Tweak the cutoff

Select P06 and start V A1. Set RESONANCE to about 2 or 3 o'clock, then slowly turn the CUTOFF
knob to create a slow sweeping effect. Twiddle the knob back and forth quickly and create a wah-
wah like trembling effect.

Wah-wah scratching

Here’s a cool effect you can use to funkify your tracks! It’s like running a turntable through a wah-
wah pedal. The settings suggested here work especially well with Scratch 01, but you may want to
experiment with other settings when using other Scratch kits.

Set RESONANCE to max then turn the CUTOFF knob back and forth between 7 and 10 o’clock while
playing the scratch sound. Try to keep the groove — both in your scratching and your knob turn-
ing!
