Modifying the Sound While You

Perform

The AX-Edge lets you use various controllers to modify the sound

while you perform.

Using the MODULATION BAR

Press the

MODULATION BAR

to apply modulation.

* The effect applied by the

MODULATION BAR

differs depending on the

setting. Normally, pressing the

MODULATION BAR

applies a vibrato

effect. To change the setting, refer to

“Assigning the Function of Each

Controller”

(p. 12).

Using the RIBBON CONTROLLER

You can modify the sound by pressing your finger on the

RIBBON

CONTROLLER

and moving it to left or right. For this controller, the

sound also changes according to the pressure of your finger.

* The effect applied by the

RIBBON CONTROLLER

differs depending

on the setting. Normally, left/right motion operates as pitch bend to

change the pitch. Pressure on the controller applies a vibrato-type

effect. To change the setting, refer to

“Assigning the Function of Each

Controller”

(p. 12).

Disabling the RIBBON CONTROLLER

You can disable the AX-Edge’s

RIBBON CONTROLLER

operations if

you like. This is convenient when you want to apply an effect only in

response to left/right movement or only in response to pressure.
