CREATING & STORING SOUNDS: USING THE CHANNEL PROGRAM MEMORIES
CREATING & STORING SOUNDS
USING THE MANUAL MODE FEATURES
When you are using your POD in Manual Mode, all of the controls are active and
the sound of POD always re�ects the knob settings. Sounds just like any ordinary
bass amp or pedal, doesnOt it? Who says technology is threatening? You know
youOre in Manual Mode, by the way, whenever the Manual button 6 is lit (but
you probably already Ţgured out that part). Play with the knobs until you get a
sound that you really like. At this point, you can either follow tradition and put
tiny little pieces of tape on POD or mess it all up with grease pencil to mark your
favorite settings, or you can take a bold step into new technology and save your
sound to one of PODOs memory locations. Which weOre about to tell you how to do
in the next section of the manual, appropriately titled�
7 Y 1
USING THE CHANNEL PROGRAM MEMORIES
So, there you are with a sound that you really like � wouldnOt it be nice to be able
to call it up any time you want it? ThatOs simple once you have it stored into one of
the 36 POD channel memory locations. How do you do it? Just press the Save
button 18. It will start to �ash. Press the Up and Down 7 buttons and you will
see that you are switching through memory locations A, B, C, and D in each of
PODOs nine numbered banks. Pick one to store your sound in, and press that Save
button a second time. The light will stop �ashing, and the sound is stored at the
location you chose, replacing the sound that was stored there before. DoesnOt get
much simpler than that. After the sound is stored, you can bring it back any old
time by simply pressing the Up and Down buttons to call up the location where
you stored it. (See Chapter 7 to learn how to do all this with your feet on the
Floor Board). If you decide that you donOt want to store the sound after youOve got
all the lights blinking, pressing the Manual or Tuner or MIDI buttons will
abandon the save. (Save mode will also be canceled if you donOt press any buttons
for 5 seconds after having pressed Save.) |
