Side Panel Connections (Output & Power)

• OUT (Mono L) Jack: Main audio output. Use this for mono output.
• STEREO (R) Jack: Right channel audio output. Use in conjunction with the Mono (L) jack for stereo output.
• 9VDC, 300mA Power Input: Connect a standard 9V DC power supply (center negative, 300mA minimum).

Подключения на задней панели

• MIDI ВХОД: Connect to a MIDI controller for external control.
• USB-C: For firmware updates and potential future functionality.
• MIDI-СКВОЗЬ: Passes MIDI data to other MIDI devices in a chain.

Настраивать

1. Подключение питания: Connect a 9V DC (center negative, 300mA minimum) power supply to the 9VDC input jack.
2. Аудиовход:
   • For mono operation, connect your instrument or preceding effects pedal to the IN (Mono L) Джек.
   • For stereo operation, connect the left channel to IN (Mono L) and the right channel to STEREO (R).
3. Аудиовыход:
   • Для монофонического выхода подключите OUT (Mono L) Джек к твоему 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 (необязательно): If using MIDI control, connect your MIDI controller to the MIDI ВХОД порт.

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. Цифровой

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

2. Мод

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

3.Винtage

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

4. Двойной

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. Обратный

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.

Предустановки

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.

• Сохранение предустановки: 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.
• Вызов предустановки: Use the TAP footswitch to cycle through presets or navigate the menu to select a specific preset.

MIDI контроль

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 ВХОД порт.
• The MIDI-ТРУ 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.

Обслуживание

• Уборка: Для очистки внешней поверхности педали используйте мягкую сухую ткань. Избегайте абразивных чистящих средств или растворителей.
• Хранилище: Когда педаль не используется, храните ее в прохладном, сухом месте, вдали от прямых солнечных лучей и экстремальных температур.
• Источник питания: 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.
• Обновления прошивки: Periodically check the Walrus Audio website for firmware updates via the USB-C port to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
