Scene memory
Imagine you have a gig and have just put together the set list for the evening with your
colleagues. A good idea might be to create a list in VANDAL in the form of presets. It's
plausible to think of an individual folder with the name, location, and date of the gig. The
individual presets would match each song that is planned.
As a guitarist, you will probably want more than a single setting for each of your songs. If
more gain or volume is needed in a particular solo section, then it would be unmanageable
to create an entire preset for this.
The solution to this that VANDAL offers is a range of four variations for each preset, and
these are so-called "scenes". These may be switched using keys 1 - 4 beside the preset
list or by clicking the names.
Settings may be transferred easily to other scenes simply by pressing the copy button for
the source scene, and then switching to the target scene and pressing paste.
Scenes may be switched externally via MIDI:
Access these functions by clicking the wrench symbol below the tuner. A separate display
appears. Click the global tab. Specify here which MIDI commands the scene control
should respond to.
Parameter control via MIDI and remote
If you would like to use VANDAL not only in the studio, but also in the rehearsal room or on
stage, then a regular MIDI foot controller may be used to control all of VANDAL's
parameters externally. For example, preset changes via program change commands or
movements on a wah-wah pedal are no problem via MIDI control changes.
A MIDI configuration may be set for each preset and each save scene in VANDAL.
A maximum of 5 different control commands may be assigned at the same time in
VANDAL. The source for controlling may be external MIDI, but the five remote controllers
below the preset display are also available.
Click on the wrench symbol below the tuner. In the new display, up to four target
parameters may be assigned to the individual MIDI controllers.
For each target parameter, a selection my be entered for the type and level of the control.
For example, Add to param indicates that the value of the external controller or remote
controller is added to the parameter that is being controlled.
Let's assume as a simple exercise that the controller, which is sending MidiCC 7 (Volume),
should also control the guitar amp's gain in the lead channel from null up to the current
control setting. Simultaneously, the master volume should be reduced to compensate the
volume. Proceed as follows:
• In "Remote 1" view in the MIDI CONTROL area, click "MIDI learn" or select "CC 7
volume" from the list. This specifies that the first remote save section should be
controlled with the pedal.
