EXPRESSION PEDAL USE AND SETUP
The Attack Decay accepts an expression pedal with TRS plug or control
voltage (CV) or clock pulse on a TS plug at its EXP phonejack. Please see
page 8 for specifications on acceptable expression pedals and voltage
ranges for the Attack Decay.
The Attack Decay’s expression pedal settings can be modified so that any
knob or combination of knobs, in any combination of ranges and
directions, is controlled by an expression pedal or CV.
 Expression settings are saved with presets.
 After a factory reset, expression controls the VOL knob.
 See page 17 for information on controlling the Attack Decay’s volume
envelopes from an external clock pulse.
CREATING EXPRESSION SWEEP SETTINGS
1. Press and hold the BYPASS footswitch. While holding BYPASS, press
and release the PRESET 1 button.
2. Once both buttons are pressed down, the BYPASS LED and PRESET 1
button blink at a medium pace. When you see them blink, release the
footswitch and the button.
3. Set any of the Attack Decay’s eight knobs to the setting you want
them to have when the expression pedal is in the heel position.
4. Press and release PRESET 1 to save the heel settings. The PRESET 1
button and Status LED now blink at a faster rate.
5. Set any of the eight knobs to the setting you want them to have in
the expression pedal’s toe position. If you do not want a knob to be
swept by the expression pedal, do not turn it at this point.
6. Press and release the PRESET 1 button to save the toe settings.
7. The PRESET 1 and Status LEDs will blink rapidly for one second.
8. Your custom expression setting is now complete and ready to use. It
remains even after powering down the pedal.
9. Expression sweeps are saved to presets with your other settings.
CANCELLING KNOBS FROM EXPRESSION SWEEP SETTINGS
 While a plug is inserted into the EXP jack, turning a knob that is part
of the current expression setting will remove that knob from the
expression sweep.
 For example if you create an expression setting that sweeps both
ATTACK and DECAY, turning the ATTACK knob will remove ATTACK
from the expression setting so that only DECAY is swept.
 In this example, turning DECAY next will also remove it from the
expression setting after which the pedal no longer sweeps a knob.
