BYPASS LEVEL

[100%]

[0 to 100%] or [= MIX DRY LEVEL]

You may globally control the level of the signal of the Bypass signal when you

bypass the ALPHA 2.0. The Bypass Level Utility parameter overrides whatever "DRY"

level of the Mix set in each preset. Every time you Bypass the ALPHA 2.0, the

through signal level will be whatever this value is set to. The initial default

setting is 75%.

When the value is set to [= MIX DRY LEVEL], the DRY level setting (from the

Programmable Mix) of the individual preset will be the signal level when the

ALPHA 2.0 is bypassed. Set your Bypass Level to avoid wild jumps in volume when

kicking the ALPHA 2.0 in and out.

REMOTE SWITCH 1 & 2

[= BYPASS ON/OFF]

The REMOTE jacks may be programmed to either Bypass the ALPHA 2.0, access the

Increment or Decrement Preset mode, and Re-Arm or Trigger the Sampler. A

footswitch and any two conductor cable is intended to be used with these jacks.

If you are using an ART X-15 ULTRAFOOT, you can use the Bypass Jack feature on

the X-15 to control one of the ALPHA 2.0's Remote Jacks. A momentary (normally

open) switch should be used in applications other than the X-15's bypass feature.

Use the following chart to determine how the Remote Jacks may be programmed.

# REMOTE 1 REMOTE 2

0 BYPASS ON/OFF BYPASS ON/OFF

1 SAMPLE-TRIGGER SAMPLE-TRIGGER

2 INCR PROGS 2 SAMPLER-ARM

3 N/A (no value) DECR PROGS

Either jack may be programmed for the Bypass feature, each time the footswitch is

activated (hot connected to ground) the BYPASS function is accessed and acts like

the Bypass button on the front panel.

The jacks may also be programmed to allow a footswitch to be used for accessing

either the Trigger or Re-Arm function when using the Sampler program. Either

Remote 1 or Remote 2 can be assigned as the Trigger and Remote 2 may be assigned

as the Re-Arm.

These jacks may also be programmed to increment and decrement through a set of

presets. Remote 1 may be set for incrementing up and Remote 2 may be set for

decrementing down. For decrement program to work, you must program Remote 1 for

increment. You can not program the Remote 2 jack for decrement alone.

AUTO PM DISPLAY [ALWAYS DISPLAYED]

OFF, PRESET ONLY, ALWAYS DISPLAYED

This utility let's you set when the LCD displays Performance MIDI messages. When

set to OFF, no message is displayed when the ALPHA 2.0 receives Performance MIDI

messages. Preset Only allows messages to be displayed when in Preset Mode or when

editing a preset. Always Displayed means the MIDI message will be displayed

whenever the ALPHA 2.0 receives a (Performance) MIDI message.
