• Press the <RIGHT> Cursor key once. The cursor moves to the
milliseconds position.
• Using the <UP> Cursor key, scroll until the last two digits of the
delay time read 25. The delay time is now set at .425 seconds.
If you change Programs at this point, either through MIDI or via the
front panel, any modifications that you have made to the Program will
be lost. In order for the Valve FX to remember the changes that you
have made, you must store the Program in memory. The procedure
for storing Programs is covered in more detail in Section 3, pg. 17.
BASIC PROGRAM CREATION There are several requirements for creating a Program on the Valve
FX. The first is that an Algorithm needs to be assigned to the
Program; second, Parameters must be modified to your liking, and
third, the Program must be stored in memory in order to be recalled
for later use.
SELECTING AN ALGORITHM The Algorithm you choose for a Program determines the basic func-
tion of the Program. It is therefore necessary to choose an Algorithm
that contains all the Modules you want to use in an appropriate config-
uration. For a complete list of the available Algorithms in the Valve
FX, see Section 6 on page 69. The Algorithm selection screen for all
Programs in the Valve FX is one screen to the right of the title screen.
The Algorithm selection screen works in conjunction with the LED dis-
play to show the Algorithm number When in the Algorithm selection
screen, the LCD display looks something like this:
Press the <UP> or <DOWN> Cursor keys from the Algorithm selection
screen, the LED display to the right of the screen shows an A fol-
lowed by the Algorithm’s number. To select an Algorithm for a
Program, the procedure is as follows:
• From the title screen, press the <RIGHT> Cursor key once. This
is the Algorithm selection screen. The name of the currently
selected Algorithm is shown on the top line of the display, while
the bottom line shows the effects in the Algorithm.
NOTE: When there are more effects in the Algorithm than will
fit on a single line of the display, an arrow will appear in the
first and/or last character of the bottom line of the display.
These arrows indicate that there is more information about the
effects that could not be displayed on a single screen. To
see the remaining information, simply press the <RIGHT> or
<LEFT> Cursor key (depending on the arrow direction indicat-
ed in the display).
