3.2 Stompbox Mode
In contrast, Stompbox mode allows you to treat the pedal as two individual stompboxes. The footswitches now act as on/off
switches for the X and Y engines, just like using separate 2 pedals. The footswitches also now support momentary action, i.e. you can
engage the X or Y momentarily by pressing on the footswitch and hold it for as long as you want the algorithm to run.
This mode is indicated by the ORANGE color of LED A/Y and LED B/X.
This mode is indicated by the RED color of LED A/Y and LED B/X.
Toggling between Preset Mode and Stompbox Mode :
Press and hold both footswitches, until all the bank LEDs blinks 3x < the screen will temporarily display the active mode >.
Both algorithms and parameters setting of each DSP are swapped, thereby preserving the complete state.

DSP Routing can be set in Options ( Options ‐> DSP Routing ), and is specified on per‐preset basis.
Split mode is usable only when using the both Left and Right outputs, and is meaningless when using mono output.
This highly flexible ways of combining two modulation processing engines opens the door for sonic possibilities that are limited only
by your imagination. Explore!
Note: Typically, the output of each DSP comprises wet (processed) + dry (unprocessed) signal. When using the Mixture routing the
output signal composition becomes wet (X) + wet (Y) + 2 * dry. Depending of the algorithms running on X and Y this may leads to an
imbalance in the wet/dry composition. Fortunately, most of the algorithms have a wet/dry mix control that goes from full dry to full
wet, use it to get a higher wet/dry ratio, compensating for the imbalance caused by blending the two DSP outputs together.

5.1 Tap Division
A set of tap‐divide options are provided to make your life easier while working with tap tempo. Tap‐Divide can be set in Options
( Options ‐> Tap.Div X, and Options ‐> Tap.Div Y), and is specified on per preset‐basis.
Tap‐Divide options
When you start tapping the tap‐divide values are displayed on the screen.

5.2 Tempo LED.
The tempo LED will start blinking only when the tempo of both X and Y are synchronized, and this occurs under two conditions :
1. When you do tap‐tempo.
2. When Synesthesia is receiving a midi clock signal.
Also, at least one of the active algorithms must be tapable and the tap‐divide value is not set to “Ignore Tap/Clk”.
No value is shown if :
‐ Tap‐divide is set to “Ignore Tap/Clk”
‐ The algorithm doesn’t have a ‘tempo’
(such as Octave , Envelope Filter, etc).
