The control deck

The deck at the bottom of the board is the patch cockpit. It holds the patch name and author, a patch VOL slider, PAN and TEMPO popovers, live treadle readouts (volume, wah and whammy positions moving in real time), and audio meters. Its two buttons open the FX LOOP and SETTINGS drawers. When a device is connected, a SAVE TO [slot] button writes the current patch to the active slot.

What each control covers

• VOL runs 0–100 and is the patch's own output level , the value Bulk Apply can stamp across a whole bank when one patch jumps out louder than the rest of your set.
• PAN runs −50 to +50, centre at 0.
• TEMPO runs 40–250 BPM and can be typed as a number rather than dragged, which is faster when you already know the tempo of the song. It is stored with the patch, so tempo-synced delays land correctly the moment the patch loads.
• Live treadle readouts only move when a device is connected: they mirror the hardware expression pedal, so you can see exactly where a sweep is without looking down at the floor.

The session bar

The sticky bar at the top of the screen is the session: connection status, the current slot and firmware, a patch stepper, the stage lights switch, and the buttons for LOOP, DRUMS, TUNER, REMOTE and PATCHES, plus LOAD / SAVE AS / CONNECT and this guide.

The distinction worth internalising is that the deck is per patch and the top bar is per session. Everything on the deck travels with the patch when you export it or save it to a slot; nothing in the top bar does. That is also why the stage lights toggle sits up there rather than on the deck , it is a property of your screen, not of your tone.
