User manual DIGITECH RP300

[. . . ] User's Guide Warning For your protection, please read the following: Water and Moisture: Appliances should not be used near water (e. g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc. ) Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. These symbols are internationally accepted symbols that warn of potential hazards with electrical products. The lightning flash means that there are dangerous voltages present within the unit. The exclamation point indicates that it is necessary for the user to refer to the owners manual. These symbols warn that there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. [. . . ] Mid Frequency - The Number 3 Knob selects the frequency to which the boost will be applied by the mid level knob. Ranges from 500Hz (500 Hz. ) to 3000Hz (3000 Hz. ) Mid Level - The Number 4 Knob adjusts the amount of mid range enhancement. Treble - The Number 5 Knob adjusts the amount of high end enhancement. Noise Gate A Noise Gate is designed to eliminate hiss and ambient noise while you are not playing. A Noise Gate can also be used to create an automatic swell in volume. The RP300 includes two different types of Noise Gates: SilencerTM, and Pluck. The SilencerTM operates as a standard Noise Gate. The Pluck Noise Gate is designed to close after every note (depending on the Pluck Sensitivity). This allows automatic volume swells to occur on a note for note basis. Gate On/Off - The Number 1 Knob turns the Noise Gate on (ON) and off (OF). Gate Type - The Number 2 Knob selects between the silNCR (Silencer TM) or PLUCK (Pluck) type of Noise Gates. Gate Attack - The Number 3 Knob adjusts the length of time it takes the gate to open once the Threshold has been exceeded before the signal becomes audible. Ranges from 1 (immediate signal), to 9 (Selects the Auto Swell volume swell effect. This setting will gradually ramp up the volume). 12 Gate Threshold - The Number 4 Knob sets the signal strength required to open or close the Noise Gate. The Gate Threshold parameter ranges from 1 (opens easily) to 40 (requires strong signals to open). Pluck Sensitivity - The Number 5 Knob controls the point where the Gate re-triggers when using the Pluck type Noise Gate. This Parameter is only available when Pluck is the selected type of Noise Gate. Ranges from 1 (requires strong signals to re-trigger) to 99 (re-triggers with weak signals). Mod Effects The Modulation Effects row in the RP300 is a multi-function module allowing you to select effects such as; Chorus, Flanger, Triggered Flanger, Phaser, Triggered Phaser, Tremolo, Panner, Vibrato, Rotary Speaker, YaYaTM, AutoYaTM, SynthTalkTM, Envelope Filter (auto wah), Detune, Pitch Shift, and WhammyTM effects. When the Effects row is selected, the Number 1 Knob is used to turn the Effect module (EFFECT OF), and select the type of Modulation Effect to be used. After selecting the type of effect in this module, the Number 2, Number 3, Number 4, and Number 5 Knobs can then be used to adjust the individual Parameters associated with the selected effect. The following list describes each Effect and their Parameters in more detail: Chorus (CHORUS) A Chorus adds a short delay to your signal. The delayed signal is modulated in and out of tune and then mixed back with the original signal to create a thicker sound. Parameter 1 - The Number 2 Knob adjusts the rate (Speed) of the modulation. Parameter 2 - The Number 3 Knob adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the modulation. Flange (FLaNge) A Flanger uses the same principle as a Chorus but uses a shorter delay time and adds regeneration (or repeats) to the modulating delay. This results in an exaggerated up and down sweeping motion to the effect. Parameter 1 - The Number 2 Knob adjusts the rate (Speed) of the modulation. Parameter 2 - The Number 3 Knob adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the Modulation. Parameter 3 - The Number 4 Knob adjusts the amount of regeneration (repeats) added to the Flanger delay. Triggered Flanger (TRGFLG) A Triggered Flanger is the same sound as a regular Flanger but allows you to choose the starting point of the Flanger sweep. In a regular Flanger, the low frequency oscillator (LFO) is continually sweeping up and down. This means that when you begin to play, the flanger may be at the top, bottom, or any random point of the sweep. With a Triggered Flanger, every time the signal exceeds the Sensitivity level setting, the Flanger will begin at the point of the sweep that you designate with the value of the LFO Start Parameter. Parameter 1 - The Number 2 Knob adjusts the rate (Speed) of the modulation. [. . . ] Rotate the Number 3 Knob to select the minimum value the assigned parameter will reach at the bottom turn around point for the LFO (not available when volume is the assigned parameter). Rotate the Number 4 Knob to select the maximum value the assigned parameter will reach at the top turn around point for the LFO (not available when volume is the assigned parameter). Rotate the Number 5 Knob to select the speed at which the LFO will oscillate from the minimum to the maximum value. See page 9 for more information on the storing procedure. Factory Reset This function resets the RP300 to its original factory settings. This procedure will erase all custom user Presets, and recalibrate the Expression Pedal. [. . . ]
