• Hardware Bypass Mode: Selects between True or Buffered Bypass.
• MIDI Channel: Selects the pedal’s MIDI channel (1 through 16).
• Control Input Option: This dropdown menu assigns the control function of the external
switch connected to the CONTROL INPUT.
• Power Up State: Selects between engaging or bypassing the effect upon the initial power up
of the pedal.
• Default Routing Option: Sets the default I/O signal routing mode. Descriptions of the
available routing modes are available in the Stereo Operation & Signal Routing section of this
manual.
• Quick Bank Switch Using Footswitch (2 Seconds): Enabling this setting allows you to bank to
and from the secondary (red LED) bank of presets by pressing + holding down the footswitch
for 2 seconds instead of 5 seconds.
• USB-MIDI Skip Power Check (for use with USB-MIDI Hosts): The Ultrawave can receive MIDI
PC messages via the pedal's USB port. It requires MIDI DAW software or a MIDI host device
with USB. The Ultrawave should respond to most devices, but some don't generate enough
power for the Ultrawave to recognize them as a MIDI host (the MIDI Baby and qCONNECT
from Disaster Area Designs are two examples). If your Ultrawave is not responding to your
MIDI host device, try checking this box.
• Pedal Input & Control Input Calibration (accessible via the Show Expression Pedal
Calibration dropdown controls): In some cases, it might be necessary to adjust the
calibration range of an expression pedal to get the desired pedal response when using
expression control either through the Neuro Hub, a direct connection to the Source Audio
Dual Expression Pedal, or a 3
rd
-party pedal. To perform the calibration process, connect the
pedal and press the “Calibrate” button. Then rock the pedal back and forth to set the
minimum value and the range. When complete, press the “Stop and Set” button to retain the
new calibration values. Or press “Reset” to return to the default values.
Sound Editor
Upon clicking the wrench icon in the Connections section, the Ultrawave Multiband Processor’s
Sound Editor interface appears in a tab in the center panel. This is where all of the sound editing
work takes place.
The Sound Editor is broken into several sub-sections, each containing a unique variation of virtual
knobs and dropdown menus. The following is an in-depth explanation of each Sound Editor sub-
section.
