Insert Mode Program. Series Routing (default). Unusually similar, and yet cleaner, in the optional Parallel Routing. Program MIX 45% [CC#11]. Adjust for effect emphasis. Blackhole into Reverse, with stereo use in mind.
Base Program: Blooming metallic ambience, peppered by ‘modulating’ delay reverses. The very definition of a non-linear reverb configuration, and nowhere close to any amplifier reverb. Pedal control over the Einstein photoelectric effect. Dealer’s choice of additional pedal control over all regeneration, or switch options for 3 distinct variations.
* EXP1 controls Size, Mod Depth & Rate in Blackhole + X-Fade, Depth Mod & Speed in Reverse.
* Heel at default inverse+reverse blooms. Toe for chattering metal washes. Blended FX throughout any ‘fixed wah’ positions.
* Rapid EXP1 movement bends time & space downwards, then back upwards. Treadle more slowly for brief shifts.
*
* Both EXP1 & EXP2 are saved at the full Heel position.
* Selectable control alternatives:
* EXP2 increases Feedback in Blackhole + Feedback A & B in Reverse, up to micro-looping.
* AUX 4,5,6 engage HS1, HS2, HS3.
* Combine AUX or HotSwitches with pedals for more effect variations.
HotKnob mappings, for customizing delay times, reverb character, and reversed focus:
* [P] HotKnob (+/-) adjust Blackhole Pre Delay + Delay A & B in Reverse. [default=70 (OR) CC#1]
* [A] HotKnob (+/-) adjust Blackhole Inv-Gravity / Gravity. [default=36 (OR) CC#2].
* [B] HotKnob (+/-) adjust Reverse Delay Mix. [default=50 (OR) CC#10].
* MIDI CC# 1 [P] HotKnob
* MIDI CC# 2 [A] HotKnob
* MIDI CC# 7 Program Out Gain
* MIDI CC# 8 Blackhole Mix
* MIDI CC#10 [B] HotKnob
* MIDI CC#11 Program Mix
* MIDI CC#71 Blackhole Resonance
* MIDI CC#74 Blackhole Low & High Level + Reverse Filter
Other options:
* Program Active/Bypass.
* Momentary HS2 Infinite (ringing audio feedback-like effect).
* Momentary REPEAT of Reverse delay buffer.
* HS1 [AUX 4] – instant Freeze (long & wide reverse delays @ maximum feedback) – latching.
* HS2 [AUX 5] – instant Infinite (@ zero Gravity, moderate crossfades between delays) – latching.
* Latching REPEAT of Reverse delay buffer.
* ‘Hidden’ FX [AUX 6 only]
* HS3 – short delays, hard splicing, with a moderate Feedback decay – latching.
