What is the Sound Editor?
The Sound Editor for MAGISTOMP lets you edit the MAGICSTOMP’s effect patches to create your
own original effect patches.
The Sound Editor’s easy to understand graphical interface lets you edit all of the effect
parameters right from your computer. Using the mouse, it lets you intuitively adjust the virtual
knobs on the computer’s display. You can also assign the parameters that can be controlled with
the MAGICSTOMP’s three control knobs.
The Sound Editor also lets you transfer the patches you’ve edited to the MAGICSTOMP’s memory,
store patch data in the MAGICSTOMP to your computer, and transfer the library files found in the
accompanying CD-ROM to the MAGICSTOMP.

Using the Sound Editor
The Sound Editor for MAGICSTOMP lets you do the following:
• In the accompanying CD-ROM
folder
→
“Library Files” are some additional patches that can be used in the MAGICSTOMP. These patches differ from the Preset P atches (P01-P99) found in the MA GICST OMP.
You can select patches you like from the library and transfer them into the MAGICSTOMP’s User Patches (U01-U99) for use.
• With the MAGICSTOMP’s three control knobs you can control only three parameters. But
the Sound Editor for Magic Stomp lets you edit all of the effect’ s parameters. You can also
edit patch type (effect type), patch names, and assign the parameters to be controlled by
the MAGICSTOMP’s three control knobs. The edited patches can also be transferred to
the MAGICSTOMP’s User Memory at any time (page 6).

bulk dump the whole library into the MAGICSTOMP. In this case, proceed with the f ollo wing
steps after completing step 6 described previously.

Drag the patch to the library window and drop it on the patch number to which you want to
store the data, and the patch data is copied to that patch number.
