Insert Mode Program. Parallel Routing (default). Elongated & congested effects in the optional Series Routing. Adjust Program MIX [45% – CC#11] for overall effect emphasis. Prism Shift alongside Prism Shift, with stereo use in mind.
Base Program: Semi-standard ‘delay’ that rapidly decays into tiny swirls of pitch-shifting. The true focus being -> the active mixdown of ‘Slow Gear’ envelopes, layered over the relentless passage of time. Altered time, in a real sense of the term.
* EXP1 -> (P) HotKnob, Fdbck Low-Mid-High, Feed Tap & Spread in Prism Shift 1 & 2.
* When used full-bore as a micro looper, hold EXP1 @ Heel (3-4 seconds) to completely clear the buffer.
* At less than 3-4 seconds, any newer input is ‘overdubbed’ onto the background layer, for building dynamic phrases.
* Both EXP1 & EXP2 are saved at the full Heel position.
*
* Selectable control alternatives.
* Re-calibrate System-I/O-Exp/Ctl for either external device.
* EXP2 controls Prism Shift 1 – HotKnob [A] + Shift & Prism Shift 2 – [B] HotKnob + Shift.
* AUX 4,5,6 engage HS1, HS2, HS3.
* Combine Performance + AUX / HotSwitches with pedals, for more FX variations & overrides.
HotKnob mappings: overall durations, lag times, & levels of outer (or frozen) voices:
* [P] HotKnob (CW) controls Step Length & Slew Time in both Prism Shift 1 & 2 [default=0 OR EXP#1].
* [A] HotKnob (+/-) adjusts Gain Low & Gain High in Prism Shift 1 [default=87 OR EXP#2].
* [B] HotKnob (+/-) adjusts Gain Low & Gain High in Prism Shift 2 [default=87 OR EXP#2].
MIDI CC mappings:
* MIDI CC# 7 Program Out Gain [value 104 = -1.0 dB]
* MIDI CC# 8 Prism Shift 1 Mix [value = 0 – flipped mapping]
* MIDI CC#11 Program Mix [value 57 = 45%]
* MIDI CC#12 Prism Shift 1 Gain Mid [value 112 = 0 dB]
* MIDI CC#13 Prism Shift 2 Gain Mid [value 112 = 0 dB]
* MIDI CC#16 Prism Shift 1 Arp Type [value = 0]
* MIDI CC#17 Prism Shift 1 Arp Order [value = 0]
* MIDI CC#18 Prism Shift 2 Arp Type [value = 0]
* MIDI CC#19 Prism Shift 2 Arp Order [value = 0]
* MIDI CC#40 Prism Shift 2 Mix [value = 0 – flipped mapping]
* MIDI CC#74 Prism Shift 1 & 2 Auto EQ [value = 127]
Added PERFORM options:
* Program Active/Bypass.
* TAP: 100 BPM
* SHIFT (M) – Prism Shift 1 – momentary glides based on the current Shift intervals.
* SHIFT (M) – Prism Shift 2 – momentary glides based on the current Shift intervals.
* Less prominent with EXP2 @ Heel (the base configuration).
* More prominent with EXP2 @ Toe / AUX 4-5-6 / [A] & [B] HotKnobs = 100.
* FREEZE – Prism Shift 1 – latching.
* FREEZE – Prism Shift 2 – latching.
* To maximize the effect: [A] and/or [B] HotKnobs = 100 / EXP2 @ Toe / AUX 4-5-6.
* Latch either switch for drones in parallel with another active shifter.
* Alternately latch/unlatch each switch to flip the routing & create eBow effects.
* Latch both switches for dry input layered over an infinitely sustained chord-builder.
* Frozen sounds can be transposed using any HotSwitch, Performance or EXP pedal.
* HS0 (default state)] – octaves & fifths uprising.
* HS1 [AUX 4] – latched to octaves tumbling down.
* HS2 [AUX 5] – latched to down & up stroke fourths.
* HS3 [AUX 6] – latched to up & down stroke fifths.
* On switch press, each is programmed to trigger pitch gliding from any previous state.
