≤
off, on.
In this parameter the cursor can be positioned at "E1:" or "E2:" to individually
turn the distortion effect on or off for elements 1 and 2, respectively. When "on" the
output of the corresponding element is fed to the input of the modulation stage, and when
"off" the modulation stage is bypassed. The "E2:" parameter will not appear when
editing a single-element voice.
Overdrive
≤
0 ... 100 %.
Sets the intensity of the overdrive or distortion effect. Higer values produce more

distortion.

Device
≤
