Hot Hand x and y-axis interchange (Effect=Phaser 05 )
The Hot Hand sensor uses a two axis accelerometer. By default, the Hot Hand
senses acceleration along the x-axis. The x-axis runs parallel to your arm and
the long dimension of the sensor ring. The y-axis is perpendicular to x, while
still being in the plane of an outstretched hand wearing the ring. We gener-
ally find that the x-axis gives better control than the y-axis, but feel free to
experiment, especially if your playing technique is somewhat unconventional.
(Lefties—no, you still want to use x, but the normal and inverted settings are
effectively switched.)
Please note that if you are using the y-axis that you may need to re-calibrate
with your hand and the sensor parallel to the ground (palm down). This will
allow you to set a useful “zero” point for the y-axis.
The default setting of the x-axis sensor is indicated by the top-most LED on
the DEPTH knob. The next LED , in either direction, indicates use of an axis
midway between x and y (a 45 degree angle.) Another step in either direction
gets us to the y-axis. The complete set of 9 choices, from counter-clock-wise:
DEPTH
Knob Axis
0 -x
1 Halfway between –x and –y
2 -y
3 Halfway between –y and x
4 x
5 Halfway between x and y
6 y
7 Halfway between y and –x
8 -x
Note that a selection of –x acts the same as a selection of x with the INVERT
switch on. The INVERT setting on the MOTION/SPEED knob will always act to
invert whichever axis direction is chosen.

Expression control output gain trim (Effect=Phaser 07 )
This allows adjustment of the level of the signal on the EXPRESSION OUT
jack. The default is position 2 . This will result in a signal that varies between
zero and 3.3VDC . The maximum output voltage is 4.5VDC . Note that greater
changes in signal can also be produced by faster motion of your hand. Higher
gain will allow you to use slower motions to achieve the desired signal levels.
Restore defaults (Effect=Hot Hand)
When the EFFECT knob is set to restore ( HOT HAND) in the Back Page mode,
depressing the SELECT pedal will reset all of the Back Page parameters to
their default settings, along with the Presets.
Hot Hand to LFO Speed (Effect= LFO/SEQ )
When this parameter is in the center, or OFF position, (which is the default
value) an expression pedal plugged into the EXPRESSION IN jack may be used
to control the LFO speed. This is the default. Away from this position, the
pedal is disabled, and the Hot Hand takes over. There is a range of four values
that determine how much change there is in the
LFO speed. These values
are also repeated with a negative sign, indicating that the direction of control
by the Hot Hand is inverted. (The
INVERT switch cannot be used for this
purpose, since it is being used for selecting either the LFO or the Sequencer.
The SPEED control is also used to set the initial LFO speed, and thus it cannot
control the speed of response to the Hot Hand motion. The Hot Hand motion
speed is automatically set to the middle of the range of the
SPEED control.)
The maximum range of control with the Hot Hand is the same as the control
range with the pedal.
