[. . . ] Operation Manual Thank you for selecting the ZOOM 507 (hereafter simply called the "507"). Please take the time to read this manual carefully so you can get the most out of your 507 and ensure optimum performance and reliability. Retain this manual for future reference. ZOOM CORPORATION NOAH Bldg. , 2-10-2, Miyanishi-cho, Fuchu-shi, Tokyo 183, Japan PHONE: 0423-69-7116 FAX: 0423-69-7115 Printed in Japan 507-5000 1 Major Features · High-grade reverb of top class devices despite compact size; delay with 990 ms maximum delay time; and outstanding spatial effects that produce a beautiful chorus sound at an affordable price. [. . . ] When Direct Load is off, pressing the patch UP pedal will change the number on the display (the number flashes), but until the user confirms the choice, the sound remains that of patch 1. To turn Direct Load on or off, keep the STORE key depressed for at least 1 second. To confirm a choice after selecting a patch with Direct Load off, press both patch pedals simultaneously. Example: Switching from patch 1 to patch 4 BA NK DO WN PATCH DOWN UP BANK HOLD OFF Bank switching Banks A, b, C, d, E, F can be switched. PATCH UP Patch switching Patches can be switched. Confirming a patch When display indication flashes, pressing both patch pedals together confirms the patch and switches the output sound. Press both pedals together Patch switching completed Confirm 11 Editing Patches The 507 comes with 24 predefined patches. However, the 507 offers many more possibilities for combining effects in innovative ways. To discover these possibilities, we recommend that you try changing the parameters (elements that make up patches) to create your own patches. This operation is called editing, and is done in the Edit mode. To switch from normal Play mode to Edit mode, press the EDIT key briefly (for less than 1 second). * Note that if the EDIT key is held down for 1 second or longer, the Bank Hold mode will be activated. The correlations between parameter cursor LEDs and parameters are shown below. The asterisked parameters are effective only when the DLY+REV reverb type has been selected as the parameter at the highest (first) position. · 1st parameter cursor LED: Reverb type selection · 2nd parameter cursor LED:Reverb time/delay time (*) setting · 3rd parameter cursor LED: Reverb tone/delay feedback (*) setting · 4th parameter cursor LED: Reverb/delay + reverb (*) mix setting · 5th parameter cursor LED: Chorus module setting Immediately after switching from Play mode to Edit mode, the parameter indicator of the currently selected Reverb type (HALL, ROOM, PLATE, DLY+REV) flashes, and the setting for that parameter is displayed. This means that the Reverb type parameter has been selected for editing. (1) While still in Play mode, select the patch you wish to edit. (2) Press the EDIT key to activate the Edit mode. Use the VALUE +/- keys to change parameters. For an explanation of the various parameters, see 12 Effect Parameters. When the EDIT key is pressed while the fifth parameter cursor LED flashes, Edit mode is canceled and the unit returns to Play mode. In Edit mode, the EDIT key is used for selecting the parameter for editing. Each time the EDIT key is pressed the parameter cursor moves one position down. The flashing position shows which parameter is selected for editing. (1) Use the EDIT key or patch pedal to select the parameter you wish to change. (2) Use the VALUE +/- keys to adjust the parameter. (3) While the eighth parameter cursor LED is flashing, press the EDIT key to return to Play mode. 12 Effect Parameters PARAMETER 1 Selects the reverb type for the REVERB/DLY+REV module. Four types can be selected for each of HALL, ROOM PLATE and DELAY+REVERB, for a total of 16 types. Range of setting H1 Reverb type ­ H4 , r1 ­ r4 , 1 ­ 4 , 1 ­ 4 By pressing either the + or - key, the preceding or following reverb type can be selected. By pressing both + and - keys simultaneously, selection moves to the first effect type of the next group. The features of the types are as follows: HALL 1-4 ROOM 1-4 PLATE 1-4 DELAY+REVERB effect types H1 ­ H4 r1 ­ r4 1 ­ 4 1 ­ 4 Effect types combining delay (echo effect) and reverb (reverberation effect). * When this effect type is selected, the contents of parameters 2-4 change. Reverb simulating the acoustics of a hall. Reverb simulating the acoustics of a room. Reverb simulating the acoustics of a metal plate. PARAMETER 2 When a HALL, ROOM, or PLATE reverb type has been selected Sets the reverb time (length of reverb). When a DELAY+REVERB reverb type has been selected Sets the delay time in 10 ms steps (gap between the original sound and delay sound, and between delay sounds). Range of setting Reverb time/delay time 1 £ 30 The larger the value, the longer the reverb time. The value changes in increments or decrements of 1 each time the + or - key is pressed. When the +/- keys are pressed simultaneously, the value changes in tens--10, 20, 30, etc. Range of setting 1 £ 99 The larger the value, the longer the gap between the original sound and the delay sound, and between the delay sounds. The value changes in increments or decrements of 1 each time the + or - key is pressed. [. . . ] Connect the battery cable to the new battery, taking care to observe correct polarity (+/-). Then insert the battery into the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment cover, taking care not to pinch the cable.
