Chapter 5 – Advanced Applications
38 MicroVerb 4 Reference Manual
MicroVerb 4:
¿ Connect the MicroVerb 4’s [MIDI OUT] to the receiving device’s MIDI IN.
¡ Press and hold [BANK/MIDI] and press the [STORE] button.
The display will read
Snd
as the User Programs are sent.
¬ When you send a Sysex dump back to the MicroVerb 4, it will automatically go
into receive mode (you do not have to do anything to the unit). When this occurs,
the display will read rEc.
Note:
If an error occurs while receiving Sysex data back into the MicroVerb 4, the
display will briefly indicate Err
If this occurs, try sending the data again. If the problem persists, it may indicate a bad
MIDI cable connection or a problem with the data itself.
Realtime Modulation Functions
You can use MIDI controller messages to simultaneously control up to two
parameters in the MicroVerb 4, such as delay time, room decay, etc. Modulation
functions are “hard-wired” in each Program, and therefore cannot be changed. MIDI
Controllers 1 (Modulation) and 11 (Foot Controller) are always active on the
MicroVerb 4, and will typically modulate the Edit A and Edit B parameter values.
The parameters in each Program which can be modulated via MIDI have been
chosen very carefully to provide the most-desired modulation combinations. For
example, on a Multieffect with Chorus and Reverb, Controller 1 controls Reverb
Decay and Controller 11 controls Chorus Rate. These modulators add positive
modulation to the saved program value. The minimum Modulation amount will give
you the saved value, while the maximum Modulation value will increase that
parameter to its maximum possible setting. On a few programs, only one parameter
is available for modulation.
Remember that Modulation is always positive when setting up your programs. For
example, if you wish to modulate Lezlie speed during a performance, make sure you
choose a Program with the “Slow” speed saved into memory. This way, when the
modulation is increased, the motor will speed up. If the Lezlie Program has a “Fast”
speed saved, increasing the modulation amount will have no effect since that
parameter is already at its maximum value.

Note:
If audio is going through a chorus effect and the depth parameter is changed,
you will notice audible “clicks”. This is due to the fact that the processor is making
significant changes in the effect’s algorithm. We recommend that you change the
setting of this parameter only while no audio is running through the effect.
