FX1 Effects

The Effects 1 module provides six different pitch-based effects.
You can choose to use any one of these effects.
Chorus
A chorus effect uses an LFO to modulate the pitch of the input
signal, which is then added back to the dry signal. In small doses
this will create the illusion of multiple voices playing at once. Turn
up the Feedback and Depth for more pronounced "shimmering"
and "watery" sounds.
A. Feedback
This is the amount of the chorus output added back
into the input to produce a deeper effect.
Range:
B. Manual Delay
This is the base delay time that is modulated by the
LFO to create the Flange effect. It determines the
frequencies of the notches and peaks.
Range:
C. LFO Rate
This is the rate of the Low Frequency Oscillator.
Range:
whole notes) to 16 (64
enabled
D. LFO Depth
This adjusts the magnitude of the LFO modulation.
When set to 0%, the LFO has no effect on the
notch frequencies.
Range:
E. LFO Shape
This selects between the two LFO shapes.
Range:
F. LFO Tempo Sync
This selects whether the LFO rate is synchronized
to the Micron's tempo. When "follow tempo" is
selected, the LFO Rate parameter is displayed as a
multiple of the Tempo.
