Input Gain — Used to adjust the gain of A
UDIO
I
N
. For more about using
Mopho to process external audio, see page 11. For low-level sources (like
guitars), I
NPUT
G
AIN
should be turned up. For line-level sources, it will usually
be turned down. Turning it down does not turn it off, it just decreases the gain.
External Input Volume (see Mixer Parameters on page 17) controls the amount
of signal that gets mixed into the filter and must be turned up for any audio—
external or feedback—to be heard.
Note: The factory programs use a naming convention where “FB”
indicates a program is designed to take advantage of the feedback
capability. When nothing is plugged into the Audio In jack, the left
Audio Output is normalled to the input. This provides a feedback path
that will create some unique, wild sounds. I
NPUT
G
AIN
is not a
programmable control, so its position will have an effect on those
programs. For most FB sounds, the
I
NPUT
G
AIN
should be set to
minimum, and will get out of control (often nicely!) when turned up.
Program — Use P
ROGRAM
to change and scroll through the programs. Also
used to select parameters in Global mode.
Program Mode — Mopho has three modes of operation: program, edit, and
global. When in program mode, the display shows the name, number, and bank
of the current program. Editing any of the parameters puts Mopho into edit
