CHAIN MODE
In live performance, you will need to have easy access to your various
programmed presets. In Chain Mode, your ZETA SYNTHONY II offers
you the ability to “chain” presets together in a series that you can quickly
and easily recall in the order that you need them for your performance.
Most people think of a “chain” as being another term for a “song” and a
“step” as one of the sounds that you use within a song. For instance, if you
used three different sounds within one song, you could set them as Chain 1,
Step 1; Chain 1, Step 2; and Chain 1, Step 3. The second song would then
be Chain 2 with several steps within that chain.
UNDERSTANDING THE DISPLAY
When you access the Chain mode, the top, right number will be
highlighted. This number represents the Chain. By pressing the
Par and - buttons, you can highlight the lower, right number.
This is the Step within the selected Chain. The lower, left number is
the Preset sound that you are accessing. (This is the number that relates
back to the “Preset Mode.”) The upper left number is simply part of the
factory name for the Chains before you create your own name (ie. No
Name 1, No Name 2, No Name 3, etc.)
You can store up to 32 “chains”, each containing up to 32 “steps”. Using
the Value + or - buttons, you can toggle through the “chains” when the
upper right number is highlighted. This is the only way to toggle through
your Chains. You can toggle through you presets in two different ways.
While the upper right number (Chain) is highlighted, with a footpedal
plugged into the “Chain” jack in the back of your ZETA SYNTHONY II,
you can access the different Steps within the highlighted Chain. Pressing
the pedal once moves to the next step in the chain, pressing it twice
quickly moves to the previous step. You can also access the different
steps by pressing the Par button, highlighting the “Step” number.
Then the Value + and – buttons will access the different steps.
Remember, you can only change the Chain by accessing the front of your
ZETA SYNTHONY II. The Steps, however may be changed from the
Footswitch.
When displaying or entering new chains, the initial Chain
Display screen lists the following information:
