Antares AVP1 Hardware user manual

•If the footswitch is set to control Main Bypass, all other assignments are
ignored
•If the footswitch is set to Increment Preset and one or more of the
module ON/OFF functions, each time you press the footswitch the AVP
will advance to the next Preset and the ON/OFF state of the assigned
module(s) will be toggled. Hence, alternate presets will have the
selected modules ON, then OFF, then ON, etc.
NOTE: It’s generally not a good idea to plug in a footswitch while the
AVP is powered up. While it will...

 For MIDI Dump
All Presets Only
This selection saves all of the AVP’s presets. When this file is loaded back
into your AVP, it will replace all of the AVP’s presets with the contents of
the file, but will leave the current Setup data unchanged.
 For MIDI Dump
Setup Data Only
This selection saves only the AVP’s Setup data. When this file is loaded
back into your AVP, it will replace the current Setup data with the con-
tents of the file, and will leave all presets unchanged.

MIDI Preset Restore Enable Page
This page allows you to either enable or disable the AVP’s ability to receive
MIDI SysEx messages.
Enable MIDI SysEx
Reception: NO
When NO is selected, the AVP will ignore all MIDI SysEx messages.
When Yes is selected, the AVP will respond to any valid AVP SysEx files
created with the MIDI Preset Dump function described above.
To restore a previously saved file, select Yes on the above page and
ensure that the MIDI Out on your sequencer or computer is connected to

If this happens to you, check to be sure that you have sent the AVP the
correct file from your sequencer.
Restore Factory Presets Page
 to restore
## Preset Name
If you have edited or replaced any of the factory presets and wish to
restore one or more of them, use the Data Knob to select the desired
factory preset.  If you scroll to the end of the factory preset list you will
see the additional choice:
 to restore
Restore all Presets
Once you have made your selection,...

In either case, once the restore is completed, you will see the following
screen for a few seconds:
  Factory Presets

and then you will be returned to the initial Restore Presets page.
LCD Contrast Page

The LCD Contrast parameter lets you set the maximum display contrast for
your viewing angle. Use the Data Knob to select the value that provides
the greatest contrast between the display text and the background.

The Preset number and Preset name will initially be the number and name
of the original preset you were editing (i.e., the Preset Name will be the
original name of the preset). If you want to overwrite that preset with
your newly edited version, press Save. Otherwise, use the Data Knob to
select another preset location and then press Save. In either case you will
see a brief message confirming that your preset was saved and will then
be returned to whichever screen you were on immediately before...

If your mic is not listed, select the generic mic category that best describes
your mic. Generic mic categories include:
Hand-held Dynamic
Studio Dynamic
Wireless
Small Diaphragm Condenser
Large Diaphragm Condenser
Additionally, the list offers a selection called “Bypass.” When Bypass is
selected, the source signal is passed unmodified to the Modeled Mic
section. You should select Bypass when your source was not recorded with
a microphone (e.g., guitar via direct box, direct synth input, etc.).
NOTE:...

42
•If the correct source mic is selected in the Source Mic list and Bypass is
selected in the Modeled Mic list, the final output of the Mic Modeler
module will be stripped of the characteristics of the source mic, result-
ing in the signal that would have been recorded by an instrumentation
microphone with no proximity effect.
•If Bypass is selected in the Source Mic list and Bypass is selected in the
Modeled Mic list, the final output of the Mic Modeler module will be
identical to the original input...

43
Source Mic Proximity
Use the Data Knob to set the average distance that separated the mic and
the signal source during the recording of the audio. Or select OFF to
preserve the source recording’s actual proximity effect (if any).
The purpose of this control is to remove any Proximity Effect that may
have been introduced by the source mic.
NOTE: Proximity Effect is a boost in bass frequencies resulting from
placing a directional mic  in close proximity to a signal source. The
amount of the effect is...

44
NOTE: A secondary effect of mic-to-source distance is the extent to
which environmental ambience is picked up by a mic.  For example, as a
mic is moved away from the source, the proximity effect decreases, but
the amount of “room tone” increases (assuming that you are not in an
anechoic chamber). The AVP does not model this effect. However,
judicious use of the Proximity control in combination with some appro-
priately programmed reverb will allow you to create the same effect,
with the additional...
