3) MIDI CHANNEL#s: The display "CHnn" (where "nn" is the channel# associated with a particular MIDI event) shows the channel# as a 1-origin number. A MIDI event with a channel# value of 2 will display as "CH03"!

4) If, while in MEM mode, the unit is enabled to respond to PROGRAM CHANGE events

(and those events occur on the same channel on which the unit is listening) and such an event occurs which causes the unit to switch to a preset that has the

SAMPLER effect, a message may display for a few moments indicating that the

SAMPLER is RECORD-READY. When this message (or others) is finished, the display will return to the most recent event and display mode.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

About the Presets

The first 30 presets in the MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0 show off some of the many capabilities of the device. These patches include general purpose reverbs, reverb for mixdown, an automatic tuner, multiple pitch effects, vocal delay, enhancers, and sampling, chorus, flange, phasing and other special effects. After that you will find variations for different type sounds and effects. Some presets are set up for instant use with the ART X-15 ULTRAFOOT MIDI Controller. Use the X-15 to control certain parameters in the preset. We encourage you to take the time to listen to all the presets just so you can get a feel for the sounds and effects your MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0 is capable of producing.

Battery Backup

When power is terminated to the MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0, the edited MPT as well as the last preset used and the MIDI Channel will be active when the unit is next powered up. Memory retention is expected to last four years. Should you encounter memory loss, contact our service department.

Low Battery Indicator

The life of the internal lithium battery is approximately four years. If you see the right decimal point illuminated in the seven segment display, it is indicating the voltage of the lithium battery is low.

Software Revision Level

There is a way to correctly identify the software version residing in the unit.

While in Edit Mode, press the Utility button, then press the Param button. Turn the Encoder until the current version as well as the date is displayed in the

LCD. The MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0's software is contained in a socketed EPROM and is field replaceable. This software controls the MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0's functions as well as its sounds.
