filled with liquid, such as vases, on or near the apparatus.

Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer.

■

• Do not open the enclosure. There are no user repairable parts inside. Leave service and repairs to

trained service personnel only.

AUDIO OUTPUTS WARNING !

• Always mute or turn down the volumes before connecting any equipment to the audio or

headphone outputs. • The apparatus is capable of outputting loud signals via the audio and

headphone outputs. These volume levels may damage your gear. Verify that the output volume is set

to a level that your equipment can handle. • High volume levels may damage your hearing, please

protect your hearing by paying attention to the output volume.

ensure that curtains and other objects do not prevent adapter ventilation.

Overview

The wireframe images below expose the controls and inputs/outputs that the MOD Duo X has.

Device features

Inputs and outputs

Inputs jacks

The MOD Duo has two independent audio inputs, with configurable input gain for each input. You

can set up the input gain through the device menu.

Expression/CC Input

Output jacks

The MOD Duo has two independent audio outputs, with configurable output gain for each outut. You

can set up the output gain through the device menu.

Headphone/CC jack

The headphone output on the MOD Duo monitors output 1 and 2. It is possible to set the volume

level of the headphone output through the device menu.

Power jack

The MOD Duo comes with its own approved power supply which outputs 12V, 2A over a center-

positive barrel-type plug.

TODO: Add plug dimensions, minimum power requirements

The power consumption of the MOD Duo varies depending on the peripherals connected to the

device. For example: Hooking up a USB-hub to the USB-A port, and then hooking up multiple MIDI

controllers to the hub will change the power requirements. By using the provided power supply you

are sure that you will never run out of juice.

Control Chain port

TODO: explain use for CC, advantage over MIDI

NOTE: Please do NOT connect this port to a regular Ethernet port, it can damage your MOD Duo.

USB Host port

In the most common scenario, this port is used to hook up a single USB-MIDI device, such as a MIDI-

keyboard to control generator plugins.

Another common scenario is using this port to hook up a Bluetooth dongle for wireless connection to

your PC.

NOTE: The port can also be split up into multiple ports using a USB-hub for connecting multiple

USB devices to the MOD Duo.

USB computer port

This port is mostly used to connect the MOD Duo to your PC for setting it up. When executing a

manual system update, its use changes to a mass-storage device, so that you can copy the update-file

to the MOD Duo.

DIN-MIDI I/O

Finally, the MOD Duo also supports old-school DIN-MIDI devices, simply hook up your DIN-MIDI

device to the appropriate port on the back and enjoy!

such as a bypass switch, enumerators and tap tempo parameters. See how to assign plugin

parameters to actuators.

Performance buttons

On the top center of the Duo X, there are three performance buttons.

Instant snapshots

The left and right buttons are the instant snapshots buttons, that allow you to create and load

snapshots of your current state on the fly. See the Instant Snapshots section below to learn how to

use them.

Pagination

The button on the center is the pagination button that allows you to switch between 3 different

pages holding different controls for all actuators. See the Switching Pages section below to learn

how to use it.

Displays

The MOD Duo X has two large (2.8") LCD displays. The displays normally give dynamic information

about the actions mapped to the device actuators, but they are also used for displaying the device

menu and tuner.

Each part of the display corresponds to one of the actuators. (See image on the right)

How each section of the screen maps to each actuator

Left Display

The top section of the left display shows the Current Pedalboard name.

The section just below it shows the control mapped to the left endless knob.

The four following sections represent the four knobs.

The bottom section represents the two left buttons. Notice that the background color changes to

identify the parameter status.

Right Display

The top section of the right display shows the Master Volume. The Master Volume can be adjusted

by pressing and holding the right endless knob. See more information in the Adjusting Volumes

section.

The rest of the sections represent each actuator in the same way as in the left display, but mapping

to the knobs and button on the right.

Dimensions

LED Audio meters

The LED colors represent the following input levels:

Off: below -30dB

■

Green: between -30dB and -12dB

■

Yellow: between -12dB and -3dB

■

Red: above -3dB

■

Blinking strong red: 0dB (CLIPPING!)

Adjusting Volumes

Detail of the right display showing the Master Volume

To adjust the Master output volume, press and hold the right endless knob. This will turn this knob

into the master output volume control.

Press and hold it again to exit this mode.

The MOD Duo X also allows each input and output volume to be individually adjusted.

Please refer to the Inputs and Outputs Device Settings section in the wiki for more information on

that.

Tuning

The MOD Duo X has a built-in chromatic tuner that can be accessed by pressing and holding the

right knob for one second. Both inputs can be used as the tuner input, to select between them short

press the right knob. To exit the tuner press and hold the right knob for one second.

If you see a question mark on the tuner screen, it means the MOD Duo is not receiving any input or

the input levels are too low.

Please refer to the Tuner section in the Device Settings page for more information.

Playing

After you have powered on and adjusted the volumes of your MOD Duo X, it is ready for playtime.

The MOD Duo X comes with many pedalboards ready to be used. They are organized in banks and

can be accessed via SETTINGS menu.

Please refer to the Banks section on the Device Settings page for more information.

When you load a pedalboard, all plugin parameters will have the last saved state. You can save a

new state or restore the last saved state using the Settings > Current Pedalboard menu.

Instant Snapshots

While performing, you can create and load snapshots of your configuration on the fly. This will

save/restore all parameters of all knobs, encoders and buttons that are controlling plugin

parameters.

There are two Instant Snapshots buttons you can use. They are the most left and right buttons at the

top center part of the Duo X panel.

IMAGE: Details showing the position of the Instant snapshot buttons

Press and hold an Instant snapshot button for a second to save a new Snapshot. The button will

quickly blink and then the light will turn on. When the light is ON, it means there is an Instant

Snapshot saved and ready to be loaded. Quickly press the button to reset your device to the state of

the saved snapshot.

Switching pages

Note: The animation above does not show it in details, but Buttons and Endless knobs are

also paginated.

Duo X allows you to switch between 3 pages of settings. This means that the 8 knobs, 2 endless

knobs and 4 buttons are actually 24 knobs, 6 endless knobs and 12 buttons. When you address a

plugin parameter to a Duo X actuator, you can choose in which page you want to address the

parameter to.

IMAGE: screenshot: detail of the address interface in the GUI showing the 3 pages of actuators.

The pagination button is the central of the 3 top buttons in the Duo X panel. It's light indicate the

current selected page:

1st page: red
