The programmed Mix parameters may be stored as part of the preset. To save the
values in each preset, press the STORE button.
You may also control the Mix parameters with an external MIDI controller such as
the ART X-15 ULTRAFOOT using the ALPHA 2.0's Performance MIDI.
CAUTION: If you have an Equalizer active in the preset its individual frequency
levels will have an impact on the mix setting by raising or lowering the level of
the effect signal.
NOTE: Presets may have varying output levels due to a level control as one of
their parameters. You may vary the individual effect output Level parameter to
directly change the apparent mix of the effect in the preset.
PARAM
When you engage the PARAM button, effect parameters within the current preset
may be viewed. The ALPHA 2.0 automatically enters you into the EDIT mode when you
select the PARAM button. Selection of the parameters may be done with the Encoder
or by pressing the Param button repeatedly.
When you are in MIDI or UTILITY mode, pressing the Param button will allow you to
select the available parameters with the Encoder knob or by pressing the Param
button repeatedly.
While you are editing a preset, the Param button may be used as a cursor left
key. Each time you press the button, the parameter value will scroll to the left.
VALUE
Every displayed parameter value in the ALPHA 2.0 may be changed. When the VALUE
button is engaged, you automatically enter EDIT mode and are allowed to change
the parameter value using the Encoder. Press the STORE button to save any changes
you make.
While you are editing a preset, the Value button may be used as a cursor right
key. Each time you press the button, the parameter values will scroll to the
right.
Press the Value button and turn the Encoder left or right to view effects
contained in a preset. A diagonal left or right arrow in the LCD indicates more
information is available for viewing.
PROGRAMMING HINT:
Press the Value button to change and view the parameters then
use the Encoder to set the value. This way you don't have to switch between the
Param and Value buttons to edit values.
BYPASS
Engaging the BYPASS button kills the effect's signal and "zeroes" (sets the bands
flat) the EQ in the mix passing only dry signal to the outputs. When you first
press the BYPASS button in either operating mode with a preset listed in the LCD,
the display will first read [ **** BYPASS ****], then it will list the preset
name. The LED associated with the button will flash to indicate you are in the
bypass mode. Pressing BYPASS again returns the unit to the ACTIVE mode indicated
by the display [ ****ACTIVE****] for about two seconds and then just displaying
the preset name and effects. Bypass level is determined by the Bypass Level
parameter discussed in the Utility section.
