Morphing | 1716 | Preset Saving
MORPHING
The expression input on the MWB Pro can be used to morph between
two presets. More specically, you can morph from between banks from
preset
1 to 4, 2 to 5, and 3 to 6. For example, let’s say preset 1 is saved as
a Multiband normal setting and preset
4 is a Multiband octave setting.
By connecting a passive expression pedal, you can fade from the preset
1
Multiband normal sound into the octave effect by rocking the expression
pedal from heel to toe. As you fade between the sounds, the color of the
LED above the footswitch will fade from green (bank A) to red (bank B) to
indicate where the morph is between the two presets.
In contrast to the
MIX control, the morphing is not a cross fade between
two sounds but rather a gradual shift between all of the individual
parameters. So the middle of expression pedal range is truly an “in-
between” sound.
There are
276 possible pair combinations of sounds and some will sound
better than others. Some obvious applications are morphing from clean
to distorted sounds, low drive settings to high drive settings, changes in
volume, or between dramatically different sounds.
The expression pedal can be effectively inverted by pressing the
PRESET
BANK
button. This will toggle start and stop presets for the pedal. Keep
in mind that adjusting knobs while using the expression pedal will only
control the preset in the currently selected bank, independent of the
expression pedal position. Also, while tweaking presets to get the desired
pair of sounds for morphing, don’t forget to save before switching banks
with the bank select button.
The expression pedal can also be used as a means of effectively switch-
ing between preset banks, allowing access to all
6 presets with foot
controls only.
The expression input is intended for use primarily with a passive expres-
sion pedal. It could potentially be used with a Control Voltage
(CV) output
but the input voltage range is limited to
0 to 3.3V. Take extra precaution
before connecting any
CV output to the MWB Pro. Exceeding the voltage
range (above
3.3V or below 0V) could damage the unit.
PRESET SAVING
An edited preset can be saved by pressing and holding a footswitch as
described in the Controls: Footswitches section. An edited preset can be
saved to any one of the
6 preset locations. For example if preset 1 has
been selected and edited, it can be saved to preset location
3 by pressing
and holding the
3/6 footswitch. Once the preset has been saved to that
location, the new location will be the selected preset. The unedited preset
will still be at location 1.
Presets can be copied across preset banks by holding the
PRESET BANK
button and then pressing and holding a footswitch. For example, if preset
2 has been selected and edited, holding the PRESET BANK button (A) and
then pressing and holding footswitch
2/5 (B) will save the current settings
to location
5. It could also be saved to locations 4 and 6 in the same man-
ner. Once the preset is saved to another bank, the preset in the current
bank will stay selected and
NOT be saved to its own location since it was
saved elsewhere as a new preset.
Saving between banks is especially useful when setting up parameters
for morphing between preset banks.
