The top line in the LED display is the TAP BUTTON. As described in (point 9) of the description section of this manual, this line indicates the tap parameter available on each preset when using the TAP/STORE footswitch to determine the delay time. Please note that the tap parameters are only available on the selected preset. The next line down is the TIME CONTROL line. This line indicates the available DELAY TIME on each preset.
Tap Button and Time Control Line...continued Preset 5 has a Whole note tap parameter. This parameter is equal to 4 times the amount of time between taps. The Delay time available on this preset is 0ms-2 seconds. Preset 6 tap parameter is actually a “HOLD” function. Using the TAP/ STORE footswitch you can create a “loop” allowing you to be able to play over a riff. The Delay time available on this preset is 0ms-2 seconds.
Hold Function The Hold function allows you to record a quick riff which you can then play over. The HOLD function is only available on Preset 6. When you active preset 6 by turning on the delay using the ON/OFF switch (point 10) the delay will function as it would normally. Now, to activate the HOLD function follow these steps: 1) Play a riff until it is in time with the delay (note that the delay rate can be changed by tapping the TAP/STORE button (point 9)).
MIDI The Cyborg Delay pedal has a MIDI jack that allows you to access an additional 56 user presets. Using the Rocktron MIDI Breakout cable (sold separately) you can access these additional 56 presets (64 total) by using a Rocktron MIDI Controller such as the Rocktron MIDI XChange, MIDI Mate or All Access. This will also allow you to connect and control additional Rocktron Cyborg pedals.
