3) MIDI CHANNEL#s: The display "CHnn" (where "nn" is the channel# associated with
a particular MIDI event) shows the channel# as a 1-origin number. A MIDI event
with a channel# value of 2 will display as "CH03"!
4) If, while in MEM mode, the unit is enabled to respond to PROGRAM CHANGE events
(and those events occur on the same channel on which the unit is listening) and
such an event occurs which causes the unit to switch to a preset that has the
SAMPLER effect, a message may display for a few moments indicating that the
SAMPLER is RECORD-READY. When this message (or others) is finished, the display
will return to the most recent event and display mode.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
About the Presets
The first 30 presets in the MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0 show off some of the many
capabilities of the device. These patches include general purpose reverbs, reverb
for mixdown, an automatic tuner, multiple pitch effects, vocal delay, enhancers,
and sampling, chorus, flange, phasing and other special effects. After that you
will find variations for different type sounds and effects. Some presets are set
up for instant use with the ART X-15 ULTRAFOOT MIDI Controller. Use the X-15 to
control certain parameters in the preset. We encourage you to take the time to
listen to all the presets just so you can get a feel for the sounds and effects
your MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0 is capable of producing.
Battery Backup
When power is terminated to the MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0, the edited MPT as well as
the last preset used and the MIDI Channel will be active when the unit is next
powered up. Memory retention is expected to last four years. Should you encounter
memory loss, contact our service department.
Low Battery Indicator
The life of the internal lithium battery is approximately four years. If you see
the right decimal point illuminated in the seven segment display, it is
indicating the voltage of the lithium battery is low.
Software Revision Level
There is a way to correctly identify the software version residing in the unit.
While in Edit Mode, press the Utility button, then press the Param button. Turn
the Encoder until the current version as well as the date is displayed in the
LCD. The MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0's software is contained in a socketed EPROM and is
field replaceable. This software controls the MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0's functions as
well as its sounds.
