Effects List
16: STEP RING MOD

(STEP RING MODULATOR)

This is a ring modulator that uses a 16-step sequence to vary the
frequency at which modulation is applied.

Step Ring Mod
Parameter Range
Step 01–16 0–127
Rate # 0.05–10.00 Hz, note
Attack # 0–127
Low Gain -15– +15 dB
High Gain -15– +15 dB
Balance # D100:0W–D0:100W
Level 0–127
You can use multi-effect control to make the step sequence play
again from the beginning (p. 215).
17: TREMOLO
Cyclically modulates the volume to add tremolo effect to the sound.
