For optimal performance, set this level so the Input level indicators (located on the front panel) occasionally light the red LEDs. 2) Left/Mono Input - This Input jack is used for the Left or Mono input.
Section -2 Operation and Editing S-100 Section-2 Operation and Editing This section will provide you with all of the information necessary to get the most out of your S-100. Program Mode When the S-100 is in program mode, you can move from one program to the next by either using the wheel, the optional Digitech FS-300 footswitch or incoming MIDI program change commands from another device such as a sequencer or keyboard.
S-100 Section -2 Operation and Editing To select any one of these five different configurations, simply perform the following procedure: • Press the button and the display will briefly read: CF indicating that you are in the configuration select mode and now the display will appear something like this: C1 • Now turn the wheel until the desired configuration appears (C1-5) in the display.
Section -2 Operation and Editing S-100 Selecting the MIDI Channel and MIDI CC Information • To select the MIDI channel in which the S-100 receives program change information, from Program mode, press the button twice and the display will briefly read: ch (this indicates MIDI channel mode), followed by: 1 • Now turn the wheel to select the desired MIDI channel. The options for the MIDI channel selection ranges from: 1-16, All and of (Off).
S-100 Section -2 Operation and Editing • Press the button once and the display will briefly read: e • Now to make adjustments to the four different EQ parameters use the buttons. Parameter and value range for each is listed below. Parameter 1 - Lo EQ - Range for the Low EQ is from -12 to +12 dB. Parameter 2 - Parametric Frequency - Range for the Parametric Frequency is from 1 to 26. Parameter 3 - Parametric Level - Range for the Parametric Level is from -12 to +12 dB.
Section -2 Operation and Editing S-100 Editing Engine A and B Modules Because of its processing power, the S-100 gives you two Engine modules that are fully programmable. The following section explains the simple procedure for Engine A and B editing. Selecting and Editing Effects • From Program mode, press either the or button.
