Please take the time to read this manual carefully so you can get the most out of your 507 and ensure optimum performance and reliability. ZOOM CORPORATION NOAH Bldg. , 2-10-2, Miyanishi-cho, Fuchu-shi, Tokyo 183, Japan PHONE: 0423-69-7116 FAX: 0423-69-7115 Printed in Japan 507-5000 1 Major Features · High-grade reverb of top class devices despite compact size; delay with 990 ms maximum delay time; and outstanding spatial effects that produce a beautiful chorus sound at an affordable price. · On-board "Zfx-2" DSP (Digital Signal Processor) developed by Zoom, and an innovative design used solely for its powerful spatial effects. [. . . ] To turn the function off, again hold the EDIT key down for at least 1 second. Banks can be switched using the VALUE +/- keys. Bank Hold ON Keeping the EDIT key depressed for at least 1 second activates Bank Hold. To cancel Bank Hold, press the EDIT key again for 1 second. Bank switching Banks A, b, C, d, E, F can be switched. PATCH DOWN PATCH UP Patch switching 4 patches within bank can be switched.

This switching principle is most convenient when the desired patches are adjacent or close to each other. However, when wanting to switch to a patch that is further away, it may be desirable not to activate the sound of the other patches in between. When Direct Load has been turned off, switching banks and patches has no effect until the user confirms the selection. DIRECT LOAD OFF Keeping STORE key depressed for 1 second turns Direct Load off. The same procedure serves to turn it on. For example, when going from patch 1 to patch 4 with Direct Load active, patches 2 and 3 will briefly be heard when the patch UP pedal is pressed three times. When Direct Load is off, pressing the patch UP pedal will change the number on the display (the number flashes), but until the user confirms the choice, the sound remains that of patch 1. To turn Direct Load on or off, keep the STORE key depressed for at least 1 second. To confirm a choice after selecting a patch with Direct Load off, press both patch pedals simultaneously. Example: Switching from patch 1 to patch 4 BA NK DO WN PATCH DOWN UP BANK HOLD OFF Bank switching Banks A, b, C, d, E, F can be switched. PATCH UP Patch switching Patches can be switched. Confirming a patch When display indication flashes, pressing both patch pedals together confirms the patch and switches the output sound. Press both pedals together Patch switching completed Confirm 11 Editing Patches The 507 comes with 24 predefined patches. However, the 507 offers many more possibilities for combining effects in innovative ways. To discover these possibilities, we recommend that you try changing the parameters (elements that make up patches) to create your own patches. To switch from normal Play mode to Edit mode, press the EDIT key briefly (for less than 1 second). * Note that if the EDIT key is held down for 1 second or longer, the Bank Hold mode will be activated. The correlations between parameter cursor LEDs and parameters are shown below. The asterisked parameters are effective only when the DLY+REV reverb type has been selected as the parameter at the highest (first) position. · 1st parameter cursor LED: Reverb type selection · 2nd parameter cursor LED:Reverb time/delay time (*) setting · 3rd parameter cursor LED: Reverb tone/delay feedback (*) setting · 4th parameter cursor LED: Reverb/delay + reverb (*) mix setting · 5th parameter cursor LED: Chorus module setting Immediately after switching from Play mode to Edit mode, the parameter indicator of the currently selected Reverb type (HALL, ROOM, PLATE, DLY+REV) flashes, and the setting for that parameter is displayed. This means that the Reverb type parameter has been selected for editing. (1) While still in Play mode, select the patch you wish to edit. (2) Press the EDIT key to activate the Edit mode. Use the VALUE +/- keys to change parameters. For an explanation of the various parameters, see 12 Effect Parameters. When the EDIT key is pressed while the fifth parameter cursor LED flashes, Edit mode is canceled and the unit returns to Play mode. In Edit mode, the EDIT key is used for selecting the parameter for editing. Each time the EDIT key is pressed the parameter cursor moves one position down. The flashing position shows which parameter is selected for editing. (1) Use the EDIT key or patch pedal to select the parameter you wish to change. (2) Use the VALUE +/- keys to adjust the parameter. (3) While the eighth parameter cursor LED is flashing, press the EDIT key to return to Play mode. 12 Effect Parameters PARAMETER 1 Selects the reverb type for the REVERB/DLY+REV module. [. . . ] The parameter setting will return to its original value. 13 Storing Patches If you have edited (altered) a patch and turn the 507 off without storing the patch, the patch will revert to its old setting. If the unit is currently in Play mode, release the key before 1 second has elapsed, otherwise the Direct Load function will be activated. If you wish, you can abandon the store procedure at this point by pressing the EDIT key. If you press the STORE key once more, the contents of the patch are updated. [. . . ]
