As you move your hand closer to the D Beam con-
troller, the volume of all harmonic bars will grad-
ually increase. When your hand is closest to the D
Beam controller, the harmonic bar volumes will be
at maximum, and the rotary will switch to FAST.
The rotary effect will switch between slow and
fast each time you position your hand over the D
Beam controller.
When you position your hand over the D Beam
controller, the ring modulator will be applied (p.
35). As you bring your hand closer to the D Beam
controller, the ring modulator depth will change.
Moving your hand over the D Beam will turn on
the wheel brake. When you take your hand away
from the D Beam controller, the wheel brake will
be turned off (p. 35).
Moving your hand near the D Beam controller will
produce the sound of a spring reverb unit being
jarred (p. 35).
Explanation
If ROTARY SPEED is assigned
to the D Beam, you can move
your hand over the D Beam to
make the rotary effect change
gradually from slow to fast, or
from fast to slow (p. 57).
The volume of the spring
shock can be adjusted with the
[REVERB] knob. The spring
shock is particularly effective if
"SPRING" is selected as the
reverb type (p. 37).
