Effect List

Below is a brief overview of each effect type.
Flanger / Flanger Sync
Flanger is an effect that uses a delay line to emulate the classic warbling effect produced using two analog tape
machines together. This effect is best used as an insert by turning 'DIRECT' off. See page 150 for more on this.

Delay
Chorus 4-Voice / 2-Voice
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.
This effect is best used as an insert by turning 'DIRECT' off. See page 150 for more on this.

Autopan / Autopan BeatSync
This effect uses an LFO to move the incoming signal back and forth across the stereo field, creating a rotating effect.
This effect is best used as an insert by turning 'DIRECT' off. See page 150 for more on this.
WetDry
Rate
Tremolo / Tremolo BeatSync
This effect uses an LFO to raise and lower the volume of the incoming signal. Depending on the LFO shape, this can
vary in sound from a circular waving effect, to a stuttering "ON / OFF" effect.
This effect is best used as an insert by turning 'DIRECT' off. See page 150 for more on this.
WetDry
Rate
Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100%
effected.
Controls the speed of the flanger effect.
Controls how much of the output signal is fed back to the input, creating a more pronounced
effect. Both positive and negative feedback is available.
Controls how much of the frequency range of the incoming signal is effected.
Controls how much the outputted wet signal will be offset from the original input signal.
Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100%
effected.
Controls how much the outputted wet signal will be offset from the original input signal.
This adjusts the magnitude of the LFO modulation.
Controls how much of the frequency range of the incoming signal is effected.
Controls how much of the output signal is fed back to the input, creating a more pronounced
effect.
Controls the speed of the LFO.
Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100%
effected.
Controls the panning speed.
Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100%
effected.
Controls the speed of the LFO.
