 Application Notes
The following section describes in detail the features of the EPP400 and how to use these
features. For a specific description of each component of the EPP400, refer to the
previous section Operation Description.

1. How to Program and Recall Patches

a. Recalling a patch in an adjacent program location

Press the INC or DEC buttons.

One press of these buttons will move the bank / patch setting up or down
one number. This is the fastest method of accessing bank / patch settings
so it is advantageous to arrange patches sequentially in the order they will
be used.

b. Recalling a patch in another bank

Press the PROG button to enter Program Mode.
Key in the required 3-digit bank / patch number using the buttons 0
through 9.
Press the ENTER button to return to Performance Mode.

When you press the PROG button, the bank and patch LEDs start to blink.
When keying in the bank / patch numbers, the numbers are entered on the
right and are “pushed left” as other numbers are entered.
When you press the ENTER button, the bank and patch LEDs stop
blinking.

c. Recalling a patch using the PROG SHIFT jack

Attach a momentary-type footswitch to the PROG SHIFT jack. Each time
this footswitch is pressed, the bank / patch setting is incremented.

d. Recalling a patch using the REMOTE DIN jack

Attach a foot controller such as the Ibanez IFC60 to the REMOTE DIN
jack. For more information about the IFC60 Foot Controller and its use,
refer to section 6 of Application Notes

e. Recalling a patch using the MIDI IN DIN jack

Refer to section 7 of Application Notes

f. Programming a patch
Select a bank / patch location using any of the methods described above.
Press the PROG button to enter Program Mode – the bank and patch LEDs
start to blink.
Press the ORDER button to enter Program Order Mode – the loop display
LEDs start to blink.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Use the loop selection buttons to select the order of the loops for this
patch.
For example, if you wish to include loops 2, 3, and 5 in a patch and you
want to include them in the order 3, 2, and 5, you would press the loop
selection buttons 2 (loop 3), 1 (loop 2), and then 4 (loop 5) in that order.

In this example, the number 1 will appear under LOOP 3, indicating this
loop is the first in the chain of loops. Number 2 will appear under LOOP
2, indicating this loop is the second in the chain of loops, and the number
3 will appear under LOOP 5, indicating this loop is the third in the chain
of loops. The remaining loops (LOOP 1 and LOOP 4) will have dashes
under them, indicating they are bypassed in this patch.

If the LEDs display “Err”, the unit remains in Program Order Mode and
you must re-enter the loop order. Be sure that (a) each loop is selected
only once and (b) no more than 5 loop selections are made for each patch.

To select the input assignment, press the INPUT button. Each press of the
INPUT button alternates between the INPUT 1 jack and the INPUT 2
jack. The input setting is displayed by the INPUT assign LEDs.

To select the output assignment, press the OUTPUT button. Each press of
the OUTPUT button alternates between the MAIN OUTPUT 1 jack and
the MAIN OUTPUT 2 jack. The output setting is displayed by the
OUTPUT assign LEDs.

After selecting the loop order, input assignment and output assignment,
press the ENTER button. This saves the patch settings in memory and
returns the unit to Performance Mode.

g. Programming the SUB output location

Press the PROG button to enter Program Mode – the bank and patch LEDs
start to blink.
Press the SUB button to enter Program Sub Output Mode – the SUB
output LED starts to blink.

To assign the SUB output to a particular loop, press one of the SUB output
assign buttons (5 through 9) corresponding to the particular loop. After
selecting a loop for SUB output, the SUB output indicator appears next to
the loop selected.

After selecting a loop for the SUB output, press the ENTER button. This
saves the SUB output location in memory and returns the unit to
Performance Mode.

h. Editing an existing patch

 The following procedures are similar to those described in section f,
Programming a patch.

To edit the loop order and loop selection for a patch:

Press the PROG button to enter Program Mode – the bank and patch LEDs
start to blink.
Press the ORDER button to enter Program Order Mode – the loop display
LEDs start to blink.
Use the loop selection buttons to select the order of the loops for this
patch.
For example, if you wish to include loops 2, 3, and 5 in a patch and you
want to include them in the order 3, 2, and 5, you would press the loop
selection buttons 2 (loop 3), 1 (loop 2), and then 4 (loop 5) in that order.

To change the input assignment or output assignment:

Press the PROG button to enter Program Mode – the bank and patch LEDs
start to blink.
To select the input assignment, press the INPUT button. Each press of the
INPUT button alternates between the INPUT 1 jack and the INPUT 2
jack. The input setting is displayed by the INPUT assign LEDs.
To select the output assignment, press the OUTPUT button. Each press of
the OUTPUT button alternates between the MAIN OUTPUT 1 jack and
the MAIN OUTPUT 2 jack. The output setting is displayed by the
OUTPUT assign LEDs.

To edit the SUB output location:

Press the PROG button to enter Program Mode – the bank and patch LEDs
start to blink.
Press the SUB button to enter Program Sub Output Mode – the SUB
output LED starts to blink.
To assign the SUB output to a particular loop, press one of the SUB output
assign buttons (5 through 9) corresponding to the particular loop. After
selecting a loop for SUB output, the SUB output indicator appears next to
the loop selected.

To save changes to a patch:

After selecting the loop order, input assignment and output assignment,
and SUB output location, press the ENTER button. This saves the patch
settings in memory and returns the unit to Performance Mode.

i. Copying a patch to a different bank / patch location

Select a bank / patch location using any of the methods described above.
Press the PROG button to enter Program Mode – the bank and patch LEDs
start to blink.
Press the COPY button to enter Copy Program Mode – the bank / patch
LEDs change to three dashes and continue to blink.

10

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Enter the new bank / patch number using the 0 through 9 buttons. Valid
bank / patch numbers range from 000 (bank 00, patch 0) through 127
(bank 12, patch 7). When keying in the bank / patch numbers, the
numbers are entered on the right and are “pushed left” as other numbers
are entered.

After selecting the “copy to” bank / patch, press the ENTER button. This
copies the patch settings, saving them in memory, and returns the unit to
Performance Mode. The copied patch now resides in both the original and
the new program locations.

2. The IFCS “Bank / Patch” Format

The IFCS format divides the 128 program locations into 13 banks labeled 00
through 12. The first 12 banks, 00 through 11, have 10 patches each, labeled 0
through 9. The last bank (12) has 8 patches, labeled 0 through 7.

The PROG / BANK and PROG / PATCH display digits indicate which bank /
patch combination is currently selected in Program Mode or Performance Mode.

3. Using the Loop Concept

Using the “loop” concept is actually quite simple. The loop “send” is connected
to the external effects processor’s input and the loop “receive” is connected to the
same effects processor’s output. Always leave the effects processor powered on
and active during Performance Mode. The EPP400 will switch the effect into and
out of the signal path according to each patch setting.

An important principle to keep in mind when using a multiple loop system is

“signal level awareness”. The EPP400 will handle any signal level from line (0 to
+10 dBv) to low instrument (from -30 to 0 dBv) levels. So the signal level
awareness has to do with the effects processors you use. Phasers and time-delay
effects such as flangers, choruses, and doublers perform best at certain signal
levels. Other effects such as compressors, EQs, and distortion devices operate
over a wider range of signal levels. Care must be taken to operate all of your
effects processors at or near their optimum level to avoid signal clipping
(overload) or to avoid poor signal-to-noise (low signal level) ratios. Also, keep
levels in mind when changing the loop order.

More than one effects processor may be placed in a loop if desired. Hook the
processors in series in the order that they are to be used. The EPP400 will not
affect the order of an effects chain placed in one loop. The loop send should be
wired to the input of the first effects processor in the chain and the loop receive
should be wired to the output of the last effects processor in the chain. Always
leave all effects processors in the chain powered on and active during

11

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Performance Mode. The EPP400 will switch the effects chain into and out of the
signal path according to each patch setting.

4. Using the Input, Output, and SUB Output Assignment Features

Input assignment, using the INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 buttons, allows you to select
between two separate inputs. This feature can be used in any number of ways. It
can select between two instruments or other signal sources. It can also be used to
switch other upstream effects in and out of the signal path. This is done by
splitting your input signal, running one split into INPUT 1 or INPUT 2, the other
split into the input of an upstream effects processor, and running the output of this
effects processor into the unused input of the EPP400. By selecting between
INPUT 1 and INPUT 2, the upstream effects processor is switched in and out of
the signal path. Input assignment is programmed into the information for each
patch and is recalled with each patch.

Similarly, output assignment, using MAIN OUTPUT 1 and the MAIN OUTPUT
2 buttons, allows you to select between two separate outputs. This feature can be
used in several ways. It can select between two amps, two amp channels, two
mixers, or two recorder channels. It can also be used to switch other downstream
effects in and out of the signal path. Connect one MAIN OUTPUT to the input of
the downstream effects processor. Mix the output of this effects processor with
the output from the unused MAIN OUTPUT of the EPP400. By selecting
between MAIN OUTPUT 1 and MAIN OUTPUT 2, the downstream effects
processor is switched in and out of the signal path. Output assignment is
programmed into the information for each patch and is recalled with each patch.

NOTE: For information about programming input and output assignments, refer
to sections 1.f and 1.h of Application Notes

The SUB output is a secondary output that may be assigned to loop 3, 4, or 5. It

cannot be assigned to loop 1 or 2. Loops 3, 4, and 5 receive SUB outputs via their
respective SUB RCV jacks. These input jacks can be used to receive second or
stereo outputs from delays, stereo choruses, flangers, or duplicate outputs from
any effects processor. When a SUB output is assigned, the SUB output from the
chosen loop is connected to the SUB output jack. The SUB output can be
connected to an amplifier, another mixer input, or to a different chain of effects
processors. When SUB output is not assigned, there is no signal output at the
SUB output jack. SUB output assignment is programmed into the information for
each patch and is recalled with each patch.

NOTE: For more information about programming SUB output assignments,

refer to sections 1.g and 1.h of Application Notes

5. Using the Footswitch Features

12

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Two functions of the EPP400 can be controlled by remote footswitch facilities
located on the rear panel. The EPP400 bypass function can be controlled by the
BYPASS ON/OFF jack. The bank / patch number can be advanced by the PROG
SHIFT jack. To use these features, connect a momentary-type footswitch such as
the Ibanez FS1M using a standard ¼” mono phono plug to the PROG ON/OFF or
PROG SHIFT jack.

If controlling the bypass function of the EPP400, each press of the footswitch will
alternate between active and bypass. If advancing the bank / patch number, each
press of the footswitch will advance the bank / patch setting by one.

Non momentary-type footswitches (push on, push off) can be connected to either
of these jacks, but this type of footswitch must be pressed twice in order to affect
a change. For this reason, a momentary-type footswitch is recommended.

When using a footswitch for controlling the bypass function or the bank / patch
advance function, the front panel BYPASS, INC and DEC buttons are disabled.

6. Using the IFC60 Remote Switching Feature

The IFC Intelligent Foot Controller allows immediate remote access to all 128
bank / patch locations in the EPP400 and to the bypass function. The IFC60 has a
3-digit LED readout that displays the current EPP400 bank / patch number.
Connect the IFC60 to the REMOTE DIN jack.

When the IFC60 is first powered up, its display flashes the MIDI channel number
3 times. Then the initial bank / patch setting will flash then hold. The MIDI
operation channel and the initial bank / patch setting can be changed. Refer to the
IFC60 Owners’ Manual for details about changing these settings.

7. MIDI Information

The 128 program locations of the EPP400 can be accessed by MIDI (Musical
Instrument Digital Interface) information from a synthesizer, computer, or other
MIDI controller. The EPP400 can be programmed to accept directives on any of
the 16 MIDI channels.

Connect the MIDI information source to the MIDI IN DIN jack using a standard
MIDI cable. Next, determine which MIDI operation channel is being used by the
MIDI information source. Change the EPP400 MIDI operation channel to match
the information source’s channel, as follows.

Press the PROG button to enter Program Mode – the bank and patch LEDs start to
blink.
Press the MIDI button to enter Program MIDI Mode – the current MIDI operation
channel is displayed using the bank and patch display LEDs.

13

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Enter the desired MIDI operation channel using the buttons 0 through 9.
After selecting the MIDI operation channel, press the ENTER button. This saves
the MIDI operational channel in memory and returns the unit to Performance
Mode.

The EPP400 comes factory set to MIDI channel 01.

NOTE: The EPP400’s patch numbers range from 000 through 127. When the
EPP400 receives a MIDI Program Change message with program ID 00, it loads
patch number 000. This is contrary to most other MIDI equipment whose patch
numbers range from 1 through 128. When these equipment receive a MIDI
Program Change message with program ID 00, they load patch number 1.
