EXP Jack
The EXP jack accepts a TRS cable from a standard passive expression pedal. Each
synth type has a specific parameter controlled by the expression pedal, as
explained in the SYNTH TYPE DESCRIPTIONS section.
When saving a preset, the expression pedal position is saved along with the knobs.
If the expression pedal is not present or has not been moved since recalling the
preset, the Bass Mono Synth loads the saved expression pedal setting. This allows
you to tweak the parameter(s) controlled by the expression pedal to later recall
with your presets.
The expression pedal’s plug must be wired with the Sleeve connected to the heel
position (usually GND), Ring connected to the toe position and the Tip connected
to the wiper. The nominal expression pedal impedance is 10kΩ though most other
values will work fine. Please do not go below 6kΩ on your expression pedal’s
potentiometer impedance. Some suggested Expression Pedals: EHX Expression

500L. Additionally, the EXP IN jack can be connected to a CV source using a TS
plug; the acceptable control voltage range is 0V to 5V.
BYPASS Footswitch
Press the BYPASS footswitch to toggle the SYNTH OUTPUT jack between buffered
bypass and effect modes. The status LED lights when you are in effect mode.
PRESET Footswitch
Use this footswitch to toggle between Preset and live What You See Is What You
Get (WYSIWYG) modes. The PRESET footswitch is also used to save a preset to
the current synth type set by the TYPE knob. See the PRESETS section for more
information on saving and recalling presets.
Status LED
The Status LED lights while the Bass Mono Synth effect is engaged. The Status
LED is off when the unit is in buffered bypass. The LED lights green for WYSIWYG
mode and lights red when preset mode is selected. The LED lights orange, in either
mode, when loud notes are output from the SEND block into the synth trigger
block.
