P T
ITCH
Both the Chorus and Flanger share the same Parameter pages for their Values:
P4 The SPEED Parameter
This Parameter sets the rate at which the Effect will sweep. Lower values will create a
slower, more subtle sweep, while higher values will create a more intense effect.
Tip: For a natural ensemble sound, set the Speed to a Value of 30 or lower. For
radical rotating speaker or tremolo / vibrato effects, set the Speed to a Value of
40 or higher.
P5 The SHAPE Parameter
This Parameter sets the shape of the LFO waveform that drives the Pitch Effect. For a
smooth, more subtle ensemble effect, select SINE. For a stronger, more noticeable
effect, select TRIANGLE.
7 2
This effect creates a warm ensemble sound, especially
useful for pitched instruments such as vibes and bells.
This effect creates a sweeping sound which, when set to
a moderate amount can be reminiscent of ocean waves,
or when set to an extreme amount can be reminiscent of
a jet airplane flying overhead.
This effect creates a metallic sound, emphasizing the
strongest frequencies of the timbre effected. It is
particularly useful for electronic sounds, where it can
add the edge needed to cut through a mix more.
