Adding Effects

15: RING MODULATOR

This is an effect that applies amplitude modulation (AM) to the input
signal, producing bell-like sounds. You can also change the
modulation frequency in response to changes in the volume of the
sound sent into the effect.

fig.MFX-15

16: STEP RING MODULATOR

This is a ring modulator that uses a 16-step sequence to vary the
frequency at which modulation is applied.

fig.MFX-16

17: TREMOLO

Cyclically modulates the volume to add tremolo effect to the sound.

fig.MFX-17a

18: AUTO PAN

Cyclically modulates the stereo location of the sound.

Parameter

Value

Explanation

Frequency #

0–127

Adjusts the frequency at which modula-
tion is applied.

Sens #

0–127

Adjusts the amount of frequency modu-
lation applied.

Polarity

UP, DOWN

Determines whether the frequency mod-
ulation moves towards higher frequen-
cies (

UP

) or lower frequencies (

DOWN

).
