time but is otherwise off. If the currently selected beat is ON, the LED
pulses ON for a longer duration with a short off state.
7. TURNING A BEAT ON OR OFF: Press and release the MODE
footswitch to toggle the ON/OFF state of the currently selected beat.
8. SETTING THE LAST BEAT OF THE PATTERN / EXITING RHYTHM
PATTERN CREATE MODE: Once you have created a pattern that you
would like to save into memory, use the xRATE or WAVE INVERT
buttons to select the last beat in your pattern.
9. Press the EXP MODE button to save the pattern and exit
Rhythm Pattern Create mode. IMPORTANT: the beat you are on
when you exit Rhythm Pattern Create mode will determine the last beat
of the pattern. For example if you want to create a 4 beat pattern, beat
4 must be selected at the time you press EXP MODE to exit Rhythm
Pattern Create mode. If you want to create an 8 beat pattern, make
sure beat 8 is selected at the time you exit User Rhythm Creation mode.
10. The Rhythm patterns you create will overwrite the factory patterns.
When you exit Rhythm Pattern Create mode it is saved into the Normal
mode memory, not into a preset. Only the pattern that is selected at
the time you exit is saved. Your patterns can also be saved into
presets. Each preset can have an entirely different set of 9 patterns as
compared to another preset. In addition, if a preset is loaded you can
edit the rhythmic patterns for that preset while the preset is loaded.
When you are finished editing/creating the new pattern(s) for the
preset, re-save the preset by following the Saving Presets instructions
on a prior page.
SWIRLING PAN – To obtain a swirling effect as if the sound is encircling you,
set WAVE to SINE, set RT. PHASE to about 10 o’clock and SHAPE to 12 o’clock.
This works best with a mono in/stereo out configuration.
RHYTHM ECHO – When configured to mono in/stereo out and using a rhythmic
pattern, set the RT. PHASE knob above 9 o’clock and it will start to sound like
the Right channel is an echo of the Left channel. RT. PHASE set to 360° and the
Right channel will be exactly 1 beat behind the Left channel.
FACTORY RESTORE – While powering up the Super Pulsar, press and hold
the WAVE INVERT and TAP DIVIDE buttons simultaneously. During the
normal start up routine, the waveform LEDs light sequentially to the right.
Continue to hold the 2 buttons until you see the LEDs turn off sequentially
to the left. Once the LEDs begin turning off towards the left, you can release
the buttons, factory restore has begun. Restore usually takes a few seconds.
