Rear Panel; Usb Audio - Blackstar Amplification ID:CORE STEREO 100 Manual De Uso

Rear Panel

1. Power Switch
This switch is used to turn the amplifier on and off.
2. Mains Input
The supplied detachable mains lead is connected here. Always ensure the Power
Switch is in the OFF position before applying mains power. The lead should only
be connected to a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage, power and
frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. If in doubt get advice from a
qualified technician.
3. Emulated/Headphone Output
This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and
provides a natural tone for connection to a recording device or mixing desk. To
make full use of the stereo effects, use a stereo jack to two mono jacks splitter lead
to feed two channels of the recording device or mixer. The output will also function
into a mono guitar type lead. Always use a good quality screened lead. Turning the
Volume knob (4) will control the Emulated Output level. The Master Volume knob
only affects the internal speakers.
NOTE: To 'silently' record or practice via headphones, set the Master Volume to
zero.
4. MP3/Line In
Connect the output of your MP3 or CD player here. Adjust the player's volume to
match that of your guitar to enable you to play along.
5. Footswitch
Connect your included FS-13 footcontroller here, or any other compatible Blackstar
footcontroller (e.g. FS-12 programmable footcontroller). See the Footcontrollers
section on pages 16-17 for more information.
6. Effects Loop
In addition to using the studio quality effects within your amplifier, you can place your
own external effects processors and stomp boxes 'in the loop' for the best sonic
performance. Connect the amplifier 'Send' to the input of your effects unit, and
connect the output to the 'Return'. If your effects unit has a stereo output, connect
to both 'Return' sockets on your amplifier. If your external effect is mono connect
the output of your effects unit to only the 'Return L (Mono)' socket.
Programmability
Storing Patches
To store the current sound as a Patch:
1. Press and hold any of the three Channel switches (19) for one second. All three
Channel LEDs will begin to flash.
14
2. Press the Bank switch to scroll through the three banks (green, orange, red) to
choose the store location.
3. Press any of the three Channel switches once to store the patch in the chosen
location.
The LED corresponding to the chosen store location will illuminate and the new
patch will be active.
Green bank = Patches 1-3
Orange bank = Patches 4-6
Red bank = Patches 7-9
The amplifier controls can be used to edit the patch at any stage of the store
process. Press the Manual switch at any stage to cancel the store process and
return the amplifier to the last state.
Storing a patch will overwrite any previous patch in that location. Patches can also
be stored using Blackstar's INSIDER software when connected to the amplifier via
USB.
Recalling Patches
Press any Channel switch to load that patch. Pressing the Bank switch will cycle
through the three banks – green-orange-red. The Channel will be preserved,
therefore the corresponding patch within the current Bank will be loaded when
scrolling through the Banks. Alternatively, patches can be recalled via Blackstar's
INSIDER software or any compatible footcontroller.

USB Audio

Standard device drivers are used to connect the amplifier to a PC or Mac, therefore
no additional device drivers are required. If your computer's audio latency is found
to be too high a generic ASIO driver can be downloaded and associated with your
amplifier, for example ASIO4ALL – www.asio4all.com. For a guide on low-latency
USB recording visit:
www.blackstaramps.com/usbrecording
NOTE: Always connect the amplifier via a main USB port, often found on the rear
of the computer.
The amplifier will appear as an audio capture device within recording software.
The output of the audio over USB can be changed via the Blackstar INSIDER
software, and can be one of the following:
 Speaker emulated stereo effected audio channels
 2 x mono audio channels
- Left – effected amplifier signal
- Right – unprocessed guitar signal
 Reamping Mode
