Start by using just the dry instrument signal turned up to 127 in the Main Mixer. In the
chorus, set the INSTR slider to around 22. Now, starting with LFO A FRQ and moving to the
right, set the remaining parameter sliders to the following two combinations:
● 4, 9, 63, 127, 25, 19, 63, 31, 27, 22, 54, 110
● 0, 0, 63, 127, 25, 0, 63, 31, 0, 0, 27, 110

FI as octaver

Many analogue octave pedals produce a square wave one octave down from their input
signal and this can be done on the FI too. Program a square wave oscillator with coarse
tuning of -12. (Add another square wave two octaves down if desired.) Then use the lowpass
filter with a static cutoff to remove the higher frequencies to taste. You can experiment with
pulse width offset setting to further change the harmonic content of the sound. Try adding
subtle envelope or envelope follower control to add bloom to the notes. Add EQ to beef up
the bass if necessary. Mix in some dry sigal at the Main Mixer to taste. You could take this
idea further and use a Flexi Controller to be able to bring the dry signal in and out via an
expression pedal. You could also use the default CC11 or CC74 (or your own choice of CC)
to adjust the filter on the fly.

FI as pedal wah

This is another quite straightforwardly achievable effect. As with the envelope-controlled
filter, you will need to route the dry signal through the filter using the VCF INPUT INSTR
slider and raise the VCF LIN and VCF LOG sliders in the Main Mixer. In theory you could
use an expression pedal controlling CC11/CC74 to get a 2-, 4-, or 8-octave sweep of the
filter (depending on the range set via VCF CONTROL RANGE in the ​
this isn't defined enough; better results can be achieved by using a Flexi Controller with an
expression pedal assigned to the filter cutoff (via any available MIDI CC) and specifying your
own sweep range using the split sliders. Some famous wah-wah pedals use a bandpass
filter instead of a lowpass filter so experiment to see which works best. You could try adding
some resonance to add some variety. More dramatic results are possible when combined
with overdrive and/or distortion.
