WELCOME

Congratulations on the purchase of your new M2000.

We hope, that you will have as much pleasure using it

as we had making it.

The M2000 is basically two separate effect Engines housed in the

same box. They can be used as such but they can also work

together in a number of Combined configurations. The outputs of

the two Engines are mixed down to a common stereo output.

The general Control of the M2000 is accomplished by moving

the cursor with the cursor keys; value changes are made by turn-

ing the Adjust wheel.

The rest is simple. You select the area that you wish to control by

pressing the function keys on the front of the M2000; i.e., if you

want to Recall you press the RECALL key.

About this Manual

Many people in the music business have an aversion to reading

manuals. We understand that. So if you feel like starting without

reading the whole manual, simply: Plug & Play. You can always

use the manual for checking out areas that you have questions

about or if you want to dig deeper into the unit. Refer to the

Table of Contents for further information.

On the other hand, you might want to know a little more about

the M2000 before you start pressing keys. The manual will take

you step by step through all of the M2000 functions. If you want

to read about a specific function, please refer to the Table of

Contents.

The Help function

The Help function is another way to learn your way around the

M2000. Simply press Help (Shift - I/O) and the Help function

will brief you about functions in the current display.

Notes:

To accomodate International regulations, we have also added a back panel power switch.

You don’t need to use the power switch on the rear panel. Use the front panel power switch instead.

Remember to use the left input when you’re using only one input.

Pin 2 is »hot« on all XLR’s (AES Regulations).

If You are connecting the M2000 to unbalanced equipment, you must tie pins 1 and 3 together in the cable

ends away from the M2000.

We have reserved the two unused pins on the MIDI connectors for an optional RS485 interface. Therefore, if

you are connecting M2000 to other equipment that use these pins, please make sure the cable is a 3-wire

standard MIDI type, and not a five wire MIDIPLUS type.

If you want to use the pedal input, be sure it is a momentary »make« type.

THE SIGNAL FLOW

Notes Regarding the signal flow:

As shown in the block diagram signals are present on all outputs, all the time.

The digital input gain circuit is capable of »lifting« the signal level. This is a very useful feature if you e.g.

are feeding the M2000 with a DAT recording that isn´t fully leveled to 0 dB.

The Recall Displays

The Recall display is the »homepage« of the M2000. This means that you return to this display whenever you exit any other display of the

M2000.

The Recall display is split into two halfs, showing the presets of both Engines at the same time. Engine 1 is always the top half while

Engine 2 is the bottom half of the display.

If you want to have only one effect, use one engine and set the other in bypass mode.

Recalling a Preset

When you wish to Recall a preset, simply use the

ADJUST wheel to scroll through the presets and press

OK to Recall.

Another way of Recalling is to use the Wizard described later in

this section (see »The Wizard«). The Preset number and the OK

key will be blinking while you are previewing, indicating that the

shown preset is not Recalled yet.

Use the Cursor keys (or the other Recall key) to access the other

Engine.
