2112 SGS Patch ============== Author of the template: Tammo Trueper Written for:Tested with: (X) D.I. (X) D.I. ============================================================================= Patch Name: Think Floyd Author: John Tidwell Description: Play a Gilmour-esque lead while a synth player who knows two chords backs you up! Yes, I know this looks daunting. No, I don't have it in sysex. Yes, it really does have 16 assignments. Now that I've weeded out the cowards, let us continue. With Exp1 heel down, play a chord (say Em) using your neck P/U. After hearing 1 or 2 repeats, move the pedal toe down to engage the repeat hold. If the LFOs have been assigned correctly, the loop should not only have a pulsating effect, but should also change back & forth from Em to Bm. Now play some soft lead. You should hear it at the extreme left of the stereo field. As you play harder, two things should happen. First, the lead guitar should move to center. Second, a "clone" of the loop, pitched up 1 octave should move across the stereo field. I'm providing the dynamic modifier settings that work for me; your mileage may vary. If these settings give you trouble, try tweaking them while a loop is actually playing. The loop by itself should not cause the dynamic modifier to do anything, so you might start by lowering the threshold until the loop activates them & then raising the threshold a bit. This sounds great thru headphones. Play a strat if you have one. ============================================================================= Patch Data ========== General ======= Configuration (effect algorithm): Cfg 14 (all 4ths) parallel Master Mix: Dry : 0 Wet : 100% CabEm(on/byp): On Type : 5 Pre/Post Digital : Pre Solo (on/off): Off Volume Pdl :(Exp1) Pre/Post Digital/Morphing : Morph Assign: Parameter : Volume Pedal Assigned to : Exp Pdl 1 Range : min t50, max d50 Preamp ====== TUBE-Pan: L99 DIST-Pan: r99 Mix : 100% Compressor (on/byp): On (Exp1) Thresh : -35 Ratio : 4.00 Attack : 4 Level : 2.5 Assign: Parameter : On/Byp Assigned to : Exp Pdl 1 Range : min Byp, max On Wah (on/byp): Byp External Loop (on/byp): Byp Tube Distort (on/off/byp): On F6 BrightCln 3 Tube GEQ 10 (on/byp): On F16 Quack Distortion (on/off/byp): On F8 Overdrive 2 DIST GEQ 10 (on/byp): Byp Noise Gate (on/byp): On F1 S1 PreGate FX Modules: =========== (when numbering them: always start counting in top row, then count on in next row, the rest follows from the patch configuration; this is the same order you step through them by turning the big wheel) FX Module #1 (on/off): On Size : 1/4 FX : Long Delay FX Lvl : 100% Dry Lvl : 100% Balance : 0 Dly Time: 700 ms Feedback: 50% (Exp1) Out : 75% Pan : 0 Assign: Parameter : Fdbk Assigned to : Exp Pdl 1 Range : min 50, max Hld FX Module #2 (on/off): On Size : 1/4 FX : Dual Pitch FX Lvl : 100% (Exp1) Dry Lvl : Off (Exp1) Balance : 0 Shift A:0 (LF1) Dtn A:0% Shift B: -12 (LF1) Dtn B: 0% Out A:100% (LF2) Pan A:r50 Out B:50% (LF2) Pan B:L30 Assign: Parameter : Fx:Lvl Assigned to : Exp Pdl 1 Range : min Off, max 100 Parameter : Dry:Lvl Assigned to : Exp Pdl 1 Range : min 100, max Off Parameter : Shft A Assigned to : LF1 ( On, SP3, 0.10 ) Range : min 0, max 7 Parameter : Shft B Assigned to : LF1 Range : min -12, max -5 Parameter : Out A Assigned to : LF2 ( On, Sin, 0.10 ) Range : min 100, max 50 Parameter : Out B Assigned to : LF2 Range : min 50, max 100 FX Module #3 (on/off): On Size : 1/4 FX : Stereo Pitch FX Lvl : Off (Dy1) Dry Lvl: 100% (Dy1) Balance: 0 Shift: 12 Dtn: 0% Out L: 30 (LF2) Out R: 70 (LF2) Assign: Parameter : Fx:Lvl Lo Hi Attk Hold Rels Assigned to : Dy1 ( On, -38, -37, 85ms, 120ms, 85ms) Range : min Off, max 100 Parameter : Dry: Lvl Assigned to : Dy1 Range : min 100, max 60 Parameter : Out L Assigned to : LF2 Range : min 30, max 70 Parameter : Out R Assigned to : LF2 Range : min 70, max 30 FX Module #4 (on/off): On Size : 1/4 FX : Reverb F12 PlutoVerb FX Module #5 (on/off): On Size : 1/4 FX : Long Delay Fx:Lvl : 30% Dry:Lvl : 100% Bal : L99 (Dy1) Dly Time: 700ms FdBck : Hld (Exp2) Out : 75 Pan : 0 (LF2) Assign: Parameter : Balance Assigned to : Dy1 Range : min L99, max 0 Parameter : FdBck Assigned to : Exp2 ** Range : min Hld, max 50 ** a 2nd Exp Pdl is handy but optional. I often go into edit mode & tweak this by hand while I'm playing. Since hold is the default setting, this module has no effect until you change the parameter. This module allows you to apply varying degrees of echo to your lead OR (my favorite) create a 2nd loop. Try this: Play the interval (5th) on the A & D strings that compliments both chords of the 1st loop, then engage the Hold. Trippy, no?

However, changing from one digital effect to another or scrolling a digital effect default will kill the loop. 2)While a loop is playing, go to assignment mode & alter the ranges for the dual pitch shifter. Play with the speeds & waveforms for both LFOs. This is a good way to learn how an LFO behaves at various settings.
