Tap Dancing Troubadours

Insert Mode Program – Series Routing – Program MIX 50%. Programmed for stereo use.

Prism Shift into UltraTap. Initially disguised as a light filtered reverb, with pitch-shifted artifacts. Morphing into accompaniment by a ghostly orchestra.

All three HotKnobs are pre-programmed for making fine adjustments to several of the effects. Customize the sound, using these variations:

* [P] HotKnob (CW) – increases all Prism Shift and UltraTap Feedback levels. [default = 0]
* [A] HotKnob (CW) – changes Prism Shift Arp Type + increases Step Length. [default = 0].
* [B] HotKnob (CW) swaps UltraTap Width position and drops out Spread. [default = 0].

EXP1 sweeps Prism Shift intervals, while increasing UltraTap Length, number of Taps, and decreasing Slurm diffusion and modulation.

Other options include momentary Shift of Prism Shift intervals, retriggering UltraTap Chop machine, swapping Prism Shift Arp Order, Spread, random Feed Tap, with maximum Feedback, FREEZE the lower and upper Prism Shift voices, and adding a Square Chop tremolo from UltraTap.

See the Program Notes for more information on the PERFORM switch mappings.

    Digging this one, Brock, Initial thoughts: I like the original settings while playing short, palm muted arpeggios on a guitar for a short wavy pitch delay slurm-ish repeat. Maybe not the sexiest way to utilize all that it can do but useful for me.

    No man, I totally agree. The most useful settings should always be right there, in the base Program, on initial load. I put all of the tap-dancing, HotKnob adjustments, and bells ‘n’ whistles onboard to enhance the versatility.

    It’s difficult to ignore Expression pedal adjustments, because I’m so dependent on that in my own playing. Things like speed changes. But I strive to keep it all real at full Heel.

    As an aside, I do believe the current EXP pedal position is saved in the H90 Program / Preset. Unconfirmed 100%, but I always save at full Heel, to be in the safe side.
