Applying an effect

Changing the effect type

Each effect provides several variations, which allow it to be controlled by
the step sequencer or by external synchronization. These are called

effect

types

. You can select the effect type that is most suitable for your

performance situation.

Smoothing

:

When using the step sequencer to control the effect (p.

45), this creates smooth changes between each step.

Synchronization

: The rate of the filter, phaser, or slicer will be

synchronized to the standard tempo. Use the C1 knob to
choose the note value for synchronization (16th note, 8th
note, quarter note, half note, whole note, whole note x2,
whole note x4).

If you want only Pan to
change for S-5, S-6, or S-7,
turn the C1 knob all the
way to the left. If you want
only resonance to change
for F-6, F-7, or F-8, turn the
C1 knob all the way to the
left.
