CREATING A CUSTOM EXPRESSION SETTING

1. Press and hold the EXP/PRESET button until the green LED starts

blinking slowly. This is heel-acquisition mode for an expression setting.

2. Turn any of the knobs to the settings you would like to use for the

heel position of the expression pedal.

3. Press and release the EXP / PRESET button. The green LED will start

blinking quickly, indicating that the heel expression settings have been

saved and the Mainframe has entered toe-acquisition mode.

4. Turn any of the knobs to the settings you would like to use for the toe

position of the expression pedal. Set the FILTER toggle switch to the

position you would like to use for the expression setting.

Note: Any knobs that are in the same position in the heel- and toe-

acquisition modes will not be included in the expression setting, but

their toe position will still be used when loading a preset without an

expression pedal.

5. If you have an expression pedal plugged in to the Mainframe, you can

sweep the pedal during toe-acquisition to hear how the expression

settings will sound.

6. Press and release the EXP/PRESET button. The green LED will light

solid, indicating that the expression setting or preset is active. If

Sample Rate Tuning Mode was active during the creation, it will be

turned off and the tuned sample rate will be saved to the toe position

of the expression setting.

Tip: You can follow the above instructions to create an expression setting

even if an expression pedal is not plugged in. For this reason, the heel-

and toe-acquisition settings are always part of the process, whether you’re

creating an expression setting or a preset.

CANCELING PRESET OR EXPRESSION SETTING CREATION

While creating a preset or in the heel- or toe-acquisition modes, you can

cancel the creation of a custom expression setting or preset by pressing

and releasing the footswitch. The previously-saved expression setting or

preset will be loaded, and any new settings will be discarded.
