5. Library
The Library contains the collections of your created patches and effects. The patches
stored within your ID:Series amplier will also be shown here when connected to
Blackstar INSIDER via USB. Double-click on any of your content with the Library
section to hear it instantly through your ID Series amplier.
6. Online community
Your computer requires an internet connection to access the Blackstar Online
Community, which is a place to share your content with other ID:Series users.
7. Tuner
Blackstar INSIDER extends the features of the ID:Series built-in tuner to become a
graphical, chromatic guitar tuner.
Designing a Patch
To design a new patch you may either use an existing patch as a basis, or click the
NEW PATCH button on the workspace to start anew. Use your mouse to create a
patch with the INSIDER workspace Amplier and Effects Chain sections. You can
also name and describe your new patch by clicking the PATCH INFO button on the
workspace Toolbar and completing the relevant elds.
Your ID:Series amplier will instantly respond to the changes you make to your
patch. Whenever you make a change to a knob control within Blackstar INSIDER,
the knob marker will change to a red colour to show that there is a ‘mismatch’
between your amplier front panel and the Blackstar INSIDER control. This helps
you keep track of any changes that you have made. If you make further changes
to the sound from your ID:Series amplier front panel, the corresponding Blackstar
INSIDER control will mirror the change and also remove any previous mismatch
indication.
Designing a new patch or modifying an existing patch will not overwrite anything
within your ID:Series amplier until you save any changes and store it into your
amplier memory (see section below).

1. Toolbar
The Toolbar will always present the most relevant options for your current task. From
here you can create, save and describe a patch, see the currently active patch,
access deep settings and browse the ID: Series online community. When designing
patches, the Toolbar will display the name of the currently active patch.
2. Amplier
The Amplier section contains an adapted version of the front panel of your ID:Series
amplier. These controls will mirror their counterpart on your amplier; any changes
made via the front panel of the amplier will be reected within Blackstar INSIDER.
Accordingly, any changes made to the controls (by clicking and dragging or using
the mouse scroll wheel) within Blackstar INSIDER will be instantly reected by your
ID:Series amplier.
The effects controls within the Amplier section mirror your ID:Series amplier effect
type knob, and are responsible for choosing which type of modulation, delay or
reverb is active in the corresponding category.
The USB within the Amplier section shows the connection state of your ID:Series
amplier to your computer.
3. Effects chain
The Effects Chain section expands on the effects controls on the front panel of
your ID:Series amplier, and is displayed within Blackstar INSIDER as a traditional
effects pedal signal chain. Each effect is switched on or bypassed by clicking the ON
button. Effects which have a SPEED or TIME control also have a TAP button; click
on this button in time with the desired tempo to set the value. This will be reected
on the SPEED/TIME control.
Some effects have additional controls which cannot be modied via the front panel
on your amplier, but will remain in the saved patch when disconnected from
Blackstar INSIDER.
As per the Amplier section, changes made to the effects controls (by clicking and
dragging or using the mouse scroll wheel) are instantly reected by your ID:Series
amplier, and vice-versa.
4. Audio
The Audio section contains features to enable you to practice and jam along to your
digital music collection. Audio tracks can be imported into Blackstar INSIDER and
played back through your computer speakers. Sections of tracks can be looped
and the playback speed can be increased or decreased for phrase training and
practicing your favourite solos. The Audio section also contains a metronome with
variable tones and time signatures.
