Selecting and changing parameters
When you press or move the EFFECT knob, the Voluum will enter Preset Edit mode. The
flashing
LED shows which effect is being edited. Successive presses on the EFFECT knob will
cycle between editing the parameters for the gate, compressor,
LFO , volume and limiter
effects.
To include an effect in the signal chain, press the active button. The active button and the
LED beside the effect will light up to show that the effect is active. The LED s for other active
effects will also be lit, but these will be dimmer and not flashing to show that the effects are
active but not being edited.
For each effect that you edit, select the method of control for this effect using the
CONTROL
button. The control methods are none (nothing selected), pedal, envelope or MIDI .
Successive presses of the
CONTROL button cycle round the valid control options for the
selected effect. Stop when the
LED beside your choice of control for the effect is illuminated.
Note that not all control methods are valid for all effects, and each effect (i.e., all the
controllable parameters in that effect) can be controlled by only one method.
Cycle round the effect’s parameters using the  buttons. The name of the parameters is
shown on the display to make it clear what is being selected for editing. Turn the knob to
change the value of the parameter that is being edited.
For some combinations of effect parameter and control method, the hi or lo
LED will light up
to show that the value of the parameter being edited applies to the high or low point of the
control. For a pedal-controlled parameter, hi corresponds to the “toe-down” position, lo to
the “heel-down” position. For a
MIDI controlled parameter, hi and lo correspond to the
maximum and minimum values of the
MIDI controller. And for an envelope-controlled
parameter, hi and lo correspond to the signal becoming louder and quieter. Press the hi/lo
button to toggle between the hi and lo values for the parameter being edited.
When you have the value that you want for a parameter, select another parameter to edit.
When you have completed your editing, you can save your setup as described previously.
Top Tip: To change the hi and lo values together so that both the hi and lo of the
parameter are set to the same value, hold the hi/lo button down while you turn
the knob to set the parameter value. Note that the hi and lo
LED s will both light
when you do this to show that both values are being updated.
