H – Interface Panel
The Interface Panel is located on a far left of the instrument. The Interface Panel provides a status display
and controls for all of the Little Phatty’s software functions and instrument settings.
The status display is an LCD screen located in the center
of the panel above the section controls. When the LP is
fi rst powered on, the screen will display the message:
Little Phatty
Version X.x
The message will stay on the screen for a few seconds,
and then the screen will display the active preset. This
preset will be the last preset in use when the Little Phatty
was powered down.
Section Controls:
Master:
Pressing the
MASTER
switch places you in Master mode. In this mode, the
VALUE
knob is used to scroll
through the Master mode menus for the Little Phatty. For a list of the Master mode menus, see page 25.
Preset:
Pressing the
PRESET
switch places you in Preset mode. In this mode, the
VALUE
knob is used to select the
preset. The
PRESET
switch also functions as ‘compare’ button, allowing you to toggle between stored and
edited presets. For more on Preset Mode, see page 23.
Value:
The
VALUE
knob is a continuous rotary encoder used to access menus and options, and select presets.
Depending on the selected parameter, the
VALUE
knob will adjust numeric values UP or DOWN, or toggle
amongst discrete options. The encoder has a built-in push button (called the
VALUE
switch) that is used to
advance through the presets in Performance Sets and for stepping though Master menu.
This also is used
for stepping through values (presets, master mode values). When naming a preset, the
VALUE
switch acts
as a backspace control.
Cursor:
The
CURSOR
switch is used to navigate around the display. In Master mode, the cursor is used to advance
through the parameters in the display, allowing you to make edits and changes. In Preset Mode, the cursor
is used to step through each of the thirteen character positions in the preset name (for the naming opera-
tion). Press
CURSOR
to get into cursor mode, and press
MASTER
or
PRESET
to exit cursor mode.
Enter/Store:
The
ENTER/STORE
button is used to enter changes and store edited presets in PRESET mode and to
execute SysEx and System Utility functions in MASTER mode.
