In addition, a new dedicated Tone knob lets you adjust the tone of the TapeSaturation exactly to your liking, from dark to bright.
• MIDI – Full MIDI implementation means you can control just about every switch, knob,and setting remotely by sending MIDI commands from your controller or DAW vialDeco’s EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C connection. Lag Deck delay time can be synchronizedvia MIDI Clock Sync, and the sync setting can be saved for each preset. 300 MIDI presetlocations are available for loading and saving your favorite settings.
• Hardware Improvements – A premium analog JFET input circuit ensures superbresponsiveness to your playing, and you can select mono or stereo input with the flick ofa rear panel switch. All this, plus a new ARM DSP chip provides more processing powerfor every sonic nuance, with less energy consumption on your pedalboard
