ALPHA·OMEGA PHOTON: USER GUIDE

This mode prevents any accidental parameter 

changes or edits to your presets. You can still change 

between the saved presets A, B, and C, and enter the 

tuner or bypass modes, but potentiometer updates, 

slider touches, or encoder rotations will not respond 

to any changes. 

Tip

: 

Enter the performance mode after the 

soundcheck while playing live gigs.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING 

To begin Bluetooth pairing with the Alpha·Omega 

Photon, press and hold an encoder while 

simultaneously  rotating  the  encoder.  The  five  LEDs 

under each encoder will illuminate one-by-one, 

and  pairing  will  begin  when  all  five  are  lit.  Look  for 

“Alpha·Omega Photon” on your list of available 

bluetooth devices.

THE ALPHA·OMEGA PHOTON 

AS A USB AUDIO INTERFACE

Whatever  your  DAW  of  choice  is,  it’s  compatible 

with the Alpha·Omega Photon. You can record your 

processed signal to one track and simultaneously 

record an unprocessed copy to another track. 

Recording a stereo track at the same time from the 

Aux input is also possible. 

The Alpha·Omega Photon supports 48 kHz and 44.1 

kHz sampling rates.

SETTING UP THE DRIVERS 

If you are using a Mac, no additional drivers are 

required to use the Alpha·Omega Photon as an audio 

interface.

USB ROUTING

· Output 1: Balanced left + Headphone left

· Output 2: Balanced right + Headphone right

· Output 3: Balanced left

· Output 4: Balanced right

· Output 5: XLR DI (mono)
