Live Mode is the hands-free way to control individual effects, without the need for a MIDI controller.

1. To enter Live Mode, simply add one or more effects to your chain, then press and hold Stratus' foot switch for 3 seconds. By default, it will launch in Stompbox Control. If you do not have any effects in your chain, Live Mode will automatically enter Preset Control.
   
   
   
   STOMPBOX CONTROL
2. Once in Live Mode (Stompbox Control), tap the foot switch to toggle specific effects ON or OFF. Press or turn the Multiknob to select a different effect.
3. Use the Chaos Audio mobile app to keep track of which effect is selected.
   - When connected to the mobile app, the app will display the popup for the effect that is currently selected, and will also display the ON/OFF state for the effect in the app in real time.
4. Use Stratus' LEDs to get a quick glance at your position and which effects are enabled.
   - "WHITE" indicates an effect in that slot that is OFF and NOT SELECTED.
   - "BLUE" indicates an effect in that slot that is ON and NOT SELECTED.
   - "DIM PINK" indicates an effect in that slot that is OFF and SELECTED.
   - "BRIGHT PINK" indicates an effect in that slot that is ON and SELECTED.
5. You can control up to seven effects at a time, all within a single effects chain, when using Stompbox Control.
   
   
   
   
   PRESET CONTROL
6. To enter Preset Control while in Live Mode, press and hold Stratus' Multiknob switch for 3 seconds. Pressing and holding the Multiknob will swap back and forth between Stompbox Control and Preset Control when Live Mode is enabled.
7. Once in Preset Control, tap the foot switch to toggle between the 2 presets in your first preset pair. Press or turn the Multiknob to select a different preset pair.
8. Use Stratus' LEDs to get a quick glance at which preset pair is selected and which preset in that pair is enabled. Bright colors indicate the first preset in the pair, dim colors indicate the second preset in the pair.
   - "WHITE" indicates a preset pair in that slot that is OFF and NOT SELECTED.
   - "BLUE" indicates preset pair 1 (presets #0 and #1 in the app)
   - "GREEN" indicates preset pair 2 (presets #2 and #3 in the app)
   - "YELLOW" indicates preset pair 3 (presets #4 and #5 in the app)
   - "ORANGE" indicates preset pair 4 (presets #6 and #7 in the app)
   - "RED" indicates preset pair 5 (presets #8 and #9 in the app)
   - "PURPLE" indicates preset pair 6 (presets #10 and #11 in the app)
   - "PINK" indicates preset pair 7 (presets #12 and #13 in the app)

All audio processing and effects control is done locally on Stratus, so if your phone dies or disconnects, you're still covered.
