Presets – 5 On Board, 127 Via MIDI
The currently loaded Preset is indicated on the Preset LED Ladder. When a Preset is modified the Preset LED blinks once.
Load Presets
To select and load a Preset using Footswitches:
Save Presets
To save one of the 5 Presets using the Buttons:
1. SWIRL Footswitch selects Preset 1 to 5. Preset 1 (top LED) to Preset 5
(bottom LED) blinks.
2. ACTIVE Footswitch loads the Preset. LED stops blinking.
NOTE: To select Preset, SWIRL Footswitch must be in Preset mode. If SWIRL LED
is lit, press and hold SWIRL Footswitch.
Catch Up Knob Function
1. Press & hold SWIRL Button – Blinking Ladder and Button LEDs let you know
you have entered Save Mode.
2. SWIRL Button selects Preset 1 to Preset 5. 3. ACTIVE Button saves Preset
– LEDs stop blinking to let you know the Preset is saved.
NOTE: SWIRL status is saved with the preset. Save Mode times out after a few
seconds. Pressing either Footswitch exits Save Mode.
When a Preset is loaded or when toggling between Parameters using , Knob positions will not align with their current Parameter values. As a result, turning a knob will likely cause an abrupt change in the sound.
With Catch Up ON, the sound does not change until the Knob is moved to the position corresponding to the current value. The LED Ladder indicates whether the knob must be turned CCW (top LED blinks) or CW (bottom LED blinks). The LED flashes more rapidly as the knob approaches the value set by the Preset. All five LEDs blink once when the knob matches the stored Parameter value.
NOTE: To enable/disable Catch Up Knob Function, power up in System Setup mode and press SWIRL Footswitch to toggle ON/OFF.
SWIRL Footswitch Functionality
Press & Hold the SWIRL Footswitch to toggle between SWIRL mode and Preset Select mode. In SWIRL mode, press the SWIRL Footswitch to turn ON/OFF SWIRL.

Swirl adds another dimension to TriceraChorus’ sound via stereo phase shifters after the Detune section to create throbbing and swooshing effects.
LED GREEN SWIRL ON
The amount of Swirl depends on the greater level of either Chorus Mix or Detune Mix and follows the Env Mix control. Swirl speed is adjusted by Rate and follows the ENV Rate control. Use faster rates to achieve deeper Swirl effects.
