PLAY
MODE
Most of the time during performance, the Tube Fex will be in the
play
mode. The play mode is accessed by
pressing the
Play
button. The Tube Fex also switches to play mode each time it responds to a MIDI program
change command (such as those sent by an optional foot controller). A typical display for play mode is shown
below:
173
Majestic
12
U3
TB+twPl+P2+DL
As described in the quick start section, the first letter A in the display (with the flashing cursor under
it)
indicates
that the program being played is in program bank A. The number following it is the program number. The
name is the name of the preset which that program points to. The U indicates that this preset is stored in user
preset memory, and the number is the number of the preset.
On the bottom line of the display are the first five effects in the effect chain. (If the chain is longer than
6
effects,
the others will not be shown. In this case, the chain is: Tube preamp is series with Noise Gate in series with
Pitch
Shift
1
in parallel with
Pitch
Shift 2 in series with Delay.
Note: Lower case letters indicate that the effect has been bypassed.
SETTING
UP
YOUR
PROGRAMS
Any program from any bank can call up any preset. In performance this is an extremely handy feature. To
change which preset is called by the program currently selected, press the
right
arrow button so that the
cursor is flashing under the preset name. Use
v
or A buttons to select the preset you desire to have
mdpped
to this program. Changes are automatically stored, so this is all you have to do. Press the left arrow button
to select the program, switch to the next program, and set it up by repeating the above steps.
When a RAM cartridge is installed, programs in bank
11
or B can be
programmed
to point to presets stored
on the cartridge. If at a later time the cartridge is removed and this program is selected, the display will show:
FE
*tW
GIRT*
C0
?M+3B+OD+R’v’
The sound being played will not change. You should replace the cartridge, or select a new preset for this program.
A third program bank is available on the
RAM
cartridge. ‘When reprogramming this bank, you must ensure
that the cartridge write protect is disabled; otherwise you will get the following message:
CFIRTRIDGE
WRITE-PROTECTED
The program will not change. For more information on the
RAM
cartridge see chapter 5.
