Setup

Modes

The Ocean Machine has two main operation modes to allow the device to be used in different ways.

PLAY Mode - In this mode the Ocean machine operates like a tradition effects pedal and every basic effect parameter value is the same as that of it's corresponding control knob.

PATCH Mode - In this mode the Ocean machine recalls saved presets and all basic effect parameter values will be the same as the recalled preset until adjusted via their corresponding control knob.

Press the Preset button to change the mode of operation.
