1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron Replifex guitar effects
processor! The Replifex is a 24-bit DSP processor providing a host of high
quality digital effects, as well as a number of practical features to enhance any
guitar rig.
Preset Spillover allows for reverb and delays from a current preset to
carry over into the next preset and continue decaying when a new
preset has been selected.
Dual Channel Switching allows for programmable channel switching
of amp heads, combo amps or preamps and eliminates the need for a
separate channel switching device.
Real Time Control of delay times and modulation rates through tap
tempo and rate parameters. Delay times and modulation rates can be
changed instantly by tapping either a momentary footswitch or the front
panel Tap Delay/Rate parameter.
High quality digital effects include chorus, delay, auto pan, tremolo,
rotating speaker, pitch shift, flanged reverb and phaser effects
HUSH® noise reduction operates only on incoming preamp noise, and
does not affect the digital effects – which are already ultra quiet.
Also provides compression, a four band full parameteric EQ and
complete mixing capabilities.
For a thorough explanation of the Replifex and all its features, please read this
manual carefully and keep it for future reference. After removing the Replifex from
the box, save all the packing materials in case it becomes necessary lo ship the unit.

3. FRONT PANEL
1. POWER switch
2. CONFIG button/led
This button briefly displays which configuration the current preset
uses. After displaying the configuration, the Replifex will display
the current preset number and title.
3. PRESET control
This control scrolls through and instantly recalls the successive
presets.
4. TAP DELAY/RATE button
This button is used to select a new delay time or modulation rate
based on the length of time occurring between two taps. see “Tap Delay” for more information.
5. DISPLAY panel
The DISPLAY panel provides 16 characters consisting of 14
segments each.
6. COMPARE button
The COMPARE button may be used to compare an altered
parameter value to its stored value.
Note: If Comparing an altered value to the stored value and the stored value is currently
being viewed, turning a knob or pressing a button that changes the parameter value
displayed will cancel the previous altered value. This will also occur if a MIDI
control change is received while viewing the stored value(s).
7. PARAMETER ADJUST control
This control is used to adjust the displayed parameter value. When
the parameter is altered from its stored value, the LED above the
STORE button will light until either (a) the new value is stored, (b)
a new preset is selected or (c) the parameter is returned to its
original value.
8. STORE button/led
This button is used to store parameter values into the Replifex
memory when altered. See “Storing Changed Preset Parameters”
for more information on this procedure.
9. PARAMETER SELECT control
When adjusting parameter values, this control will scroll through
the available parameters under the current function heading.
In the “Title Edit” function, this control will scroll through the
character locations to be edited.
10. FUNCTION SELECT control
This control allows access to each function of the Replifex. These
functions include;
Global Delay Chorus Channel Switches MIDI Channels
Mixer Reverb Pitch Shift Title Edit MIDI Dump/Load
HUSH Tremolo Rotary Speaker Controller Assign Factory Restore
Compressor Phaser Auto Pan Copy Remote Control
EQ Flanger Speaker Sim Program Changes Config Select
11. BYPASS button/led
When lit, the effects are bypassed and only the input signal is
passed to the Replifex outputs.
12. INPUT LEVEL meter
These LEDs provide visual indication of the peak level of the input
signal when the preset number and title are displayed. For the
optimal signal-to-noise ratio, it is best to adjust the input level so
that the last LED (0dB) is rarely lit. This will guard against the
possibility of overdriving the unit.
These LEDs also display the final digital mixer output levels when
any other functions are displayed. This will help you to guard
against clipping the output of the mixer at the digital-to-analog
converter.
13. INPUT LEVEL control
This control adjusts the units gain to match the signal level at the
input of the Replifex. Use the INPUT LEVEL meter to determine
the setting of this control.
14. OUTPUT LEVEL control and CLIP LED
This control is used to adjust the overall output level of the unit.
The CLIP L.E.D. is part of the output section and, when lit, indicates
that the final analog output is being overdriven due to the Effects
Level, direct Level and Output Level being set too high. If this
should occur, reduce these levels until the L.E.D. does not light.
15. REFERENCE switch
This switch adjusts the output range of the unit and may be set at
either -10dB or +4dB. When using the Rcplifex with professional
studio equipment providing a nominal input level of +4dB, it is
recommended that the +4 setting is used for best results. If the
Replifex is to be connected to a high sensistivity input, such as the
input to a guitar amp, the -10 setting should be used.

4. REAR PANEL
1. Left and Right INPUT jacks
These 1/4″ mono jacks provide inputs to the left and right channels
of the Replifex. When using only one input, the Right (R) jack
should be used.
2. Left and Right OUTPUT jacks
These 1/4″ mono jacks provide outputs from the left and right
channels of the Replifex.
When using a mono input (Right channel INPUT jack) and a mono
output (either OUTPUT jack), the left and right effected signals
will be summed at the single output.
3. Tap Delay/Rate FOOTSWITCH jack
This 1/4″ mono jack is provided for the connection of a momentary
footswitch to control the Tap Delay feature of the Replifex.
4. CHANNEL SWITCH jack
This 1/4″ stereo jack can be connected to the channel switching
footswitch jack on an amplifier or preamp. This allows for
programmable channel switching directly from the Replifex.
5. PHANTOM POWER jack
This 2.5mm PIN jack offers the ability to power Rocktron MIDI
foot controllers from a 7-pin MIDI cable which connects from the
Rocktron MIDI foot controller to the MIDI IN jack on the rear
panel of the Replifex. This eliminates the need to find an AC
outlet near where the footpedal would be placed during a performance,
or the need to run an extension cord out to the foolswitch.
Instead of inserting the AC adaptor into the “POWER” jack of the
footswitch as you would normally, plug it into the “PHANTOM
POWER” jack on the Replifex. This will power the Rocktron
MIDI foot controller through pins 6 and 7 of the MIDI cable
connecting the two units. A 7-pin MIIDI cable must be used and is
available from your Rocktron dealer.
6. MIDI IN/REMOTE jack
This 7-pin DIN connector must be connected to the MIIDI OUT
jack of the transmitting MIDI device via a standard MIDI cable, or
to the MIDI THRU jack of the preceding MIDI device (if the
Replifex is within a chain of MIDI devices). Pins 6 and 7 of this
connector carry phantom power to power a Rocktron MIDI foot
controller when a 7-pin MIDI cable is used.
This connector is also provided for the connection of a Rocktron
All Access MIDI footswitch, which can be configured as a
dedicated remote footswitch for the Replifex. This feature allows
the user to access Replifex functions and parameters via the
remote footswitch.
7. MIDI THRU/OUT jack
This standard 5-pin DIN connector can be connected to the MIDI
IN jack of another device via a standard MIDI cable. There are
limitations to the number of devices that can be chained (or series
connected) in this fashion.
Note: Inherently in MIDI there is a limit to the number of devices which
can be chained together (connected in series). With more than 3 devices,
a slight distortion of the MIDI signal can occur (due to signal degradation)
which can cause an error in MIDI signal transmission. Should this
problem arise, a MIDI Thru box can be used which connects directly to the
MIDI device which transmits MIDI information and has multiple
connectors for the multiple devices receiving MIDI. MIDI cables should not
exceed 50 feet (15 meters) in length.
8. POWER jack
This 2.5mm pin jack accepts power from the 9VAC adaptor
supplied with the unit.

6. OPERATING FORMAT
The Replifex provides 128 stored sounds called presets. Any of the 128 presets
can be called up at any time via the front panel PRESET control (used to both
select and recall a preset).
The root of each preset’s sound is its configuration. The Replifex provides
two main effect configurations – the Classic configuration and the Rotary configuration.
Each configuration provides a different selection of available effects.
Classic configuration provides these effects:
HUSH® Reverb Delay
Parametric EQ Compression Phaser
Flanger Tremolo Pitch Shift
Chorus Auto Pan Speaker Simulator
Rotary configuration provides these effects:
HUSH® Reverb Speaker Simulator
Parametric EQ Compression
Rotary Speaker Delay
Any of the effects provided within a particular configuration may be
switched in or out for each preset.
To see which configuration a given preset is utilizing, press the CONFIG
button on the front panel of the Replifex – the display will show which configuration
(“Classic” or “Rotary”) is active for the current preset. The configuration
type is displayed for a few seconds before returning to the current preset number
and title.
The block diagrams below illustrate the basic signal path for
each configuration. Click to see the block diagrams.

Replifex Functions and Parameter Descriptions
Each Replifex preset is divided into individual blocks called functions (such
as “Mixer”, “Reverb”, etc.). Within each function is a set of controls which allow you
to manipulate various aspects of that function. These controls are called parameters. The setting of
each of the parameters determines the overall sound of each
Replifex preset.
The Replifex user interface is set up to allow you to first access each function
(via the FUNCTION SELECT control), then the list of available parameters for the
selected function (via the PARAMETER SELECT control) and, finally, the adjustable
value for each parameter (via the PARAMETER ADJUST control).
The remainder of this section will discuss each of the effect-based functions
and the associated adjustable parameters that they provide. Functions not discussed in this
section are utility-based, and are described in Section 7, “Operating the Replifex”.
Back to CONTENTS
GLOBAL Function
The first function displayed when turning the FUNCTION SELECT control is
the Global function. The parameters provided in this function affect all presets
(i.e. the settings stored for these parameters are the same for all presets).
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following
Global parameters:
OUTPUT The OUTPUT parameter determines whether the output of the
Replifex is a stereo (left and right) signal or two mono signals.
HUSH OFFSET The HUSH OFFSET parameter allows you to globally (all presets)
adjust the HUSH® Expander Threshold. This means that if this parameter is
altered from 0dB to +3dB, the Expander Threshold will be 3dB
higher for all presets. This feature can be useful when switching from a
quiet guitar with passive electronics to a noisy guitar with active
electronics – as the active guitar would require a higher Threshold level
in all presets.
MUTE The MUTE parameter allows you to mute the output of the Replifex.
This feature is especially useful when changing guitars during a live set.
If a Rocktron All Access is used in remote mode with the Replifex, a
single All Access button will be dedicated to mute the output of the
Replifex when it is held down. (See “Using the Replifex with a Rocktron All Access in REMOTE mode”
for more information.)
DIRECT The DIRECT parameter determines whether the direct signal is
switched in or out of the signal path. When using the Replifex in
applications where the unit is connected in parallel, it is recommended
that the direct signal is switched out – thereby providing 100% wet
(effect) output.
Back to CONTENTS
MIXER Function
The next function displayed when turning the FUNCTION SELECT control is
the Mixer function. The Mixer function parameters are included in all presets –
regardless of which effects are active for the current preset – although the parameter values stored
in this function are only for the currently recalled preset.
This digital mixer allows you to control the signal levels pertaining to each
preset’s configuration and stores those levels for each preset.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow your to access each of the following
Mixer parameters:
LEFT DIR The LEFT DIRECT parameter determines the level of the direct signal
of the current preset at the left Output.
RIGHT DIR The RIGHT DIRECT parameter determines the level of the direct
signal of the current preset at the right output.
EFFECT LEVEL The EFFECT LEVEL parameter determines the volume of the overall
effect signal (Chorus, Flange, Pitch Shift, etc.) level.
DIRECT The DIRECT parameter determines whether the direct signal is
pre-HUSH or post-HUSH. When set to pre-HUSH, the direct signal is not
passed through the HUSH circuitry, or any other digital circuitry (i.e.,
the direct signal remains analog from input to output. When set to
post-HUSH, the direct signal is passed through the digital HUSH circuitry.
PHS DIR/EFF
CHR DIR/EFF
FLN DIR/EFF
REV DIR/FFF These DIR/EFF parameters determine the amount of direct signal input
to each individual effect relative to the amount of effect signal. A
setting of “0” is 100% direct signal, while a setting of “100” is 100%
effect signal.
VOLUME The VOLUME pararneter determines the overall signal level of the
current preset.
Back to CONTENTS
HUSH Function
The HUSH® function is accessible in all presets – regardless of the configuration
currently recalled.
HUSH® is Hush Systems’ patented single-ended noise reduction system. The
HUSH system contained in the Replifex is a fully digital implementation of
HUSH achieved through Digital Signal Processing (DSP), and is modeled after the
latest HUSH design.
The low level expander of the HUSH system operates like an electronic
volume control. The analog version of the HUSH utilizes a voltage-controlled&127;
amplifier (VCA) circuit which can control the gain between the input and the
output from unity to 30, 40 or even 50dB of gain reduction. When the input
signal is above the user preset threshold point, the VCA circuit remains at unity
gain. (This means that the amplitude of the output signal will be equal to that of
the input signal.) As the input signal level drops below the user preset threshold
point, downward expansion begins. At this point the expander acts like an electronic volume
control and gradually begins to decrease the output signal level
relative to the input signal level. As the input signal drops further below the
threshold point, downward expansion increases. A drop in the input level by
20dB would cause the output level to drop approximately 40dB (i.e., 20dB of gain
reduction). in the absence of any input signal, the expander will reduce the gain
so that the noise floor becomes inaudible.
The HUSH circuit is located after the A/D converter in the signal chain to
reduce any noise generated from the guitar, any guitar preamp and the A/D
converter. This ensures a quiet input signal to the Replifex effects.
When the DIRECT HUSH parameter under the Mixer function is set to “Post”,
the direct signal is passed through the HUSH circuit. When set to “Pre”, the direct
signal remains analog and does not pass through the HUSH circuit.
The PARAMETER SELECT control wig allow you to access each of the following
Hush parameters:
HUSH I/O The HUSH I/O parameter determines whether the HUSH® circuit is
active or bypassed for the current preset.
EXP THRESH The EXPANDER THRESHOLD parameter determines the level at
which downward expansion begins. For example, if the EXPANDER
THRESHOLD was set at -20dB and the input signal dropped below
-20dB downward expansion would begin.
Back to CONTENTS
COMPRESSOR Function
Compression is often used to maintain an even level when using clean tones,
and is also used to increase sustain when using high gain distortion.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following
Compressor parameters:
COMPRESR I/O The COMPRESSOR I/O parameter determines whether the compression
circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset.
COMP THRESH The COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD parameter determines the input
level (in dB) at which compression will begin. Lower settings of this
parameter will result in more compression.
COMP ATTACK The COMPRESSOR ATTACK parameter determines the speed (in
milliseconds) at which the compressor will reach its maximum
compression level after the input signal has exceeded the threshold level (set
by the COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD parameter).
COMP RELEASE The COMPRESSOR RELEASE parameter determines the speed at
which compression will cease after the input signal has dropped below
the threshold level.
Back to CONTENTS
EQ Function
The EQ function provides full parametric control and allows you shape the
tone of the input signal before it reaches each of the effect blocks.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following
EQ parameters:
EQ I/O The EQ I/O parameter determines whether the EQ circuit is active or
bypassed for the current preset.
BASS LVL The BASS LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the low
frequencies by up to 15dB.
BASS FREQ The BASS FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a center
frequency between 63Hz and 500Hz to be cut or boosted by the BASS
LEVEL pararneter.
BASS BW The BASS BANDWIDTH parameter determines (in octaves) the width
of the selected bass band.
MID LVL The MID LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the mid band
frequencies by up to 15dB.
MID FREQ The MID FREQUENCY parameter determines a mid band center
frequency between 250Hz and 2KHz to be cut or boosted via the MID
LEVEL parameter.
MlD BW The MID BANDWIDTH parameter determines (in octaves) the width
of the selected mid band.
TREBLE LVL The TREBLE LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the high
band frequencies by up to 15dB.
TREBL FREQ The TREBLE FREQUENCY parameter determines a high band center
frequency between 1 KHz and 8KHz to be cut or boosted via the
TREBLE LEVEL parameter.
TREBLE BW The TREBLE BANDWIDTH parameter determines (in octaves) the
width of the selected high band.
PRESENCE LVL The PRESENCE LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost an
additional high band frequency by up to 15dB.
PRES FREQ The PRESENCE FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a high
band center frequency between 2KHz and 8KHz to be cut or boosted
via the PRESENCE LEVEL parameter.
PRES BW The PRESENCE BANDWIDTH parameter determines (in octaves) the
width of the selected high band.
Back to CONTENTS
DELAY Function
Delay provides a reproduction of the input signal, occurring at a prescribed
time (usually expressed in milliseconds) following the input signal. The Replifex
provides two discrete delays (Delay 1 and Delay 2), each of which has its own set
of parameters to determine its particular characteristics.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following
Delay parameters:
DELAY I/O The DELAY I/O parameter determines whether the delay circuit is
active or bypassed for the current preset.
MUTE TYPE The MUTE TYPE parameter allows for muting the delay at its input
(PRE), its output (POST) or BOTH.
Muting the input (PRE) of the delay will not allow any signal to enter
the delay section until the delay is switched in. When using a moderate
amount of regeneration, switching out the delay with the input muted
will allow you to generate a non-delayed signal which will play over the
decaying regenerated signal which continues on after the delay is
switched out.
Muting the output (POST) of the delay will result in the delayed signal
being immediately turned off when the delay is switched out. This
means that delays and regeneration will not continue when the delay is
switched out. If the output were not muted, signals that were input
before the delay was switched out would be allowed to regenerate, even
after switching out the delay.
It is also possible to mute both the input and the output (BOTH) so that
no signal enters or exits the Delay section until it is switched in.
TIME1 The TIME1 parameter determines the multiplier by which a new delay
time will be selected for Delay Time 1 when the Tap Delay feature of
the Replifex is used. (See Section 7: “Tap Delay” for more information
on the Tap Delay feature.)
TIME2 The TIME2 parameter determines the multiplier by which a new delay
time will be selected for Delay Time 2 when the Tap Delay feature of
the Replifex is used. (See Section 7: “Tap Delay” for more information
on the Tap Delay feature.)
DELAY LVL The DELAY LEVEL parameter determines the overall level of the
delayed signal at the output of the Replifex.
D-MIX S1/S2 The D-MIX S1/S2 parameter defines the ratio of Source 1 signal to
Source 2 signal to be input to the Delay section. Source 1 is the Voice 1
output from the previous effect in the signal chain (chorus, flanger,
pitch shifter, etc.), while Source 2 may he the Voice 2 output from the
previous effect in the signal chain or the direct signal (selectable via the
SOURCE 2 parameter). (Refer to the block diagrams shown under “Operating Format”
for a visual representation of the input to the Delay section.)
SOURCE 2 This parameter is used to select whether the Source 2 input will be the
VOICE 2 output from the previous effect in the signal chain or the
direct signal. In configurations where there is no effect immediately
preceding the delay, both Source 1 and Source 2 will be the direct
Signal.
DLY HF DAMP The DELAY HIGH FREQUENCY DAMPING parameter controls the
amount of high frequency content in the delayed and regenerated
signals. Higher amounts of damping will result in less high frequency
information in the delayed signal.
DELAY OUT 1 The DELAY OUT 1 parameter determines the volume of Delay 1.
DLY PAN1 The DLY PAN1 parameter allows you to pan the Delay 1 signal to the
left or right channel.
DELAY TIME1 The DELAY TIME 1 parameter determines the length of time (in
milliseconds) after the input signal that the Delay 1 signal will begin.
The DELAY TIME can be adjusted via the PARAMETER ADJUST
control, MIDI controller changes or via the Tap Delay feature.
FINE 1 The FINE 1 parameter allows for adjustment of Delay 1 in 1
millisecond increments.
DLY RGN 1 The DLY RGN 1 parameter determines how many times the Delay 1
signal is fed back into the input and repeated.
DELAY OUT 2 The DELAY OUT 2 parameter determines the volume of Delay 2.
DLY PAN2 The DLY PAN2 parameter allows you to pan the Delay 2 signal to the
left or right channel.
DLY TIME2 The DELAY TIME2 parameter determines the length of time (in
milliseconds) after the input signal that the Delay 2 signal will begin.
The DELAY TIME can be adjusted via the PARAMETER ADJUST
control, MIDI controller changes or via the Tap Delay feature.
FINE 2 The FINE 2 parameter allows for adjustnzent of Delay 2 in 1
millisecond increments.
DLY RGN 2 The DLY RGN 2 parameter determines how many times the Delay 2
signal is fed back into the input and repeated.
D>SPILLOVER The SPILLOVER parameter determines whether delays from the
current preset will “spill over” into the next preset when it is recalled.
Note! When delays from the current preset are spilled
over into the next preset recalled (i.e. SPILLOVER “ON’), the delay parameters
for the new preset will he changed to match those of the previous preset (except
for the DELAY I/O and SPILLOVER parameters) – even if the Delay effect is switched “OUT” in the
previous preset.
The EFFECT LEVEL parameter in the next preset recalled does not change,
therefore delays spilled into it may be of higher or lower
volume – depending on the EFFECT LEVEL setting in each preset.
Also, recalling the same preset twice via MIDI will
cancel the Spillover effect and reset the new preset to its stored parameter values
(only when the SPILLOVER parameter in the recalled parameter is set “OFF”).
Back to CONTENTS
REVERB Function
Reverb is a multitude of echos spaced so close together that, to the human
ear, seem as a single continuous sound. These echos gradually decrease in
intensity until they are ultimately absorbed by the boundaries and obstacles
within a room. As the sound waves from the sound source strike the boundaries
of a room, a portion of the energy is reflected away from the obstacle while
another portion is absorbed into it – thereby causing both the continuance of
sound as well as the decaying or “dying out” of the sound.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following
Reverb parameters;
REV INPUT The REV INPUT parameter determines whether the reverb circuit is
active or bypassed for the current preset.
R-MIX EFF/DLY The R-MIX EFFECT/DELAY parameter is used to define the ratio of
direct signal to delayed signal to be input to the reverb section.
REVERB LVL The REVERB LEVEL parameter allows you to control the level of the
reverb signal at the output of the Replifex relative to the direct signal
and other effect signals.
REV DECAY The REVERB DECAY parameter determines the length of time that the
reverb signal will sound before it has completely died out.
REV HF DAMP The REVERB HIGH FREQUENCY DAMPING parameter is used to
control the decay rate of high frequency information in the reverb
signal. Higher parameter settings will result in a faster decay of high
frequency information.
R>SPILLOVER The REVERB SPILLOVER parameter determines whether reverbs generated
in the current preset will continue dccaying when the next preset is
recalled.When switched off, reverbs will be abrubtly cut off when the
next preset is recalled.
Note! When reverb from the current preset is spilled
over into the next preset recalled (SPILLOVER “ON”), the reverb
parameters for the new preset will be changed to match those of the previous
preset (except for the REV INPUT and SPILLOVER parameters) – even if the
Reverb effect itself is switched “OUT” in the previous preset.
The EFFECT LEVEL parameter in the next preset
recalled does not change, therefore reverb spilled to it may be of higher or lower
volume – depending on the EFFECT LEVEL setting in each preset.
Also, recalling the same preset twice via MIDI will
cancel the Spillover effect and reset the new preset to its stored parameter values
(only when the SPILLOVER parameter in the recalled parameter is set “OFF”).
Back to CONTENTS
TREMOLO Function
The Tremolo effect continuously varies the volume of the signal.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following
Tremolo parameters:
TREMOLO I/O The TREMOLO I/O parameter determines whether the tremolo circuit
is active or bypassed for the current preset.
LOCATION The LOCATION parameter determines whether the Tremolo is located
Pre-Reverb or Post-Reverb. Most vintage amplifiers used the tremolo in
a Post-reverb configuration.
TREM DPTH The TREMOLO DEPTH parameter determines the amount
of modulation for the Tremolo signal. Lower DEPTH settings produce more
subtle tremolo effects, while higher settings will result in a more
extreme tremolo effect.
TREM RATE The TREMOLO RATE parameter determines the speed at which the
tremolo signal modulates (or increases and decreases in volume).
SHAPE The SHAPE parameter determines the waveshape of the tremolo signal.
Selecting a different waveshape produces a different tremolo effect.
TIME The TIME parameter determines the multiplier by which a new
modulation rate will be selected for the RATE parameter when the Tap
Delay feature of the Replifex is used. (See Section 7: “Tap Delay” for
more information on the Tap Delay feature.)
Back to CONTENTS
PHASER Function
Phase shifting involves splitting the input signal into two signals, then shifting
the phase of different frequencies of one signal before mixing it back with the
original signal.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following
Phaser parameters:
PHASER I/O The PHASER I/O parameter determines whether the phase shift circuit
is active or bypassed for the current preset.
PSR PAN The PHASER PAN parameter allows you to pan the phase shifted
signal to the left or right channel by any amount.
PSR DEPTH The PHASER DEPTH parameter determines the modulation depth of
the phase shift effect. Higher parameter settings result in the sweep of
the filtering effect occurring over a wider frequency range.
RATE The RATE parameter determines the speed at which the phase shifted
signal is modulated.
P>RESONANCE The PHASER RESONANCE parameter adds feedback to the Phaser so
that it has a more pronounced effect.
PSR STAGES The PHASER STAGES parameter determines how many stages of
phase shift are to be active. A parameter setting of “4” produces a result
similar to a vintage Phase 90, while a setting of “6” emulates other
common phaser pedals.
TIME The TIME parameter determines the multiplier by which a new
modulation rate will be selected for the RATE parameter when the Tap
Delay feature of the Replifex is used (See Section 7. “Tap Delay” for
more information on the Tap Delay feature.)
PHASER LVL The PHASER LEVEL parameter allows you to control the level of the
phaser signal at the output of the Replifex relative to the direct signal
and other effect signals.

Flanging splits the input signal into two individual delayed signals (Voice 1 and Voice 2), then modulating the delayed signals so that, when summed back with the direct signal, phase cancellations will occur at some frequencies while peaks in the response will occur at others.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these FLANGER parameters:
FLANGER I/O The FLANGER I/O parameter determines whether the flange circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset.
FLN OUT 1 The FLANGER OUTPUT 1 parameter determines the overall volume of Voice 1.
FLN PAN1 The FLANGER PAN 1 parameter allows you to pan Voice 1 to the left or right channel.
FLN DPTH 1 The FLANGER DEPTH 1 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of Voice 1. Lower DEPTH settings produce more subtle effects, while higher settings will result in a more drastic effect.
FLN RATE 1 The FLANGER RATE 1 parameter determines the speed at which Voice 1 is modulated.
TIME1 The TIME1 parameter determines the multiplier by which a new modulation rate will be selected for the RATE 1 parameter when the Tap Delay feature of the Replifex is used. (See Section 7: “Tap Delay” for more information on the Tap Delay feature.)
FLN OUT 2 The FLANGER OUTPUT 2 parameter determines the overall volume of Voice 2.
FLN PAN2 The FLANGER PAN 2 parameter allows you to pan Voice 2 to the left or right channel.
FLN DPTH 2 The FLANGER DEPTH 2 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of Voice 2. Lower DEPTH settings produce more subtle effects, while higher settings will result in a more drastic effect.
FLN RATE 2 The FLANGER RATE 2 parameter determines the speed at which Voice 2 is modulated.
TIME2 The TIME2 parameter determines the multiplier by which a new modulation rate will be selected for the RATE 2 parameter when the Tap Delay feature of the Replifex is used. (See Section 7: “Tap Delay” for more information on the Tap Delay feature.)
FLN REGN The FLANGER REGENERATION parameter determines how much of the the delayed output signal is fed back into the input. More regeneration produces a more pronounced “jet airplane” type of effect.

CHORUS Function
The Chorus effect in the Replifex is produced by detuning two delayed signals (Voice 1 and Voice 2), then modulating the detune effect so that the amount of pitch detune is constantly varying. Using different detune amounts, modulation rates, modulation depths and pan settings for each delayed signal will produce a greater perceived spaciousness.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following Chorus parameters:
CHORUS I/O
The CHORUS I/O parameter determines whether the chorus circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset.
CRS OUT 1
The CHORUS OUTPUT 1 parameter determines the volume of Voice 1.
CRS PAN 1
This parameter allows you to pan Voice 1 to the left or right channel.
CRS DPTH 1
The CHORUS DEPTH 1 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of the Voice 1 signal. A lower depth setting will produce a more subtle detune effect, while a higher setting results in a more extreme detuning of Voice 1.
CRS RATE 1
The CHORUS RATE 1 parameter determines the sweep speed (or the speed at which Voice 1 is modulated).
CRS>DLY1
This parameter allows you to select the minimum delay time (in milliseconds) for Voice 1. This delayed signal (along with Voice 2) is detuned and modulated to produce the chorus effect. Using shorter delay times will result in a tighter sounding chorused signal, while longer delay times will produce a larger ambient effect.
TIME1
The TIME 1 parameter determines the multiplier by which a new modulation rate will be selected for the RATE 1 parameter when the Tap Delay feature of the Replifex is used.
CRS OUT 2
The CHORUS OUTPUT 2 parameter determines the volume of Voice 2.
CRS PAN 2
This parameter allows you to pan Voice 2 to the left or right channel.
CRS DPTH 2
The CHORUS DEPTH 2 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of the Voice 2 signal. A lower depth setting will produce a more subtle detune effect, while a higher setting will produce a more extreme detuning of Voice 2.
CRS RATE 2
The CHORUS RATE 2 parameter determines the sweep speed (or the speed at which Voice 2 is modulated).
CRS>DLY 2
This parameter allows you to select the minimum delay time (in milliseconds) for Voice 2. This delayed signal (along with Voice 1) is detuned and modulated to produce the chorus effect. Using shorter delay times will result in a tighter sounding chorused signal, while longer delay times will produce a larger ambient effect.
TIME2
The TIME 2 parameter determines the multiplier by which a new modulation rate will be selected for the RATE 2 parameter when the Tap Delay feature of the Replifex is used. (See Section 7: “Tap Delay” for more information on the Tap Delay feature.)

PITCH SHIFT Function
Pitch Shifting is used to change the pitch of the input signal to produce a harmony note based on the input signal. The harmony voice may be of any fixed interval – up to one octave above the input signal to two octaves below – and is selected in 20-cent increments. Fine adjustment can be made in one cent (1/100th semitone) increments.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following Pitch Shift parameters:
PITCH SH I/O
The PITCH SHIFT I/O parameter determines whether the pitch shift circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset.
PSHIFT OUT
The PITCH SHIFT OUTPUT parameter determines the volume of the pitch shifted signal. The DIR/EFF MIX parameter in the Mixer function also affects this volume.
PS PAN
The PITCH SHIFT PAN parameter allows you to pan the shifted signal to the left or right channel.
PITCH
The PITCH parameter selects what harmony note the Replifex will produce based on the input note. The value displayed for this parameter represents the number of cents that the signal will be shifted (adjustable in 20-cent increments). Each 100 cents (or five 20-cent steps) above or below “0” represents the number of half-steps the shifted signal will be from the input signal.
This parameter is adjustable from “-2400” to “+1200”, where “-2400” = two octaves below the input signal, “0” = unison and “+1200” = one octave above the input signal. Refer to the table on the following page to determine the cent value for each fixed interval.
FINE
The FINE parameter allows for adjustment in l-cent steps for fine adjustment of the harmony note.
PS-SPEED
The PITCH SHIFT SPEED parameter determines the amount of time delay used in the shifting process. SLOW results in the longest delay and the highest quality shifted signal (especially at larger amounts of pitch shift). FAST results in the least delay, but the lowest quality shifted signal. This setting should only be used for slight amounts of pitch shift.

AUTO PAN Function
The next function displayed when turning the FUNCTION SELECT control is the Auto Pan function. The Auto Pan effect auomatically pans between left and right when operating in stereo mode. (If operating in mono, the Auto Pan effect does not operate.)
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following Auto Pan parameters:
AUTO PAN I/O
The AUTO PAN I/O parameter determines whether the auto pan circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset.
LOCATION
The LOCATION parameter determines what part of the signal path is affected by Auto Pan – Direct Only, Effects Only or Both.
APAN RATE
The AUTO PAN RATE parameter determines the speed at which the signal is panned between the Left and Right channels.
APAN WIDTH
The AUTO PAN WIDTH parameter determines the intensity at which the signal is panned between the Left and Right channels.
TIME
The TIME parameter determines the multiplier by which a new modulation rate will be selected for the RATE parameter when the Tap Delay feature of the Replifex is used. (See Section 7: “Tap Delay” for more information on the Tap Delay feature.)

ROTARY SPEAKER Function
The next function displayed when turning the FUNCTION SELECT control is the Rotary Speaker function. The Rotary Speaker effect simulates the classic rotating speaker popular with guitarists and keyboard players. It is designed to mimic the characteristics of the classic mechanical rotating speaker with added versatility afforded by DSP.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following Rotary Speaker parameters:
ROTR SPK I/O
The ROTR SPK I/O parameter determines whether the simulated speaker is rotating or not.
ROT SPEED
The ROTATION SPEED parameter switches between the SLOW SPEED and FAST SPEED setting.
R>SPKR SLOW*
The ROTARY SPEAKER SLOW parameter sets the slow rotation speed. (The horn and rotor will rotate at slightly different speeds.)
R>SPKR FAST*
The ROTARY SPEAKER FAST parameter sets the fast rotation speed.
ROT SPK ACCEL
The ROTARY SPEAKER ACCELERATION parameter adjusts how long it takes to reach the FAST SPEED or SLOW SPEED setting of both the horn and the rotor. (The horn will accelerate faster than the rotor.)
ROT BAL
The BALANCE parameter adjusts the relative level of the rotor (lows) vs. the horn (highs).
* For added versatility when using continuous control, the SLOW SPEED and FAST SPEED parameters cover the same range (0 to 100). Therefore, it is possible to have a SLOW setting which is faster than the FAST setting.
Back to CONTENTS
SPEAKER SIMULATOR Function
The Speaker Simulator function provides a realistic approximation of a miked speaker cabinet for applications involving connecting the Replifex directly to a mixing console, recording system or other full range system.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following Speaker Simulator parameters:
SPKR SIM I/O
The SPEAKER SIMULATOR I/O parameter determines whether the speaker simulator circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset.
SPKR TYPE
The SPEAKER TYPE parameter determines the type of speaker to be simulated. 15″, 12″ 10″, 8″ and full range speakers are available.
MIC PLACEMENT
The MIC PLACEMENT parameter simulates a microphone placed anywhere from the center of the speaker cone out to the edge of the cone. Positive parameter values simulate moving the microphone toward the center of the speaker, while negative values move it to the edge.
REACTANCE
The REACTANCE parameter simulates the characteristics of the interaction between a tube amplifier and a guitar speaker cabinet. The higher the parameter value selected, the more these characteristics will be apparent. Negative values of reactance can be used to simulate an open-back cabinet.

Switching Channels on Amplifers and Preamps via the Replifex
The Replifex allows you to switch channels on an amplifier or preamp by connecting a RTS cord from the “CHANNEL SWITCH” jack on the rear of the Replifex to the “FOOTSWITCH” jack on the remote device(s). A single stereo-to-dual mono cord can also be used to connect from the Replifex to two separate units. This allows for channel switching to be programmable (i.e. switched automatically when a Replifex preset is recalled) instead of having to use a latching footswitch each time a channel needs to be switched. This function can also be performed through programming a continuous controller to the CHAN SW parameter(s). See page 41, “Controller Assignments” for more information on assigning continuous controllers.
The Tip of the “CHANNEL SWITCH” jack sends the change for Channel Switch 1, while the Ring of the “CHANNEL SWITCH” jack sends the change for Channel Switch 2. When Channel 1 is on, the Tip is connected to the Sleeve. When Channel 2 is on, the Ring is connected to the Sleeve. When Channels 1 and 2 are both off, the Tip and Ring are an open circuit with respect to the Sleeve.
Step 1
Turn the FUNCTION SELECT control to “CHANNEL SWITCHES”.
Step 2
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control one step clockwise to “CHAN SW 1”.
Step 3
Use the PARAMETER ADJUST control to select the on/off condition of Channel Switch 1. When switched “ON”, the channel connected to the Tip of the Replifex CHANNEL SWITCH jack will be switched when the current preset is recalled.
Step 4
Press the STORE button to save the condition of Channel Switch 1 (if changed). “STORED” will flash briefly on the display.
Step 5
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control one step further clockwise to “CHAN SW 2”.
Step 6
Use the PARAMETER ADJUST control to select the on/off condition of Channel Switch 2. When switched “ON”, the channel which is connected to the Ring of the Replifex CHANNEL SWITCH jack will be switched when the current preset is recalled.
Step 7
Press the STORE button to save the condition of Channel Switch 2 (if changed). “STORED” will flash briefly on the display.
* This feature was designed to operate with as many different amplifiers as possible. However, due to the large number of amplifiers available on the market, it cannot be guaranteed to be compatible with all amplifiers.

Editing a preset title
Step 1
To begin the Title Edit function, turn the FUNCTION SELECT control clockwise until the Replifex displays “TITLE EDIT”.
Step 2
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control clockwise to initiate the Title Edit mode. Turning this control will also select the character location to be edited. A flashing decimal will follow the character currently selected.
Step 3
Use the PARAMETER ADJUST control to select the desired character for the current position (flashing decimal).
Step 4
To edit the character in the next position, turn the PARAMETER SELECT control one step clockwise. The flashing decimal will move to the next character.
Step 5
After all the characters have been edited as needed, press the STORE button to save the new title memory. The Replifex will flash “STORED” briefly.
Note: The STORE button must be pressed to save the new title. Exiting the Title Edit function before pressing the STORE button will erase any editing that was done in Title Edit.

Controller Assignments
The Controller Assignment function allows for specific Replifex adjustable parameters to be mapped (or assigned)* to a MIDI controller for real-time control by an expression pedal.
The Controller Assignment option also lets you store an upper and lower parameter value limit which the controller cannot exceed. For example, when using an expression pedal with a Rocktron All Access or MIDI Mate footswitch to send continuous control changes to control the “PITCH” parameter, an upper limit of +300 can be set and a lower limit of -200 can be set – even though the actual parameter range is from +1200 to -2400. When the expression pedal is at its heel position in this example, the “PITCH” parameter will be at -200, while at its toe position it will be at +300. Up to ten controllers can be assigned for each individual preset.
Step 1
To access the Controller Assign function, turn the FUNCTION SELECT control clockwise to “CONTROLLER ASSIG”.
Step 2
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control for the first parameter of the Controller Assign function. This parameter allows you to select a controller number for the “CTR A” (Controller A) parameter to respond to.
This parameter (CTR A only) also gives you the option of selecting “ADJ”. When “ADJ” is selected, the parameter assigned to the first controller (PA-A) can be instantly accessed by turning the PARAMETER ADJUST control when the preset title is displayed. This allows you to access a parameter that you adjust frequently without paging through function headings and parameters.
Step 3
Use the PARAMETER ADJUST control to select the controller number to be assigned to the PA-A parameter. Any number from 0 to 120 may be selected, as well as OFF (will not respond to MIDI control changes). Match the number selected for this parameter with the controller number on the MIDI transmitter.
Step 4
After selecting the desired controller number, press the STORE button to save the number for the “CTR A” parameter. “STORED” will flash briefly on the display.
Step 5
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control one step clockwise to display the parameter that is currently mapped to the “CTR A” control number.
Step 6
Turn the PARAMETER ADJUST control to scroll through the available parameters for the current configuration.
Step 7
After selecting the parameter that you which to assign to a controller, press the STORE button to save it. The Replifex will flash “STORED” briefly.
Note: The Replifex allows you to select an upper and lower value limit which the parameter cannot exceed. For example, if a parameter has a value range from -oo to 0dB, yet you would like the range of the parameter to vary from only -12dB to -2dB, you may set a lower limit of -12 and an upper limit of -2 via the Upper and Lower Limit parameters. When a parameter is stored in the Controller Assign function (Step 7), the maximum parameter value is automatically stored as the upper limit, while the minimum value is stored as the lower limit.
Step 8
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control one step clockwise to display the Upper Limit parameter (for PA-A).
Step 9
Use the PARAMETER ADJUST control to choose the highest value that the parameter is not to exceed through MIDI control changes.
Step 10
After selecting a value for the upper limit, press the STORE button to save it. “STORED” will flash briefly on the display.
Step 11
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control one step clockwise to access the Lower Limit parameter (for PA-A).
Step 12
Use the PARAMETER ADJUST control to select the lowest value which the parameter is not to fall below through MIDI control changes.
Step 13
After selecting a value for the lower limit, press the STORE button to save it. “STORED” will flash briefly on the display.
Selecting a lower limit value that is greater than the upper limit value will invert the response of the controller – i.e. the toe position of the expression controller will provide the minimum value, while the heel position will provide the maximum value.
Note: Steps 1-13 can be repeated nine times for a total of 10 controllers. To exit Controller Assign at any time, turn either the PRESET or FUNCTION SELECT control. Only those changes that have been stored will be saved after exiting the Controller Assign function.

To copy the title, press the STORE button a second time. “STORED” will flash briefly before the Replifex displays the new preset number and title.
Turning the PARAMETER ADJUST control instead of pressing the STORE button allows you copy the title from the preset being copied to any other location. Once a location has been selected, press the STORE button to copy the title.
If you do not wish to copy the preset title, turn the PARAMETER SELECT or FUNCTION SELECT control to exit the preset copy function. The preset has been copied to the new location, but its title will be the title which was already at the new location.
Copying preset titles:
Step 1
Turn the FUNCTION SELECT control to “COPY”.
Step 2
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control two steps clockwise to access the “TI> XX to >TI XX” parameter, as shown below. The number on the left represents the preset title to be copied, while the number on the right represents the preset location to copy the title to.
Step 3
Use the PRESET control to select the desired preset title to be copied.
Step 4
Use the PARAMETER ADJUST control to select the location to copy the selected preset into.
Step 5
Press the STORE button to copy the selected title into the selected preset location. “STORED” will flash briefly before displaying the preset title at its new location.

Tap Delay
The Replifex allows you to change the delay times and/or modulation rates for any given preset while you are playing two different ways:
1. By tapping the TAP DELAY/RATE button on the front panel of the Replifex, or
2. By tapping a momentary footswitch connected to the rear panel TAP DELAY/RATE FOOTSWITCH jack.
3. By using a Rocktron All Access in Remote mode with the Replifex and tapping switch #15.
When any “TIME” parameter within a given preset is set to ½, ¼, TRIPLET, 8TH, 16TH or 32ND NOTE, tapping the footswitch or the front panel TAP DELAY/RATE button two times will change the current delay time and/or modulation rate based on the amount of time that passes between taps. The Replifex will detect the amount of time between any two taps that are less than one second apart (i.e., if more than one second passes after the first tap, two additional taps – less than one second apart – will be required to change the delay time again).
After the Replifex detects the length of time between each tap, it then multiplies or divides that time based on the type of note stored for the TIME parameter(s) of the preset. The resulting delay time can be:
one-eighth of the time between taps (32ND)
one-fourth of the time between taps (16TH)
one-half of the time between taps (8TH)
two-thirds of the time between taps (TRIPLET)
equal to the time between taps (¼), or
two times the amount of time between taps (½)
The maximum delay time the Replifex provides is 1000ms, therefore the Tap Delay feature will automatically default to a lower “TIME” parameter value when the time between taps requires a delay time over 1000ms. For example, if the HALF setting is stored for the TIME 1 parameter and the time between taps is 600ms, a delay time of 1200ms would be required (i.e. 600ms x 2). Because the maximum delay time is 1000ms, the Replifex will default to the next lower multiplier (¼) and provide a delay time equal to the delay time detected (600ms).
“NONE” can also be selected for the TIME parameter(s) so that they will not respond to taps from the footswitch or front panel TAP DELAY/RATE button.
Note 1: If delay times for each preset are selected via the Tap Delay feature (instead of manually setting the parameters), the flashing front panel tap delay rate L.E.D. will accurately reflect the tapped value that was stored in each preset when it is recalled. However, the Replifex must be displaying either a function heading or a parameter to store the flashing tap delay rate (i.e., not while displaying a preset title). If a preset title is displayed when the STORE button is pressed, only the Power On preset is stored (see page 63).
Note 2: If a footswitch is connected to the rear panel Tap Delay/Rate FOOTSWITCH jack when the unit is powered up, the Replifex will automatically determine the type of footswitch connected (i.e. normally open, normally closed, etc.). However, the footswitch must already be connected when the unit is turned on.

Program Changes
Program Changes allow for different MIDI program numbers to be assigned to Replifex preset numbers. For example, MIDI program #58 can be mapped to Replifex preset #34. Then, when program #58 is selected from a MIDI transmitting device (such as a Rocktron All Access foot controller), preset #34 will be recalled on the Replifex.
The Program Changes Map table is shipped from Rocktron at a one-to-one correspondance (i.e. MIDI program #1 is mapped to Replifex preset #1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, etc.).
Step 1
To access MIDI Program Mapping, turn the FUNCTION SELECT control clockwise until the Replifex displays “PROGRAM CHANGES”.
Step 2
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control one step clockwise to display the current Program Change On/Map/Off status.
Program Changes status options
ON – Execute MlDI program changes as received by a MIDI controller
MAP – Use mapping table when a program change is received
OFF – Do not execute MlDI program changes
Step 3
Turn the parameter adjust control to select the desired Program Changes status setting.
Step 4
Press the STORE button to save the status selection. “STORED” will flash briefly on the display.
Step 5
If “MAP” has been selected, turn the parameter SELECT control one step clockwise to display the current Program Changes mapping assignments.
Step 6
The number on the left of the display is the MIDI program number (or the number sent via a MIDI footswitch or other MIDI transmitter). Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control to select the MIDI program number to map to a preset.
Step 7
The number on the right of the display is the preset number to map to (or the preset number that will be recalled when the MIDI program number on the left is received). Turn the PARAMETER adjust control to select the preset number to map to.
* The preset number to map to can also be set to “OFF” – thereby not responding to that program change command.
Step 8
After selecting both the MIDI program number and the preset number, press the STORE button to save the change for each altered mapping. “STORED” will flash briefly on the display.

MIDI Channels
The Replifex can receive MIDI commands from other MIDI transmitting devices, as well as transmit MIDI program changes to other MIDI-based equipment when a preset is recalled on the Replifex. The MIDI Channels function allows you to select the MIDI channels that the Replifex will receive and transmit MIDI information on.
Step 1
Turn the FUNCTION SELECT control clockwise until the Replifex displays “MIDI CHANNELS”.
Step 2
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control one step clockwise to display the current MIDI Receive channel.
Step 3
Turn the PARAMETER ADJUST control to select the desired MIDI channel. You may select channels 1-16, OMNI (all channels) or OFF (will not receive MIDI commands).
Step 4
Press the STORE button to save the new MIDI Receive channel. “STORED” will flash briefly on the display.
Step 5
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control one step further to access the MIDI Transmit Channel status.
Step 6
Turn the PARAMETER ADJUST control to select the channel that the Replifex will transmit a MIDI program change on. You may select channels 1-16 or OFF (will not transmit a MIDI program change).
Step 7
Press the STORE button to save the new MIDI Transmit channel. “STORED” will flash briefly on the display.
After the desired MIDI channels have been selected, turn the FUNCTION SELECT control to exit the MIDI Channels function.

MIDI Dump/Load
Any or all of the Replifex presets may be dumped to a sequencer or another Replifex via system exclusive messages. The information exchanged when performing a MIDI Dump consists of parameter values, title characters and controller assignment information. When dumping a single preset into another Replifex, the dumped preset may be loaded into any preset location on the receiving Replifex.
To dump a single Replifex preset into another Replifex
Step 1
Connect a standard MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the transmitting Replifex to the MIDI IN on the receiving Replifex.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow a looping connection from the MIDI OUT/THRU of the receiving Replifex back to the MIDI IN of the transmitting Replifex.
Click here to see an image of the MIDI hook up.
Step 2
Turn the FUNCTION SELECT controls on both the transmitting and receiving Replifexes until “MIDI DUMP/LOAD” is displayed on each.
Step 3
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control on each unit one step clockwise to “PR DUMP/LOAD”.
Step 4
Turn the PRESET control on the transmitting Replifex to the preset that is to be dumped into the receiving Replifex. As the PRESET control is turned, the preset number will be displayed in the first three characters of the display.
Step 5
Use the PRESET control on the receiving Replifex to select the preset location to store the received preset. (The preset currently stored at the selected location will be lost when the new preset is received, therefore caution should be used when selecting a preset location.)
Step 6
To initiate the dump, press the STORE button on the transmitting Replifex. The transmitting Replifex will display the preset number being dumped and “DUMPED”. The receiving Replifex will display the preset location being stored to and “RECEIVING…” while it receives and stores the preset parameters and title.
After all the information for the dumped preset is stored, the receiving Replifex will display “LOADED”. The receiving Replifex also recalls the loaded preset at this time so that it may be verified.
Note: If there is an error in transmission, the unit will display “RECEIVE ERROR”. Should this occur, check connections and try again. If other errors occur, check the Error Messages chart in the Appendix.
To dump all Replifex presets into a sequencer:
Note: When performing data dumps to and from the Replifex, always perform the dump in real time sequence mode. This will ensure that data loaded back into the Replifex is not sent faster than the Replifex can receive it.
Also, make sure that the sequencer’s MIDI filter is set to accept SYSX information.
Step 1
Connect a standard MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the transmitting Replifex to the MIDI IN on the receiving sequencer.
Click here to see an image of the MIDI hook up.
Step 2
Turn the FUNCTION SELECT controls on the transmitting Replifex until “MIDI DUMP/LOAD” is displayed.
Step 3
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control on the transmitting Replifex until “BULK DUMP/LOAD” is displayed.
Step 4
Start the sequencer recording.
Step 5
Press the STORE button on the Replifex to initiate the data dump. As the Replifex performs the dump, it will display “XXX DUMPED” – where “XXX” = the number of the data string currently transmitting (i.e. strings 1-254 are presets, titles, controller information and 2-tap delay information; string 255 contains program mapping information; and string 256 contains miscellaneous information. Contact Rocktron Corporation for information on how to receive a detailed MIDI spec).
Step 6
After the Replifex displays “TRANS COMPLETE”, stop the sequencer. The sequencer should have recorded all of the data that was dumped from the Replifex. Keep this data stored on a disk in a safe place. Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control to continue.
To reload user data from a sequencer:
Step 1
Connect a standard MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the transmitting sequencer to the MIDI IN on the receiving Replifex.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow a looping connection from the MIDI OUT/THRU of the receiving Replifex back to the MIDI IN of the transmitting sequencer.
Click here to see an image of the MIDI hook up.
Step 2
Turn the FUNCTION SELECT controls on both the receiving Replifex until “MIDI DUMP/LOAD” is displayed.
Step 3
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT controls on the receiving Replifex until “BULK DUMP/LOAD” is displayed.
Step 4
Play back the data stored on the sequencer. The Replifex will display the data strings as it is storing them. Each data string will appear with the word “LOADED”. After all the user data has been loaded, the Replifex will display “LOAD COMPLETE”. Do not play back the data from the sequencer faster than it was loaded, as errors may occur (errors may also occur if any knob is turned or any button is pressed before the message “LOAD COMPLETE” appears).
If errors occur during transmission, the unit will display “RECEIVE ERROR” for transmission errors and “XMEM ERROR” for internal hardware errors. Errors occurring in transmission does not indicate that all of the received data is corrupted. Only the transmission string where the error occurred is corrupted.
When receiving a Bulk Load, it is important that the data loaded to the Replifex is not transmitted faster than it was originally dumped from the Replifex. If information is sent too fast to the Replifex, an error will occur.
When dumping information from a data storage device, such as an Alesis Data Disk, it is necessary to perform the dump in sequence mode rather than sysx mode. Sequence mode will dump the information back to the Replifex at the same rate as it was received from the Replifex. The Replifex can receive a data dump at about 65Hz (or about 1 byte every 15 milliseconds).

Factory Restore
The Factory Restore function allows you to restore altered Replifex presets to their original condition as shipped from the factory. Either the entire Replifex memory can be restored, a single preset can be restored to any preset location, or the controller information alone can be restored.
Restoring a single factory preset:
Step 1
Turn the FUNCTION SELECT control clockwise to “FACTORY RESTORE”.
Step 2
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control one step clockwise to “RESTR 1 TO 1”. The number on the left is the original factory preset number to be restored. The number on the right is the preset location that the preset will be stored into.
Step 3
Turn the PRESET control to select the factory preset to be restored.
Step 4
Turn the PARAMETER ADJUST control to select the preset location to store the restored preset into.
!! CAUTION !!
Pressing the STORE button at this time will overwrite
the current preset with the displayed factory preset.
Step 5
Press the STORE button to begin restoring the selected preset into the selected location. After the process is completed, the display should read “ERRORS 0”. This represents the number of bytes that the Replifex found did not initialize properly. Any number of errors other than “0” means that the Replifex may not have initialized properly and the process should be repeated.
The Replifex will remain in this condition until the FUNCTION SELECT control is turned to exit the Factory Restore function. The preset currently recalled will be the preset most recently restored into the current location.
Restoring the Replifex memory (all presets):
!! CAUTION !!
This procedure will permanently erase all user presets (1-254) and replace
them with the original factory presets. If you have altered and stored presets
which you do not want to erase, do not perform the following procedure.
Step 1
Turn the FUNCTION SELECT control clockwise to “FACTORY RESTORE”.
Step 2
Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control two steps clockwise to “ALL RESTORE 0”.
Step 3
A specific code number must be entered to restore the Replifex memory. Use the PARAMETER ADJUST control to enter the number “243”.
! ! WARNING ! !
Pressing the STORE button at this time will permanently erase all
user presets and replace them with the original factory presets. If
you have altered and stored presets which you do not want to erase,
turn the FUNCTION SELECT control to exit this function.
Press the STORE button at this time to initiate the All Restore procedure and erase all current Replifex presets, replacing them with the original factory presets. The Replifex will display “INITIALIZING” as the Replifex memory is restored.
After the All Restore process is completed, the display should read “ERRORS 0”. This is the number of bytes that the Replifex found that did not initialize properly. Any number of errors other than “0” means that the Replifex may not have initialized properly and the process should be repeated.
The Replifex will remain in this condition until the FUNCTION SELECT control is turned to exit the Factory Restore function. The preset currently recalled will be the preset most recently restored into the current location.
Restoring the Replifex controller assignments:
The controller assignments for the Replifex can also be reinitialized without affecting presets and other stored information. Reinitialization of the controller assignments is necessary when setting up the Replifex to operate in remote mode with a Rocktron All Access footswitch.
To reinitialize only the controller assignments, enter a code number of “244” at Step 3 above (instead of the “243” shown).
