The RP100 Artist lets you create your own Presets, or fine tune existing Presets to suit your needs. When creating or editing a sound, you must first start with one of the User or Factory Presets. It is not possible to start with a completely empty Preset. The Preset number does not necessarily need to be the location which you intend to have it reside, as you can save your creation to any User Preset location during the store process. Use the Footswitches to select a Preset which will be your starting point. Once you have found a Preset that you wish to edit, press the Select button once. This will take you into the Editing mode. Use the Select button is in conjunction with the Matrix to choose the effect you wish to edit. Use the 3 Knobs to change parameter values to achieve the desired sound you want. 12 The Matrix The Matrix is where all Effects and Parameters are selected for editing. In Edit mode, successive presses of the Select button will advance to the next Effect row. The LED will light indicating which Effect group has been selected. Each Effect will have up to 3 Parameters which can be modified. The Knob under each column of Parameters is used to change the value for the corresponding Parameter of the selected Effect. As a Knob is rotated, the Parameter value or status will be shown in the Display. When the stored value of a Parameter is changed, the Store LED will light indicating that you need to store the changes. Changing Presets, or turning the power off before storing any changes will erase any changes made and revert to the stored values for the Preset. 13 Storing/Copying a Preset Once the Preset has been modified to your liking, you may store your settings to any of the 40 User Preset locations (Presets 1-40).
