Pressing the [MIX/ VCF] KN O B PARAMETER G RO UP
switch lets yo u use CO N TRO L kno bs 1 -4 to determine
the levels o f the VCO 1 , VCO 2 , Ring Mo dulato r and
N o ise sig nals, respectively. CO N TRO L kno b 5 lets yo u
determine the cuto ff frequency o f the Hig h Pass Filter
applied to the sig nal which is o utput fro m the mixer,
and CO N TRO L kno b 6 lets yo u select the VCF filter
type (L PF , HPF , BPF , BEF) which is co ntro lled by the VCF
Cuto ff frequency (in the [VCF] parameter g ro up).
CO N TRO L kno b 7 lets yo u adjust the Filter Mo dulatio n
Depth to create a wah effect.
For more information about [ MIX/ VCF] parameters, see page 6 6 .

Pressing the [VCA] KN O B PARAMETER G RO UP switch
g ives yo u access to the vo ltag e co ntro lled amplifier
parameters, which let yo u determine the vo lume o f the

CO N TRO L kno b 7 lets yo u adjust Amplitude
Mo dulatio n Depth to create a tremo lo effect by using
L FO 1 . CO N TRO L kno b 8 lets yo u set the Velo city
Sensitivity to determine the amplitude o f the VCA in
relatio n to playing streng th, to either increase dynamic
rang e with a heavier o r lig hter to uch.

CO N TRO L kno b 5 lets yo u determine the feedback
level which is o utput fro m the VCA and then " fed
back" into the input o f the mixer, causing the sig nal to
beco me fat. CO N TRO L kno b 6 lets yo u determine the
o verall o utput level fro m the VCA befo re the sig nal
passes to the Effect blo ck.

4 . LFO Edit
The L o w Frequency O scillato r is an o scillato r which
g enerates lo w frequency sig nals to let yo u apply a
mo dulatio n sig nal to specific aspects o f the vo ice. Fo r
example, applying the L FO to the VCO creates vibrato ,
applying it to the VCF creates wah, and applying it to
the VCA creates tremo lo . The AN 1 x has two separate
L FO s which g ive yo u a wide rang e o f co ntro l o ver
mo dulatio n.
W a v e A nd Sp e e d
Pressing the [PEG / L FO ] KN O B PARAMETER G RO UP
switch lets yo u use CO N TRO L kno b 5 to select the
L FO 1 W ave fro m 2 1 types available. CO N TRO L kno b
6 lets yo u adjust L FO 1 Speed, and CO N TRO L kno b 7
lets yo u determine the L FO 1 Delay time o f the
mo dulatio n. CO N TRO L kno b 8 lets yo u adjust the
L FO 2 Speed fo r the L FO 2 wave, which is fixed to a
triang le wave.
