Banks
Current Pedalboard
SCREENSHOT -> Current pedalboard menu
This option allows you to restore the default state of the pedalboard, or to override it with the current state.
Selecting the "Restore default" option on the right screen will discard any changes you might have made to any parameter of any plugin and restore the state of the pedalboard as it was the last time it was saved.
Selecting the "Save state" option on the right screen will save the current state of all parameters of all plugins. Next time you load the pedalboard or choose the "Restore default" option, the pedalboard will go back to this state.
Note: You can only access these setting when you are disconnected from your computer.
Hardware Bypass
SCREENSHOT -> Hardware bypass (both screens)
Both MOD Duo and MOD Duo X have 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
Quick press 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-hand 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
SCREENSHOT -> Tempo & Transport (both screens)
Tuner
SCREENSHOT -> Tuner (both screens)
Note: You can quickly access the Tuner by pressing and holding the right-hand knob any time.
This option allows you to tune your instrument. Both inputs can be used as the tuner input, to select between them short press the right knob.
If you see a question mark on the tuner screen, it means the MOD Duo is not receiving any input.
Choosing whether the tuner should mute the outputs when activated.
In the main menu there is an indicator "Mute [x]" that you can toggle to mute your outputs or not when tuning. Short press the left knob to change this value.
When you quick access the Tuner by pressing and holding the right knob, you have to press and hold the same knob again to exit.
User Profiles
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
TODO: Describe here the default User profiles that come pre-configured from the factory. What are the values and what are they for.
Switching between User Profiles
On the left screen, navigate to the "User Profiles" menu. On the right screen, the 4 User profiles (A, B, C, and D) will be displayed. The current selected user profile will be marked with a checkbox "[x]".
SCREENSHOT -> User Profiles menu (both screen)
With the right knob, navigate through the profiles and short press the knob to select the profile you want. Confirm the change.
SCREENSHOT -> change profile confirmation screen
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.
- Sitch to the profile you want to overwite
- Navigate to System Settings and change values for Input, Output and Sync an MIDI settings
- Navigate back to the User Profiles menu
- On the right screen, select the "Overwrite Current Profile" option
- Short press the right knob to select this option and confirm
