4.1 Important:
internal effect levels
For best effect sound without
noise or distortion, it is important
not to set the EFF controls (14) of
the channels too low or too high.
As a starting point, set the channel
EFF controls maximally around '5'
and in a way, that each channel
gets the right proportion of effect
signal. If the CLIP LED (67) of the
effect section flashes up, gradually
reduce the controls (while main-
taining the proportions) until just
the SIGNAL LED (68) stays on. If
the SIGNAL LED stays permanently
dark, the channel controls are set
too low - bring them up.
Adjust the general effect level
with the EFFECT fader (54).

4.2 Effect selection

A specific effect is called up by
selecting the desired program
number with the SELECT rotary
switch (59). The selected program
number will be shown in the
display along with two flashing
dots, which indicate that the
program that has been selected
before is still active. Depressing
the ENTER button (60) instantly
switches to the new program,
causing the dots to stop flashing.
If a 'preset' program is active (see
below), its preset number will be
shown in the display.

4.3 Preset effect programs

The PD 10.14 / MD 10.14 is able to
memorize your four favorite effect
programs for a quick recall via
22
four PRESET buttons (61 through
64). Another bonus: those four
presets are selectable via foot-
switch, enabling the user to change
effect programs during the show
by remote control without having
to get Midi-ized.
The mixers have a non-volatile
memory, so that all stored effect
parameters (program, preset,
footswitch type and function, effect
on/off) remain stored four the
next couple of years if the mixer is
turned off.
Recalling presets
For recalling a preset program,
just hit one of the four PRESET
buttons. The assigned effect will
instantly become active (you don't
have to use the 'Enter' button
here) while the display will show
the selected preset number (P1,
P2, P3 or P4). For refreshing your
own memory in finding out which
effect program you have been
hiding behind a certain preset
number, hold the PRESET button
down for a few seconds. The display
will change from preset number
to the assigned program number.
Releasing the preset button will
again change the display back to
the preset number.
If you should become tired of your
presets or want to try something
new, hitting the ENTER button
will instantly switch to the effect
that has been selected with the
rotary switch. When using presets,
one could also look at the ENTER

button as the fifth preset effect -
for the effect selected via the
rotary switch.

stored preset effect.

4.4 Footswitch types

Regarding their electric prop e r t i e s ,
footswitches can be divided into
two categories: momentary
(unlatched, disengages again at
release) and non-momentary
(latched, remains engaged until
next step-on). For correct function
of the EFFECT FOOTSW jack (32),
you have to tell your mixer what
type of footswitch you are using:
- For momentary (unlatched)
footswitches, depress and hold
down the ENTER (60), PRESET 3
(63) and ON (65) buttons in this
order. As soon as the ON button
has been depressed, the mixer is
ready to accept a momentary
footswitch.
- For non-momentary (latched)
footswitches follow the same
procedure with the ENTER (60),
PRESET 4 (64) and ON (65) buttons.
This is also the factory setting.
