When all 5 slots are filled up – each new slot will be blended in on a rotational basis

– slot number 6 will replace the 1st slot; slot 7 replaces the 2nd slot, and so on.

(NOTE)

The maximum number of slots slots can be adjusted in "GROUP mode" -

let's take a little detour:

SINGLE MODE and GROUP MODE

When in Single mode: holding down the foot-pedal will allow you to sustain one

(most recent) note/chord. All previous audio slots will continue fading out

according to the speed set by the TAIL knob.

However, In GROUP mode – pressing and holding the foot-pedal lets you hold the

whole group of audio layers currently active.

For example – you can use a medium TAIL Setting to create a quick three note

arpeggio and then just continue holding all three layers by keeping the foot-pedal

pressed down.

SUSTAIN

SUSTAIN is a special knob that changes its functionality when you switch from

Single mode to Group mode.

In SINGLE mode – the SUSTAIN knob allows you to control the behavior of the

hold-function (while the foot-pedal is pressed down).

When set to minimum, it will emulate the natural decaying properties of a ringing

string – gradual reduction of high frequencies. In our experience, this is incredibly

useful when playing jazz, blues, and classical music.

Whereas when set to

completely static for as long as the foot-pedal is pressed down, without applying

any frequency filters.

In GROUP mode – the SUSTAIN knob allows you to reduce the number of layers

allowed simultaneously – you can choose from 1 to 5 layers (see drawing below).

That means – Even if you are playing with a long TAIL – setting the SUSTAIN knob to

minimum will limit the maximum number of sustained sounds/layers to just 1 single

layer. This is indicated by the main LED, which will produce a single flash when the

SUSTAIN knob is turned all the way down.

If you'd like to use two circular layers, turn the SUSTAIN knob to around 10 o'clock

until you see two quick flashes, and so on..

*Any tone and dynamics settings achieved with the SUSTAIN knob in the SINGLE mode will be

applied to all layers in the GROUP mode.

Here the PLUS Pedal will be

limited to only one sustain layer.

Even if TAIL is turned to max -

you will not be able to create

overlapping layers.

the SUSTAIN knob will keep the sustained note/chord

Now there are up to 5 layers of sustain

available - just as in SINGLE mode, but keep in

mind that in GROUP mode - holding down the

footpedal will keep all active layers sustained,

as opposed to just the most recent one..
