RP-12 Owner’s Manual

These symbols warn that there are no user serviceable parts inside the

unit. Do not open the unit. Do not attempt to service the unit yourself.

Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening the chassis for any

reason will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Do not get the unit wet. If

liquid is spilled on the unit, shut it off immediately and take it to a deal-

er for service. Disconnect the equipment during storms to prevent

damage.

U.K. ONLY - A moulded mains plug that has been cut off from the cord

is unsafe. Discard the mains plug at a suitable disposal facility.

NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU INSERT A

DAMAGED OR CUT MAINS PLUG INTO A 13 AMP POWER SOCK-

ET. Do not use the mains plug without the fuse cover in place.

Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local retailer.

Replacement fuses are 13 amps and MUST be ASTA approved to

BS1362.

Lithium Battery Warning CAUTION! This product contains a lithium battery. There is danger of

explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with an

Eveready CR 2032 or equivalent. Make sure the battery is installed

with the correct polarity. Discard used batteries according to manufac-

turer’s instructions.

ADVARSEL! Lithiumbatteri - Eksplosjonsfare. Ved utskifting benyttes

kun batteri som anbefalt av apparatfabrikanten. Brukt batteri returneres

apparatleverandøren.

ADVARSEL! Lithiumbatteri - Eksplosionsfare ved fejlagtig håndtering.

Udskiftning må kun ske med batteri av samme fabrikat og type. Levér

det brugte batteri tilbage til leverandøren.

VAROITUS! Paristo voi räjähtää, jos se on virheellisesti asennettu.

Vaihda paristo ainoastaan laitevalmistajan suosittelemaan tyyppin.

Hävitä käytetty paristo valmistajan ohjeiden mukaisesti.

VARNING! Explosionsfara vid felaktigt batteribyte. Använd samma

batterityp eller en ekvivalent typ som rekommenderas av apparattil-

lverkaren. Kassera använt batteri enligt fabrikantens instruktion.

RP-12 Owner’s Manual

Section 1 - Startup

Supplying power Line Conditioning - The RP-12 is sensitive to voltage drops, spikes,

and surges. Interference such as lightning or power “brownouts” can

seriously, and in extreme cases, permanently damage the circuitry

inside the unit. Here are some ways to avoid this type of damage:

• Spike/Surge Suppressors - This is an inexpensive solution to all

but the severest of AC line conditions. Surge protected power

strips usually cost only slightly more than unprotected strips,

making them a worthy investment for protection of all your valu-

able gear.

• AC Line Conditioners - This is the best way to go for total protec-

tion from improper line voltages, albeit the more expensive way.

Line conditioners constantly monitor for excessively high or low

voltages and adjust accordingly, thus delivering consistent power

levels.

Front Panel Controls The front panel controls and functions of the RP-12 are as follows

(refer to diagram):

1) Pedalboard - The RP-12’s pedalboard consists of twelve switches

and a real-time Continuous Controller Pedal. The ten main switches

are labeled 1 - 0 (10) and can be set to turn effects on or off,

change Programs, or toggle continuous controllers. From the

Factory, switches 1-5 are assigned to change programs. Switches

6-0, are used to turn effects on or off. The Bank Up/Bypass (top

row, far right switch) move Up through any of ther 25 banks in the

RP-12 and will allow you to bypass all the effect functions of the

RP-12 by pressing the footswitch down. When the RP-12 is in

Bypass mode, the instrument sound is passed directly from the

input to the outputs without effects. The Bank Down/Tuner Switch

(bottom row, far right) allows you to move down through any of the

25 banks, by pressing, or access the tuner by pressing and holding

the footswitch.

RP-12 Owner’s Manual

82) Display Window - The display window shows all current operating

and programming information and is comprised of several parts: the

LCD display, the input level meter, the Program number indicator,

and DSP Clip indicator LEDs. The LCD display shows all Program

names, Parameters and Parameter values, and is the communica-

tion interface between you and the RP-12. The input level meter

monitors the level of the signal entering the digital section. In the

Program number indicator window you will find the currently select-

ed Program number. This changes as you scroll through the avail-

able Programs. The functions of the Input Level Meter and DSP Clip

indicator LEDs are as follows:

• Input Level Meter - Displays the strength of the signal after the

preamp section in 6 dB steps, entering the digital section.

• DSP Clip - Indicates digital information overflow in the processor.

When lit, distortion may be heard in the output signal. The guide-

line for this indicator is:

let your ears be the judge

. If this indica-

tor lights regularly and no audible distortion is present, it can be

ignored. If distortion is audible in the output signal, one or more

of the internal analog effects levels or the DSP Master level in the

Program must be turned down to eliminate the problem.

3) Program Buttons - The Program <UP> and <DOWN> keys allow

you to scroll through the RP-12’s effects Programs. The <STORE>

key allows you to store a Program in memory for later recall. The

<COMPARE> key allows comparison of an edited Program with the

original unedited version before it is stored.

4) Parameter Buttons - The Parameter keys perform several different

functions. When the Program Title is displayed, the <UP> and

<DOWN> Parameter keys do nothing. The <RIGHT> key will move

you to the algorithm section, through the modules of the algorithm

and into the parameters of the program. The <LEFT> key moves

you in the opposite direction (see the diagram on page 12 for further

explanation). Once you have accessed the algorithm screen or

parameter screen with the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> parameter keys,

the <UP> and <DOWN> keys allow you to increase or decrease the

displayed values.

5) Effects Library Buttons - This group of buttons allows you to jump

directly to the first Parameter of Modules in the currently selected

Algorithm. The buttons in this group are: <COMP>, <DIST>, <EQ>,

<REVERB>, <DLY/SMP>, <PITCH>, <MOD>, <MIX>, and

<MORE>. Also included in this section and sharing buttons with the

<MOD>, <MIX>, and <MORE> buttons are the Function keys (indi-

cated by ¡, ™,and £) which act as menu selection keys in the Utility,

MIDI, and Naming menus.

6) Global Buttons - These buttons perform global functions. Some of
