LUMINARY presets
LUMINARY OCTAVE GENERATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL The Luminary is a powerful polyphonic quad octave generator with many useful features for creating inspiring symphonic goodness. With the ability to dial in any combination of four separate octaves including -2, -1, +1, +2, you are able to craft many different complex sounds and textures. The Luminary has three on board presets available for saving your go-to sounds, as well as live mode. This means you can have up to four unique sounds available at any moment. Get epic steel-like sounds with the modulation parameters unengaged. You’ll find more experimental options with the filter control or seasick vibrato with the flutter knob. Couple the Luminary with an expression pedal to expand its creativity even more.

FOOT SWITCHES
Preset Switch – The Luminary has the ability to store three unique presets, as well as operate in live mode. The three presets are indicated by a red, green, or blue color on the preset LED. Live mode is indicated by the preset LED being off. Press this switch to scroll through the three available presets as well as live mode. To save a preset, first scroll to the color you would like to save a preset to. Next set all knobs to the desired settings. Finally hold down the preset switch until the flashing LED turns solid. Those settings are now saved to the color you started with. Live mode reads the current position of all 8 knobs. Once you have saved three presets, you can set the knobs to a 4th setting and access that sound by scrolling to live mode (preset LED off) with the preset switch. This essentially gives you four presets that can be recalled with the press of a button. Bypass Switch - Press switch to turn on (effect mode) and again to turn off (bypass mode).

SETTING PRESETS
1/4 inch TRS jack for connecting a standard expression pedal. The Luminary has five internal dip switches that let you divert control of certain knobs to an expression pedal. Each dip switch corresponds with a specific knob, or combination of knobs. You can turn on any combination of dip switches you like. The knobs associated with each dip switch are listed below.
The Luminary has the ability to store three unique presets, as well as live mode. The three presets are indicated by a red, green, or blue color on the preset LED. Live mode is indicated by the preset LED being off. Press this switch to scroll through the 3 available presets as well as live mode. To save a preset, first scroll to the color you would like to save a preset to. Next set all knobs to the desired settings. Finally hold down the preset switch until the flashing LED turns solid. Those settings are now saved to the color you started with. Live mode reads the current positon of all 8 knobs. Once you have saved three presets, you can set the knobs to a 4th setting and access that sound by scrolling to live mode (preset LED off) with the preset switch. This essentially gives you four presets that can be recalled with the press of a button.

Dip switch for expression options
To use the expression pedal, first unplug the Luminary from power. Remove the four back plate screws. Use a pen or small screwdriver to switch the dip switches corresponding to the knobs you would like the expression pedal to control. Replace the back plate and four screws. With the power still disconnected, plug in the expression pedal, and then plug in the power cord. You now have control via the expression pedal of the knobs corresponding to the dip switches you turned on. The expression pedal will control the selected knobs regardless of which preset you are using. Never plug or unplug the expression pedal with the power connected.
