Switching On
When the USB SOLO is switched on, the words KENTON USB SOLO scroll across the display, and
the unit reverts to the settings from when it was last used.
The Display
The display has 3 digits each with a dot above. The 1st dot when lit indicates that PARAMETER mode
is currently selected. The middle dot when lit indicates that VALUE mode is currently selected. The 3rd
dot will light whenever the USB SOLO’s GATE is on (key pressed or sustained).
Stepping Through Parameters
Ensure that the PARAMETER dot is lit. If you need to, you can change between PARAMETER and
VALUE modes by briefly pressing the SELECT button, you can then use the INC and DEC buttons to
scroll through the available parameters. The available parameters are printed on the case of the USB
SOLO for convenience. For additional confirmation, a “P” will appear in the left digit whenever
parameter mode is selected.
Changing Values
Ensure that the VALUE dot is lit. You can change between PARAMETER and VALUE modes by briefly
pressing the SELECT button. You can then use the INC and DEC buttons to scroll through the
available values. The left digit is used for displaying the hundreds portion of the value if applicable. It
will also have a horizontal dash if a minus value is to be displayed. Minus values up to –127, or positive
values up to 255 are used. The display will automatically revert to parameter mode after approximately
10 seconds if neither inc or dec are pressed. The value you have edited will then be saved to ‘edit’
memory which will be remembered next time you use the USB SOLO.
To speed up editing, the INC and DEC keys will repeat if held. To go faster still, when holding the INC
key then also press and hold the DEC key. Similarly, when holding the DEC key, also press and hold
the INC key.
Storing Setups
Any value you change is automatically stored when reverting to parameter mode (either manually or
after the 10 second timeout). You can also store the current setup to a memory location in the range 1
to 40. These can be recalled at a later date.
To store: select parameter 51, press the SELECT button to show the value, and use the INC and
DEC buttons to select the location you want to store to. Now press & hold the SELECT button (for
approx. 6 seconds) until the display reads ‘sto’ (store).
Loading Setups
To load: select parameter 50, press the SELECT button to show the value, and use the INC and DEC
buttons to select the location you want to load from. Now press & hold the SELECT button (for approx.
6 seconds) until the display reads ‘lod’ (load). You can also load setups using program changes if this
feature is enabled (default is off). See “Boot Menu Options” on page 12.
