Write —
Use W
RITE
to save an edited program or combo to any of Tetra’s
memory locations. To execute the write operation, press the increment (+)
button.
To store a program or combo in a different location, press the W
RITE
button and
change the destination using the S
ELECT
knob before executing the write.
Note: You can also change program banks by holding the increment (+)
and decrement (-) buttons, but be careful! If you hit the increment button
quickly, it saves the program wherever you are at that point. If you want
to change banks, just be sure to hold the button until you see the bank
change.
To cancel a write, press W
RITE
, decrement (-), or the mode button. W
RITE
is
also used to execute certain operations in the Global menu.
Volume —
The master volume control for all of Tetra’s audio outputs and the
headphone output.
Increment/Decrement —
The increment and decrement (+ and -) controls are
used to step through programs in Program Mode, combos in Combo Mode, to
change values in the Global menu, and to confirm or cancel various operations.
In Edit Mode they increase/decrease the parameter value. They are also used to
select Tetra’s four program banks. Hold increment briefly to switch to the next
highest bank; hold decrement to switch to the next lowest bank.
Assignable Parameters 1-4 —
Any of Tetra’s program parameters can be
edited from the front panel using the A
SSIGNABLE
P
ARAMETERS
controls and the
assignments for the controls are saved per program, to best suit that program. In
other words, the assignments for the controls can be completely different from
one program to another.
In Combo Mode, each of the four controls is routed to the respective voice. That
is, parameter 1 controls an assigned parameter for voice 1, parameter 2 controls
voice 2, etc.
See also Edit B/Combo below for more information.

P
