This page holds the information on how to use the Settings menu on your MOD Duo X.

Updated for the MOD OS version 1.13

Overview

These are the Settings you can access and control directly in your device, even when you are disconnected from your computer:

DUOX-Settings Banks.png

  • Banks: Navigate your Banks of pedalboards
  • Current Pedalboard: Restore default state or save a new state for the current pedalboard
  • Hardware Bypass: Control hardware bypass
  • Tempo & Transport: Control Tempo & Transport settings
  • Tuner: Access tuner and configure whether it should mute the outputs or not
  • User profiles: Manage User Profiles
  • System: Access system-wide settings and information such as inputs and outputs gains, Bluetooth configuration and more

Accessing and navigating the Settings Menu

Press and hold the left endless knob to open the Settings Menu.

On the left screen you will see the main menu. The right screen will display the sub-menu related to the current item selected on the main menu.

Settings HardwareBypass.png
HardwareBypass.png

Scroll the options in the main menu by rotating the left knob. Some options have a toggle indicator that can be triggered by quick-pressing the left knob. These options have a "[ ]" or "[x]" indicating the state of the toggle. For example, the Hardware Bypass can be turned on or off by pressing the left knob.

Scroll the sub-options using the right knob. Quick press the right knob to access a third level menu or to just turn on and off the selected option.

Press and hold the left knob again to exit the Settings Menu.

Banks

DUOX-Settings Banks.png

Note: You can only access this menu when you are disconnected from your computer.

The MOD Duo X comes with many pedalboards ready to be used. They are organized in banks and can be accessed via Banks menu.

Place the selector on the left screen over the Banks option and navigate in the right screen between the Banks.

Press the right knob to enter a bank and navigate its pedalboards. Once you enter a bank, you will see a list of all Pedalboards inside the bank.

DUOX-Settings Banks.png
DUOX-Banks-AllPedalboards.png

Press the right knob again to select and activate a pedalboard.

You can organize your banks anyway you want using the Web GUI interface.

Current Pedalboard

DUOX-Settings CurrentPedalboard.png
DUOX-CurrentPedalboard.png

This option allows you to restore the pedalboard to its default state or overwrite it with the current state.

Selecting the "Reset state" option on the right screen will discard any changes you have made to any parameter of any plugin and restore the pedalboard's state to the last time it was saved.

Selecting the "Save state" option on the right screen will save the current state of all parameters from all plugins. Next time you load the pedalboard or choose the "Reset state" option, the pedalboard will return to this state.

Note: You can only access these settings when you are disconnected from your computer.

Hardware Bypass

Settings HardwareBypass.png
HardwareBypass.png

The MOD Duo X has a true bypass circuit for each pair of input/output. This allows you to physically connect input 1 to output 1, and input 2 to output 2. The true bypass is enabled when the device is off and it is automatically disabled after the current pedalboard is loaded.

This option allows you to quickly activate the Hardware bypass to both channels or independently bypass each channel.

Quick bypass

Quickly press the left knob to quickly turn Bypass on and off. On the left screen, you will see "Bypass [ ]" indicating that the bypass is off or "Bypass [x]" indicating that the bypass is on.

Hardware Bypass options

On the right screen, you can turn bypass on and off independently for channels 1 and 2 or for both.

You can also change the behavior of the "Quick bypass" by changing the last option called "Quick Bypass Channel(s)". You can set it so "Quick bypass" will bypass both channels (default) or only one of the two channels.

Tempo & Transport

DUOX-Settings TempoTransport.png
DUOX-TempoTransport.png

With the 'Tempo & Transport' menu selected push the left endless knob to activate or deactivate the transport. In other works, this works as if you were pressing play on your DAW.

On the right screen you can see and edit both the tempo (in bpm) and the time signature (beats per bar). The count is always done in quarter notes.

To edit both the 'Tempo' and the 'Beats per bar' simply select them, push the right endless knob and turn it.

Tuner

DUOX-Settings Tuner.png
DUOX-Tuner.png

This option allows you to tune your instrument. Both inputs can be used as the tuner input, to select between them short short-press the right endless knob.

If you see a question mark on the tuner screen, it means the device is not receiving any input or the input levels are too low.

Choosing whether the tuner should mute the outputs when activated:

In the settings menu, there is an indicator "Mute [x]" that you can toggle to mute your outputs or not while tuning. Press the left knob to change this value.

User Profiles

DUO-Settings UserProfiles.png


User Profiles allow you to switch between pre-configured device settings.

Say you use your device sometimes to play with your guitar and microphone, in the studio, and sometimes with a synth in a live performance. For each situation, you might need to have different Input and Output gains and volume settings. So a user profile can be used to quickly switch between setups.

The settings that can be stored in a User Profile are:

  • Input settings: Everything under System > Inputs
  • Output settings: Everything under System > Outputs
  • Sync and MIDI settings: Everything under System > Sync and MIDI

Factory User Profiles

The factory user profiles have the following characteristics:

A: line level input

  • Inputs
    • On this profile the 'Stereo Link' function is active and both input gains are at 10%. This is ideal to connect line level inputs (for example audio from your phone or computer soundcard).
    • The 'CV / EXP Input' is set to be a CV input and the 'EXP Mode' is as 'Signal on ring'.
  • Outputs
    • The 'Stereo Link' for the outputs of this profile is also active and both outputs volume is at 100% (maximum).
    • The headphone volume is set on 60%
    • The 'CV / HP Output' is set to be have your headphones connected.
    • Last, the 'Master Volume Link' is set to be the same on both output channels.
  • Sync & MIDI
    • 'Clock Source' is internal and the 'Send MIDI Clock' is not active.
    • Both the 'Snapshots Nav MIDI Chan' and the 'Pedalboard Nav MIDI Chan' are OFF.


B: line level input + CV I/O enabled

  • Inputs
    • This profile has the 'Stereo Link' function active and both input gains are at 10%. This is ideal to connect line level inputs (for example audio from your phone or computer soundcard).
    • The 'CV / EXP Input' is set to be a CV input and the 'EXP Mode' is as 'Signal on ring'.
  • Outputs
    • The 'Stereo Link' for the outputs of this profile is also active and both outputs volume is at 100% (maximum).
    • The headphone volume is set on 60%
    • The 'CV / HP Output' is set to be have your CV Output. This allows you to send CV messages from your MOD Duo X to other devices able to receive it.
    • Last, the 'Master Volume Link' is set to be the same on both output channels.
  • Sync & MIDI
    • 'Clock Source' is internal and the 'Send MIDI Clock' is not active.
    • Both the 'Snapshots Nav MIDI Chan' and the 'Pedalboard Nav MIDI Chan' are OFF.

C: mic level input

  • Inputs
    • This profile has the 'Stereo Link' function not active. The input 2 is with no gain and the input 1 with 70%. This is a gain level ideal to connect a mono microphone to your input 1.
    • The 'CV / EXP Input' is set to be a CV input and the 'EXP Mode' is as 'Signal on ring'.
  • Outputs
    • The 'Stereo Link' for the outputs of this profile is also active and both outputs volume is at 100% (maximum).
    • The headphone volume is set on 60%
    • The 'CV / HP Output' is set to be have your headphones connected.
    • The 'Master Volume Link' is set to be the same on both output channels.
  • Sync & MIDI

I/O Processing

MDX IO-Processing.png

On this menu, you can activate and set up some input and output processing settings on a device basis.

These settings are independent of your pedalboards and, when active, will be applied on top of your pedalboard effects chain.

You have the following settings available:

Noisegate Channel: allows you to activate a noise gate either right after the input 1, the input 2 or both. By selecting "none", the noisegate will remain deactivated.

Noisegate Threshold: allows you to define the threshold level (in dB) of your input noisegate.

Noisegate Decay: allows you to define the decay level (in milliseconds) of your input noisegate.

Compressor Mode: here you can activate a compressor right before the output of your MOD Duo X. For this compressor, you have 4 different modes: Off, Light, Mild and Heavy.

  • Off: the compressor will remain deactivated
  • Light: there will be a light compression applied to the output
  • Mild: there will be a mild compression applied to the output
  • Heavy: there will be a heavy compression applied to the output

Compressor Release: allows you to define the release level (in milliseconds) of your input compressor.

Pedalboard Gain: here you can select a general gain level applied to all your pedalboards. That's a different type of gain than the output gain of your MOD Duo X

Sync & MIDI

DUO-Settings System.png
DUOX-System-SyncMIDI.png

Clock Source

This option allows you to select the Clock source on your device.

The Clock Source can be either Internal, MIDI, or Ableton Link.

Send MIDI Clock

Here you can define if your MOD Duo X will send a MIDI Clock signal to other devices via the MIDI Output port and also the USB-B port (when the USB-Mode is defined as Net+MIDI on the Device Settings menu)

SHAPSHOT NAV MIDI CHAN

Here, you can set the MIDI channel to be used with an external controller to change the snapshots saved on your loaded pedalboard.

If the channel is set to anything except OFF, the device will listen for Program Change messages on the selected channel. The incoming message value will be used as the index of the snapshot to load from the pedalboard. This means that if PC 1 is issued, the first snapshot will be loaded, if PC 2 is received, the second snapshot will be loaded, and so on.

PEDALBOARD NAV MIDI CHN

Here, you can set the MIDI channel to be used with an external controller to change the pedalboard.

If the channel is set to anything except OFF, the device will listen for Program Change messages on the selected channel. The incoming message value will be used as the index of the pedalboard to load from the current bank. This means that if PC 1 is issued, the first pedalboard will be loaded, if PC 2 is received, the second pedalboard will be loaded, and so on. Pedalboards can be reordered using the Web interface.

Please note: This feature is only available when you do not have the WebGUI in your computer (or any other device) open. In case you have the WebGUI open, the MIDI Program Change message that you define in this menu won't have any effect.

Bluetooth

DUO-Settings System.png

DUOX-System-DeviceSettings.png

USB-B Mode

Allows you to define the behaviour of the USB-B port of your MOD Duo X.

  • Network (Default): The port works as a network device, so you can access the WebGUI.
  • Net+MIDI: The port works as a network device, so you can access the WebGUI. Simultaneously, the device sends MIDI messages via this port and therefore, is also recognized as a MIDI interface.
  • Net+MIDI (Windows): The port works as a network device, so you can access the WebGUI. Simultaneously, the device sends MIDI messages via this port and therefore, is also recognized as a MIDI interface. Special mode to use when the host device is a Windows computer.

Display Brightness

Press the right endless knob to change the LCD display's brightness. Each click will change between the available options:

  • 0% (off)
  • 25%
  • 50%
  • 75%
  • 100%

You should adjust this value accordingly to your environment and to your viewing angle. Flat viewing angles may require higher brightness settings and vice versa.

Display Contrast Left & Right

On the MOD Duo X you can adjust the contrast values for each screen independently.

Press the right endless knob and then rotate it to change the LCD display's contrast.

Once you've finished adjusting, press the right knob again to save the new value.

You should always adjust this value according to the environment and the position of the device in your setup.

Unassigned Actuators

Press the right endless knob to define if the unassigned actuators should be shown or hided on your screens.

These are the physical actuators that are not assigned to any parameter in your current pedalboard and also for the page that you have selected. Check more on Switching Pages.

Knob Mode

Press the right endless knob to select between "Grab" and "Direct".

Grab: on Grab mode your knobs just start acting after you pass the value that they were previously set. This happens mainly when you change pages, load new pedalboards or snapshots.

With this mode on you will see a little "+" signal in the middle of the representative knob in your screen. This signal will disappear as soon as you reach the value previously set.

Direct: on Direct mode the knobs will start immediately working. Pay attention because this may cause you "jumps" and unpredictable peaks in your sound.

Let's say that you have a cutoff filter totally closed on the preset and your physical knob is on maximum. As soon as you touch this knob, your cutoff filter will jump from totally closed to almost totally open.

Pages Mode

By pushing the right endless knob, you will switch the Page Mode between:

1 Button: only the center button will switch between the pages.

3 Buttons: each of the 3 buttons will select a single page, accordingly.

Note: with the 3 Buttons option activated, you will not be able to quickly create and recall snapshots (more info about the Instant Snapshots function here).

LED Brightness

On the MOD Duo X, you can define how bright the LEDs are on the device (those under the page buttons or to monitor the input and output levels). There are three levels available: Low, Mid and High. Push the right endless knob to cycle between them.

This feature helps you set the MOD Duo X to fit the best for the environment where you are using it.

Pot Calibration Mode

This mode is used to recalibrate the 8 analog knobs on the MOD Duo X.

If you push the right endless knob while selecting this menu, you will see the following screen:

DUOX-System-PotCalibrationMode.png


By clicking 'Yes' you will get the following screens:

DUOX-CalibrationMode Knob1.png
