PRESET/LIVE mode
TANK-G has 2
operation modes, LIVE mode and PRESET mode. The initial power-on default enters
PRESET mode, tap the combination footswitches B+C to toggle LIVE/PRESET mode
back and forth.
A. Function
Introduction of PRESET mode.
In PRESET
mode,press BANK- or BANK+ at first, the screen shows the target's BANK
flashing, then tap A/B/C/D to switch to any preset you want.
PRESET mode is
the most normal playing state, TANK-G has a total of 36 presets, you can use 4
footswitches to select any one of them.But in PRESET mode, you can't use the
knob to adjust the tone parameters in real time, if you want to adjust the
parameters, you should enter the LIVE mode at first, or you can use the
computer software or APP to read and adjust the parameters of TANK-G.
As you can see
from the display, there are 1-9 preset groups, which we call BANK, each BANK
has four presets for A,B.C,and D.Tap BANK-footswitches to turn down the BANK,
Tap BANK+ footswitches to turn up the BANK.A,B,C,D footswitches are the4
presets of the current BANK, when a preset is selected, the corresponding
footswitch-indicator keep lighting up. At this point, some of the top knob
lights will light up, the continuously on knob light means that the effect is
on, and the off knob light means that the effect is off, If none of the 4
presets of the current BANK are enabled, it means TANK-G is currently in
BYPASS, all 4 footswitch-lights and all parameters-knob lights are off, with
only the MASTER knob on.
In PRESTET
mode, you can save the current preset(2A,for example) overwrite to any of the
36 presets. It's very simple, under the current preset, tap BANK- or BANK+ to
select your target group(eighth group, for example), now the number
"8" on the screen will continue flashing, this will indicate that you
are ready to select the eighth BANK. Then press and hold either A/B/C/D
footswitch(B footswitch, for example), after this
operation, you
had copied and pasted the 2A preset to the 8B preset, the B-footswitch blinks
quickly, indicating "Save successfully".
B. Function
Introduction of LIVE mode.
In LIVE mode
you can fine-tune and edit one of the 36 presets, when you switch B+C
footswitch to enter the LIVE mode, the machine will retain the data in the
corresponding knobs before switching, the data is retained only once, and once
the knob value is manually changed, the data is overwritten by the actual knob
value. Therefore, you can adjust any parameters-knob of the current preset,
then tapBANK- or BANK+ to select the BANK you want, finally you can hold the
A/B/C/D to save the overlay, at this time, the A/B/C/D footswitch blinks
quickly, indicating "Save successfully".
In LIVE mode
you can also customize a effectors chain, after you enter the LIVE mode, you
should close all effector modules manually at first, then you turn on the
module you want, at this time you get a effectors chain, visual operations can
be performed, the timbre of parameters-knob is what you see is what you get,
you can use the knobs to improvise the timbre when you performing.
In LIVE mode,
the knob lights have only 3 states:lighting on/went off/flashing. If the knob
light is off, it means that the effect of this knob is not on; If the knob is
lighting on, it means that the effect has been turned on and the knob timbre
effect is what you see is what you get; If the knob light flashing, it means
that the effect has been turned on, but the knob timbre what you get is
diffrent from what you see, and once the knob value is manually changed, the
data is overwritten by the actual knob value, the knob light become lighting
on.
In LIVE mode,
the footswitch lights have only 2 states: went off/flashing. If the footswitch
light is off, it means that the effecor module of this footswitch is not on; If
the footswitch light is flashing, it means that the effecor module of this
footswitch is on.
