Editing Set Lists Set Lists and the Control Surface
127
Songs work slightly differently, since they don’t have a
Write command (and must be saved to disk). All edits made
in Set List mode apply directly to the Songs in memory, and
can be saved to disk as desired.
Using the Control Assign From setting
The Control Assign setting determines the functions
assigned to the Control Surface, such as the mixer, Tone
Adjust, KARMA and Real-Time Knobs, and so on.
Control Assign From sets whether the Control Assign
applies to the Set List as a whole, and stays the same
regardless of which Slot is selected, or instead changes
according to the saved value for the Program, Combination,
or Song in the current Slot.
For instance, you may wish to have the Control Surface stay
assigned to the Set List EQ all the time. In this case, set
Control Assign From to Set List.
Or, you may wish to have the Control Surface update to
match the current Program, Combination, or Song. For
instance, you might want to use Tone Adjust for drawbars on
an organ Program, and then on the next Slot use the sliders to
control KARMA in a Combination. In that case, set Control
Assign From to Slot.
Graphic EQ
Set Lists have an additional Control Surface option, not
available in the other modes: EQ. This is a nine-band graphic
EQ applied to the sound after TFX2, which tailors the sound
from the main stereo outputs (including the analog L/R
outputs, S/P DIF, and USB).
You can use this EQ to compensate for the acoustic
environment of a specific club or other performance venue.
The sliders are mapped to the nine bands of the EQ, for
quick and intuitive adjustments.
All bands are peaking, including the high and low bands.
There is a single graphic EQ setting for each Set List, which
applies to all Slots in the list.
Using the Control Surface with the Graphic EQ
The last button in the Control Assign section, TONE ADJ,
has an additional option in Set List mode; pressing the
button toggles the Control Surface between Tone Adjust and
EQ.
Similar to the Timbre/Track and Audio buttons, the setting is
indicated by LEDs to the right of the button. To set the
Control Surface to control the Graphic EQ:
1. Press the TONE ADJ/EQ button until the EQ button
is lit.
If you press another Control Assign button, and then press
TONE ADJ/EQ again, the Control Surface returns to the
function last selected for the button. For instance, if you last
used it for EQ, then EQ will be selected.
As a shortcut, you can also touch the EQ graphic on the Set
List Play page. This will jump to the Control Surface page,
and set Control Assign to EQ.
Reset Controls
When on the EQ page, RESET CONTROLS + TONE
ADJ/EQ resets all EQ parameters, including Bypass, to the
values stored in the Set List.
RESET CONTROLS + Slider resets the slider’s band to the
stored value.
