Using The Arrm Function - Zoom PFX-9003 Operation Manual

Using the ARRM Function

The ARRM function utilizes various control waveforms (sawtooth, sine
wave, triangle, square) generated internally by the PFX-9003 to cyclically
modify effect parameters. The volume, DRIVE module, MOD module, or
REV module can be selected as control target.
When the DRIVE module, MOD module, or REV module are selected, the
effect parameter that is actually controlled by the ARRM function depends
on the currently selected effect type. For example, when triangle wave is
selected as control waveform and the control target is the effect type F-WAH
in the MOD module, the wah frequency (FREQ parameter) will change,
resulting in a cyclic wah sound.

The control waveform cycle is always linked to the rhythm tempo. If you play a
rhythm pattern while the ARRM function is active, the effect will be modulated in
sync with the rhythm pattern.
To use the ARRM function for varying an effect parameter in real time,
proceed as follows.
1.
In play mode, select the patch.
2.
Press the [EDIT/CANCEL] key to activate the edit mode, and
then use the CURSOR [
ARRM module.
If the ARRM module is set to off, press the [TUNER/BYPASS] key to turn
the module on.
