Stratus has three different control modes, and will remember the last-used mode every time it boots up:

1. Master Mode
   In Master Mode, Stratus' foot switch toggles the entire effects chain on or off. Turning the Multiknob adjusts the master volume, and pressing the Multiknob controls the Looper. This is the mode that Stratus arrives in out-of-the-box.
2. Live Mode
   Live Mode is the hands-free way to control Stratus, enabling access to locally-stored presets or individual FX-toggling within each preset. Pressing and holding the Multiknob for 3 seconds while in Live Mode will swap between Stompbox Control and Preset Control.
   • Stompbox Control
     In Stompbox Control, Stratus' foot switch toggles individual effects on or off. Turning or pressing the Multiknob selects a different effect, and the LEDs indicate the status of all effects in your effects chain. One or more effects must be loaded into your chain to enable Live Mode.
   • Preset Control
     In Preset Control, Stratus' foot switch toggles between 2 presets in up to 7 preset pairs, for instant access to up to 14 presets. Turning or pressing the Multiknob selects a different preset pair, and the LEDs indicate the status of which preset pair, and which preset within that pair, is engaged. Preset pairs are color coded with the 7 LEDs and are the first 14 presets you create in the Chaos Audio app. You must sync your presets from the app in order to access presets locally stored on Stratus, but the app is not required after syncing.

To swap between Master Mode and Live Mode, simply press and hold Stratus' foot switch for 3 seconds. The LEDs will indicate that the current mode has changed.

To swap between Stompbox Control and Preset Control (within Live Mode), simply press and hold Stratus' Multiknob for 3 seconds. The LEDs will indicate that the current control mode has changed.

NOTE: One or more effects must be loaded into your chain to enable Live Mode. Stratus will remember the last mode that was selected and automatically boot into that mode the next time it is used.
