Input

When you press the INPUT key on the panel, you enter a page where you may adjust the settings of the second analogical audio input of the instrument that may be a microphone input (Micro2) or guitar input (GUITAR).

 

Here again the page is subdivided into 2 sections: the first is MICRO2 and is for the microphone settings while the second is GUITAR and is for the guitar effect settings. Considering that this is a single audio input, the modes cannot be enabled together so that you may either use the input as a second microphone input or as a guitar input. When you enable MICRO2 therefore, GUITAR mode is automatically disabled and vice versa.

All the parameters of MICRO2 mode are exactly the same as those of MICRO 1 mode. The only extra feature is the key FX BYPASS which you may use to quickly disable the effect.

In this section we also find a very useful Guitar Tuner to tune your guitar without use external devices. The Guitar Tuner can operate in two modes: Tone Generator or Tuner detection.

In this mode by tapping on the virtual strings represented by the display you can hear the notes produced by SD9 such 6 string guitar reference (E A D G B e).

The Tuner mode detection allows to use the tuner instead of the traditional way. By connecting your guitar on dedicated input (MICRO 2) you can check on display current status of tuning. The bar with the GREEN colour will indicate perfect tuning.


BLUE or RED colour (related of tolerance tuning) will suggest how to correct your instrument tuning
.

 

 

In Guitar mode you will also find a number of virtual knobs that may be selected on the Touch Screen and modified with the Dial, that function on the Volume, Reverb and Chorus as well as various setups and insert effects especially for the guitar.

When you touch the box GUITAR SETUP a Pop up is displayed with 16 factory setups that may be selected simply by touching the setup you need. By pressing EXIT you escape from the drop-down menu and return to the previous screen.

Each setup selected has an insert effect which is displayed in the box INSERT EFX1. You may change the insert effect of the setup by touching the corresponding box and selecting the effect you prefer from the drop-down menu that is displayed in the same way as that described for the Guitar setups.

 

Finally, each guitar effect may be edited by pressing the EDIT key.

Any the changes made to the effect may be saved in a Setup by pressing the SAVE key on the panel. The display allows you to save your modifications in an effects setup for microphone or guitar. Once you have made this choice, you may press SAVE to open a window on which to save the setup with the same file name or you may press SAVE AS to open the alphanumeric keypad on which you may save the setup with a new file name.
