The T3 has two operating modes: Master and Preset.
• Master mode allows you to access and change global parameters and other utility options.
A complete list of the Master mode functions and parameters is shown on page 30.
• Preset mode allows you to access the presets and manipulate the sound from the front panel
controls. Preset mode is the main operating mode for editing and playing the T3. Information
on Preset mode is found on page 28.
When the T3 is powered on, it starts up in Preset mode. In this
mode, Presets are selected using the VALUE encoder, the PRESET
access footswitches, or the BANK footswitch in combination with
the footpedals (see Selecting Presets, page 26). In Preset mode,
you’ll see the current Preset displayed on the top line of the LCD
display, and the Active Parameter displayed on the lower line.
The PRESET button is illuminated in AMBER. When you modify
a Preset, the PRESET button changes from AMBER to RED, and
an asterisk (‘*’) appears beside the Preset name, indicating that
you have edited the sound. You can toggle between the stored
(unmodified) Preset and the edited Preset simply by pressing the
PRESET button (this acts a Compare function). Note that any
edits made to a Preset must be saved prior to selecting a new
Preset, or those edits will be lost (for more, see Storing Presets,
page 29).
Editing Presets
In Preset Mode, Presets can be edited either by using either the CONTROL footwheel or the VALUE
encoder. Either of these controls will modify the Active Parameter. The Active Parameter is always displayed
on the bottom line of the LCD display; it is also indicated by a corresponding panel switch that is illuminated
when that parameter is active. The following front panel parameters can act as Active Parameters:

Moving the CONTROL footwheel changes the value of the Active Parameter. The change in value is up-
dated on the LCD display as well as the LED bargraph.
To edit with the VALUE encoder, press the CURSOR button to move the cursor to the bottom line of the
display, then rotate the VALUE knob in the desired direction. The displayed value will change by +/-1 per
click. When editing 12-bit parameter values (0 - 4095), you can advance the value +/-10 by pressing the
VALUE pushswitch while turning the knob.
