TAP/AUDITION Button
The [TAP/AUDITION] button has three functions:
• When in Program mode, this button activates the Impulse Audition™, a single
sample impulse, through the effect. The Impulse is a scientifically-designed
sound that produces every frequency in the audio spectrum for one sample
(1/48,000 of a second). This allows you to hear subtle differences when moving
reverb parameters and to reveal problems in a program before they end up on
your mix.

• When editing a delay program, the [TAP/AUDITION] button acts as a tap tempo
control. Press the button twice in the tempo of the song and your delay time will
change to follow the tempo. You can even hold the button down to use the input
signal as a tap tempo source.

A/B/C/D (NAME/ESC/</>) Buttons
The [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons can be used in Program mode to select parameters
for editing with the [VALUE] wheel on the current page. When in Program mode,
pressing any of the [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons will select the corresponding
parameter (A, B, C, or D) in the display, and the selected parameter will flash. On
parameters with only two possible values (On/Off, Fast/Slow), pressing the [A],
[B], [C] and [D] buttons will toggle the parameter value.

When selecting a parameter, if the corresponding [A], [B], [C] or [D] button is held
for longer than one second, a brief description of that parameter will appear in the
display. This is the Wedge’s built-in online help system. If there is no corresponding
parameter for one or more of the [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons in a particular page, it
will be indicated in the display when the button is pushed. For example, if you were
editing an effect in page one which did not have an “A” parameter displayed and
the [A] button was pressed, the message “

appear.
The [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons also allow you to name Programs. When in Store
mode ([STORE] button flashing), the [A], [B], [C] and [D] buttons can be used to
enter the Program’s name. Pressing [A/NAME] moves the cursor in the display to the
first character of the Program’s name. The [C/<] and [D/>] buttons move the cursor
left and right, respectively, through the eight character fields of the Program’s name.
To move the cursor back to the Program location number, press [B/ESC].
