This is a very nice demo!


That is an outstanding demo. I'd like to find that kind of demo for the SY-300...

Yes, it was enough to convince me to order one!

Is this actually a firmware upgrade or is it a new version of the same product?

That might be worth buying now. Or should I wait for a simular upgrade for the sy 300 delays.

Oh and maybe they'll add an actual gr 300 waveform model to the sy300.

DD-500: SET UP TAP TEMPO FUNCTION ON AN EXTERNAL FOOTSWITCH.
Back to Results

If you wish to use the TAP/CTL switch for a third Delay preset in a DD-500 preset Bank instead of Tap Tempo, you can use an external footswitch to control Tap Tempo.

To do this:

1. Press EDIT.


2. Use the Up/Down Arrow buttons to select CONTROL.


3. Press EDIT.


4. Press Down Arrow to select CTL1 FUNC:


5. Turn the TIME/VALUE knob to select the TAP option.


6. To determine whether this will be a a global footswitch assignment, or

    patch-based, press Down Arrow until CTL1 PREF: is selected.


7a. If you want the assignment to be Patch based, so it only applies to the patch

     you configured, leave this preference set to PATCH and WRITE the changes

     you've made to the Preset by pressing EXIT and EDIT together, then press EDIT

     once.



7b. If you desire it to affect all patches equally, turn the TIME/VALUE knob to select 

      the SYSTEM option, then press EXIT twice.

Wanted to give people a heads up that I have set up a GitHub repository for patchsets for the BOSS 500 series pedals. I had previously mentioned it in the DD-500 and its corollary beginner thread, but with the recent addition of MD-500 configurations, thought I'd share it more widely.

The repo can be browsed at https://github.com/gantbd/BOSS, and if you're on a Mac or have git already installed on windows, you can clone it by opening a terminal and running "git clone https://github.com/gantbd/BOSS.git".

Please feel free to submit PRs (if you're so inclined) to improve the content, or reach out if you have any questions.

Cheers!

Boss DD-500 Manual: http://1drv.ms/1i2Awj5  (I looked but I don't think that anyone has posted this link or anything similar here.)

(This was originally uploaded and the link originally posted by "Guitarist1969" at The Gear Page, on http://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/boss-dd-500-questions-tips-tricks-and-solutions.1614316/page-2 - so big thanks to him.)

I was very interested in this until I looked at the manual and (as far as I can tell) saw that the LFO waveshape had only sine, triangle, saw. I am still interested but the lack of a square wave, like the Korg SDD3000 or Pigtronix Echolution 2, is a problem.  (Edit: the "square wave" in the Echolution 2 is not actually a square wave. I don't what kind of waveform it is, but I know what it isn't, and it isn't a square wave. This is very unfortunate, as far as I am concerned.)

Kind of disappointing. I will still be looking into this, though. It still seems to be very capable, and reasonably priced.

Describe a case use for Delay with square wave modulation?

How does one access or use the C patch area? It is greyed and cannot move patches to it and make work. Is there a trick to this?

and btw this to me is the single best pedal delay on market I have used, has enough parameters but not a sinking ship of them.

I recently bought the DD-500 and the RV-500 but I have never used the editor. Would it be possible to use an expression pedal to control the dry mix?

Boss does claim in one of their product support videos:

"ANY parameter in the DD-500 can be controlled using footswitches, expression pedals and/or the internal LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)"



Now, I don't know what the "LFO" is or what they mean by that but they do clearly say that "ANY parameter" can be controlled using an expression pedal. Then the dry mix should be no problem, right?
