The MOD Dwarf when powered up

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

Overview

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

Dwarf SettingsMenu.png
  • Audio Inputs: set up your input gain values
  • Input Processing: setup the input processing settings of your device
  • Audio Outputs: set up your output gain values
  • Headphone Output: set up the volume of your headphones (volume of headphones output)
  • Output Processing: setup the output processing settings of your device
  • Sync: setup your sync settings
  • MIDI: setup your MIDI settings
  • User Profiles: load and save your different user profile settings
  • Display & LEDS: setup the appearance of your device screen and LEDs brightness
  • Appearance: setup the appearance of your device screen on playing mode
  • System Behavior: setup the USB-B Mode and Compensate Ground Loop feature
  • Controller Behavior: setup the default tool and the menu button mode
  • Menu Items: define the Menu Items that appear when you push the Menu Button
  • Bluetooth: this menu allows you to enable Bluetooth discovery and shows information regarding the Bluetooth connection.
  • Info: this menu shows you information regarding your MOD Dwarf
  • System Upgrade: Upgrade the operative system of your MOD Dwarf

To navigate between the items on the list of settings you should turn the left most encoder to right (going down the list) or to the left (going up on the list). To access an item menu on this list you should push the "Enter button (leftmost button pad) or you can simply push the same encoder that you use to navigate on the list.

To exit this menu you should push the "Exit" button (middle button pad). If you prefer you can also push the central endless knob.

Accessing and navigating the Settings Menu

Push the Menu Button on your Dwarf. This will open a screen with your defined Menu Items.

Note: you can define the mode of the Menu Button (between latching and momentary) on the Behaviour Settings. By default, the Menu Button mode is latching.

Audio Inputs

Dwarf AudioInputsMenu.png

On this menu, you can adjust your Input Gain levels.

Turn the left-most encoder of your MOD Dwarf to adjust both of the input gains simultaneously.

Turn the central encoder of your MOD Dwarf to adjust only the input 1 gain level.

Turn the right-most encoder of your MOD Dwarf to adjust only the input 2 gain level.

Notes:

  • if you push the encoder while you turn it will allow you to increase or decrease values faster;
  • simply turn the knobs to fine adjust the values;
  • push and turn the knobs to apply less precise adjustments.

Input Processing

Dwarf InputProcessingMenu.png

The MOD Dwarf has a built-in Noise Gate on the input section of the device.

You can set this noise gate to work on every single input or in both simultaneously. If you wish to not use it, select "None" on the channel.

Besides the input channel, you can also set up the threshold and the decay of the noise gate.

Audio Outputs

Dwarf AudioOutputsMenu.png


On this menu, you can adjust the Output Gain levels of your MOD Dwarf.

Turn the left-most encoder of your MOD Dwarf to adjust both of the output gains simultaneously.

Turn the central encoder of your MOD Dwarf to adjust only the output 1 gain level.

Turn the right-most encoder of your MOD Dwarf to adjust only the output 2 gain level.


Notes: the same encoder techniques as for the input controls apply to the output settings

  • if you push the encoder while you turn it will allow you to increase or decrease values faster;
  • simply turn the knobs to fine adjust the values;
  • push and turn the knobs to apply less precise adjustments.

Headphone Output

Dwarf HeaphonesOutputMenu.png


This menu allows you to adjust the headphone output volume on your MOD Dwarf.

Output Processing

Dwarf OutputProcessingMenu.png

The MOD Dwarf has a built-in Compressor on the output section of the device.

This compressor has 3 modes: light compression, mild compression, and heavy compression. To turn the compressor off select "Off" on the Compressor Mode.

Besides the mode, you can also set up the release of the compressor.

On this menu, you can also define your pedalboard out gain. This is the last digital control to the gain before your signal transforms into an analog signal.

Sync

Dwarf SyncMenu.png

In this menu, you can select your Clock Source and set your MOD Dwarf to send a clock signal.

You can set the Clock Source to be Internal, over MIDI port or Ableton Link.

MIDI

Dwarf MIDIMenu.png

On this menu, you can define MIDI settings for your MOD Dwarf.

Here you can define the MIDI Program Change Channel used to change your pedalboards and snapshots if you define any.

User Profiles

Dwarf UserProfilesMenu.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 Audio Inputs
  • Output settings: Everything under Audio Outputs
  • Sync settings: Everything under Sync
  • MIDI settings: Everything under MIDI


Switching between User Profiles

To switch between users' profiles you simply need to turn the left most endless knob. This will allow you to swipe between all the user profiles. To validate the selection you should click the knob while the new User Profile shows us up to you.

Saving a new User Profile

You can have up to four User Profiles. The first step to save a new user profile is to choose which from these four profiles will be overwritten. You do that by turning the central endless knob.

Before saving you must:

  1. Navigate to System Settings and change values for Input, Output, and Sync and MIDI settings
  2. Navigate back to the User Profiles menu

After selecting the profile that you want to change, click the central endless knob to confirm it.

Display & LEDs
