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 in your device, even when you are disconnected from your computer:

(Image of MOD Dwarf settings menu)

  • Audio Inputs: setup your input gain values
  • Audio Outputs: setup your output gain values
  • Headphone Output: setup the volume of your headphones (volume of headphones output)
  • Sync: setup your sync settings
  • MIDI: setup your MIDI settings
  • User Profiles: load and save your different user profiles settings
  • Device Settings (1/2): setup the appearance of your device
  • Device Settings (2/2): setup the appearance of your device, tools, and USB behavior
  • Quick Items: define the Quick Items that appear when you push the Menu Button
  • 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).

Accessing and navigating the Settings Menu

Press and hold the Menu Button on your Dwarf. This will open a screen with your defined Quick Items.

(image of Quick items menu)

While on this screen, push the left-most pad button to access your MOD Dwarf settings.

In this menu, you can select your Clock Source and define your MOD Dwarf to send a clock signal. You can set the Clock Source to be Internal, over MIDI port or Ableton Link.

MIDI

(replace with image bellow with image of MIDI menu on the Dwarf)

DUOX-Settings Tuner.png
DUOX-Tuner.png

On this menu, you can define MIDI settings for your MOD Dwarf. This menu allows you to define the MIDI Program Change Channel used to change your pedalboards and snapshots if you define any.

User Profiles

(replace with image bellow with image of User Profiles menu on the Dwarf)

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


Switching between User Profiles

To switch between users profile 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.

(image showing this)

DUOX-UserProfiles.png


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 an 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.
