3. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Markbass stereo SUPER SYNTH.
This pedal turns your bass into a synthesizer—with seriously cool sounds and no tracking delay! It also doubles as a digital octaver, with both octave up and octave down layers. The
easy-to-read display always identies what eect is being applied. The parameters of the pedal’s presets can be modied using the Markbass Pedal Controller software, which is
available for download from the pedal’s product page at www.markbass.it. Simply install the software, connect the pedal to your computer using a USB cable, modify the presets as
desired, and then load them back onto the pedal.
Like all our pedals, this unit features true bypass: that means that when the eect is o, your signal goes directly from the input jack to the output jack without any degradation of
audio quality.
This manual will help you get the most out of your pedal. If you have any questions after reading it, please feel free to contact our online customer service department at
Thank you again, and enjoy your Markbass stereo SUPER SYNTH!

6. MARKBASS PEDAL CONTROLLER SOFTWARE
To customize your Super Synth pedal, simply download the software from this pedal’s product page at
www.markbass.it, install it on your Mac or PC computer, and connect your pedal to the computer using
a standard USB cable.
Launch the software, click on “CONNECT button and wait for connection. The software gives you more
control over the presets than the pedal itself does… so you can completely customize your sounds in
real time and save up to twelve presets to suit your needs perfectly. Future updates of the Markbass
Pedal Controller software may be downloaded for free from www.markbass.it as they become available.
Please stay tuned!
Although the Super Synth pedal performs some pretty complex technical feats, Markbass has designed
the user interface to be as simple and easy-to-use as possible!
MODE: This switch toggles between Synth and Octaver modes (same as the switch on the pedal).
SYNTH
CUTOFF: controls the cuto frequency of the synth lter
LEVEL: controls the synth output level
TONE: this control allows you to select from seven factory presets with dierent presets of
Detune, Amp and Pan of the three oscillators. You can modify the Dynamic
settings of these presets, but not the Oscillaror parameters. The Super Synth
parameter controls are located on two pages: DYNAMICS and OSCILLATORS.
The one User preset allows you to modify the parameters on both the Dynamics
and Oscillators pages.
DYNAMICS
NOTE DYNAMICS SECTION
NOTE ON LEVEL: controls how hard you have to play in order to trigger the synth sound
(note on). The further you turn this up, the harder you have to play
to trigger the synth sound
NOTE OFF LEVEL: controls the level at which the synth sound is untriggered (note o). As
the synth note is decaying, at a certain point the synth sound
disappears and you just have dry sound. Here you can adjust the
volume level at which this transition happens
AMP DYNAMIC: controls how much the dynamics of the synth sound follow the dynamics
of your playing
FILTER DYNAMIC: controls how much the envelope of dry sound increases the cuto lter
FILTER AND MIX SECTION
CUTOFF: the synth’s lter cuts out the range of frequencies above the specic frequency set
here. It responds dynamically to the envelope of your bass sound,
depending on how Filter Dynamic and Envelope are set
RESONANCE: controls the resonance of the synth lter
LEVEL: controls the synth output level
MIX: controls the mix between the original sound and the synth
ENVELOPE CONTROL SECTION
AT TAC K: controls the envelope attack time
RELEASE: controls the envelope release time
PORTAMENTO: transition time between two dierent notes
ENVELOPE: controls how much the envelope generator increases the cuto lter
OSCILLATORS
Oscillators 1 / Oscillators 2 / Oscillators 3
DETUNE: detunes the note, measured in semi-tones
DETUNE FINE: detunes the note, measured in cents
AMP: amplitude of the oscillator
PAN: oscillator stereo balance L/R
OCTAVER
OCTAVE +1: volume level one octave above the dry signal
OCTAVE 1: volume level one octave below the dry signal
OCTAVE 2: volume level two octaves below the dry signal
DRY: volume of the dry signal
