સેટઅપ

1. પાવર કનેક્શન: Connect a 9V DC (center negative, 300mA minimum) power supply to the 9VDC input jack.
2. ઓડિયો ઇનપુટ:
   • For mono operation, connect your instrument or preceding effects pedal to the IN (Mono L) જેક
   • For stereo operation, connect the left channel to IN (Mono L) and the right channel to STEREO (R).
3. ઓડિયો આઉટપુટ:
   • મોનો આઉટપુટ માટે, કનેક્ટ કરો OUT (Mono L) તમારા માટે જેક amplifier or next effects pedal.
   • For stereo output, connect the left channel to OUT (Mono L) and the right channel to STEREO (R).
4. MIDI (Optional): If using MIDI control, connect your MIDI controller to the MIDI IN બંદર

Operating Modes (Delay Algorithms)

The D1 MKII offers six distinct delay algorithms, each with unique characteristics and adjustable parameters via the TWEAK and ATTACK knobs.

1. ડિજિટલ

A pristine, clear delay with high-fidelity repeats. Ideal for rhythmic delays where clarity is paramount.

2. મોડ

Adds modulation to the delay repeats, creating lush, swirling textures. The TWEAK and ATTACK knobs control modulation depth and rate.

૩.૮.૨. વિનtage

Emulates the warm, decaying repeats of analog and tape delays. Repeats gradually lose fidelity and clarity.

4. ડ્યુઅલ

Features two independent delay lines that can be set to different subdivisions, creating complex rhythmic patterns. The redesigned Dual mode allows for unique tap divisions on each channel.

5. રિવર્સ

Plays delay repeats backward, creating ethereal and atmospheric effects. The TWEAK and ATTACK knobs can control the attack and decay of the reversed repeats.

6. Grain

A granular delay algorithm that slices the audio into small "grains" and manipulates them to create unique textures, from shimmering ambient washes to glitchy stutters. This is an all-new program for the MKII.

પ્રીસેટ્સ

The D1 MKII allows users to save and recall up to 128 presets, providing quick access to your favorite delay settings. Presets can be accessed and managed via the OLED display and footswitches, or through MIDI control.

• પ્રીસેટ સાચવી રહ્યું છે: Adjust the pedal to your desired settings. Refer to the on-screen menu for specific instructions on how to save the current state to a preset slot.
• પ્રીસેટ યાદ કરાવવું: Use the TAP footswitch to cycle through presets or navigate the menu to select a specific preset.

MIDI નિયંત્રણ

The D1 MKII supports MIDI control for advanced integration into your rig. MIDI allows for remote control of parameters, program changes (preset recall), and synchronization with other MIDI-enabled devices.

• Connect your MIDI controller to the MIDI IN બંદર
• આ મીડી થ્રુ port can be used to daisy-chain MIDI data to other pedals.
• Refer to the Walrus Audio website for detailed MIDI implementation charts and CC messages.

જાળવણી

• સફાઈ: પેડલના બાહ્ય ભાગને સાફ કરવા માટે નરમ, સૂકા કપડાનો ઉપયોગ કરો. ઘર્ષક ક્લીનર્સ અથવા સોલવન્ટ્સ ટાળો.
• સંગ્રહ: ઉપયોગમાં ન હોય ત્યારે પેડલને સીધા સૂર્યપ્રકાશ અને અતિશય તાપમાનથી દૂર ઠંડી, સૂકી જગ્યાએ સંગ્રહિત કરો.
• પાવર સપ્લાય: Always use a regulated 9V DC, center-negative power supply with a minimum of 300mA. Using an incorrect power supply can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• ફર્મવેર અપડેટ્સ: Periodically check the Walrus Audio website for firmware updates via the USB-C port to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
