 Modes

The Ocean Machine has two main operation modes to allow the
device to be used in different ways.

PLAY Mode - In this mode the Ocean machine operates like a

tradition effects pedal and every basic effect parameter value
is the same as that of it's corresponding control knob.

PATCH Mode - In this mode the Ocean machine recalls saved

presets and all basic effect parameter values will be the same
as the recalled preset until adjusted via their corresponding
control knob.

Press the Preset button to change the mode of operation.

04
 Play Mode

Ocean Machine will boot directly to Play mode by default when powered on. In this mode the
ocean machine will operate like a traditional stompbox. All basic effect parameters are depicted
directly by the values of the physical control knobs.

Reverb/DelayB/DelayA
Depressing any of these footswitches once will turn on or turn off it's respective effect.
Holding down any of these footswitches while it's respective effect is turned on will put
the effect into a state of infinite feedback until the footswitch is released.

TAP Tempo
Simultaneously depress the Reverb and DelayB footswitches to access tap tempo control.
You will then have a few seconds to tap your desired tempo.

Reverb footswitch = master tap tempo

Delay B footswitch = Delay B tempo
Delay A footswitch = Delay A tempo

Auto sub-division values can be set for each delay separately in the menu screen.

Effect Parameters
All of the basic effect parameters can be adjusted directly using their respective control knobs.
More effect parameters, tempo sub-divisions, ping pong, effects chain, etc. can all be edited
and adjusted within the menu screen.

Master Mix

Rotate the Menu control when nothing is selected within the menu screen to adjust the master
output effect mix of the ocean machine.
