Assigning Momentary Pedal Settings
Two momentary pedals may be connected to the Black Box. These pedals can perform the same functions as the keys on the left
side of the Black Box (The only key that does not function this way is the UTILITY key). To assign these pedals, simply step on the pedal
you wish to assign and hold it down while you press and hold down one of the keys on the left side of the Black Box for one second,
then let up on the pedal. We recommend using the M-Audio SP-1 momentary pedal with the Black Box.
Examples:
<
While pressing down on the pedal plugged into P1, press the TAP TEMPO key on the unit and release the pedal. The pedal
plugged into the P1 jack will now allow you to tap the tempo of the drum machine with your foot.
<
While pressing down on the pedal plugged into P2, press the START key on the unit and release the pedal. The pedal plugged
into the P2 jack will now allow you to start and stop the drum machine with your foot.
<
While pressing down on the pedal plugged into P1, press the DELAY key on the unit and release the pedal. The pedal plugged
into the P1 jack will now allow you to turn the Delay effect on/off with your foot.
The following parameter values function can also be assigned to a momentary pedal:
<
Preset Increment/Decrement
<
Amp On/Off
<
Drum preset Increment/Decrement
<
FX On/Off
<
Tap Tempo
<

Tuner Function
When both the Delay and Utility keys are quickly pressed simultaneously, the Tuner function is activated. TUNER will be displayed on
the LCD along with the note value of the currently played string. Quickly press the Delay and Utility keys simultaneously again to exit
the Tuner function. TUNER will disappear from the LCD display.
How to Store and Name a Preset
When browsing presets, the PRESET icon will be displayed along with the USER icon (if a user preset is selected). The preset name will
also be shown in the LCD. Any time a change is made to a preset, the EDIT icon will display letting you know that you must store the
change if you wish to keep the changes. To engage the STORE function, quickly tap both the PRESET Increment and Decrement keys
simultaneously. When the store function is engaged the preset number icon will blink and the first three 14-segment characters will
blink. To rename the preset, turn the first three encoders to change the values of the first three characters. Available characters are:
A-Z and 0-9. The fourth encoder is used to select the first three or the last three characters. Turning the encoder to the left selects
the first three characters. Turning the encoder to the right selects the last three characters. You can then use the Preset Increment
and Decrement keys to select a different preset number to store to. If a factory preset was being edited, the correlating user preset
name and number will be displayed. When the PRESET Increment and Decrement keys are quickly taped again, all of the current
values will be stored to the newly selected user preset, and the preset number icon will stop blinking. The newly written preset will
now be loaded.
Connecting your Hardware to the Computer
The Black Box is a class-compliant device for both Windows XP (SP-1) and Mac OS 10.3.7 and above. “Class-Compliant” means
that there is no need to install M-Audio software drivers on your computer in order to achieve minimum functionality. Minimum
functionality means that you will be able to record the processed guitar sound in most standard DAW applications, including Ableton
Live Lite 4 GTR. However, without the drivers installed, the DAW will not have access to the dry guitar or the XLR mic input, nor will
your unit be able to lock to MIDI Clock from a DAW. You will also not be able to save and load presets to your computer, as this is a
