Conﬁguring and using the TORPEDO Live

1 The TORPEDO Live interface

The TORPEDO Live parameters are organized in menus, accessible by different push-buttons and knobs you will

see on the ﬁgure 3.1:

• Two 2-function rotary encoders: PRESET/PARAMETER, OUTPUT LEVEL/VALUE

• Two push-buttons: SETUP and EDIT/HOLD TO SAVE.

• One potentiometer: input gain.

When pushing a button or turning an encoder, you see a parameter moving on the two lines display (item 3

in ﬁgure 3.1).

2 Input gain control

This encoder controls the input gain of the unit. As the TORPEDO Live being a digital product, it is absolutely

critical to avoid any saturation of the input signal and avoid the risk of considerably reducing the audio quality.

The input level is controlled by a potentiometer and is the same for all presets. To get the best sound, try to

have the same volume (or close) on all different sounds coming to the TORPEDO Live. This way you won’t have

to change the input gain when switching the channels on your ampliﬁer. If you don’t have individual volume

settings on your ampliﬁer channels, always do the gain setting with the loudest channel.

The input gain adjustment must be done with input signal present at the input selected (speaker or line input).

The input bargraph gives you a visual indication of the input signal amplitude. The upper red led is on when there

is saturation in the input stage: lower the volume of your ampliﬁer output and/or lower the input gain.

For optimum quality, we advise to keep the peak levels of the input signal at a

maximum of -12dB to -6dB on the bargraph.

3 Three modes: PERFORM, EDIT & SETUP

The TORPEDO Live has three different mode, giving you access to different parameters:

1. Navigate through the 100 presets in PERFORM mode

2. Edit a preset in EDIT mode

3. Setup global parameter of the machine in SETUP mode

To enter a mode, whatever the current mode, push the appropriate button. To see and modify the various

parameters, use the appropriate encoders wich function depends on the current mode.
