USE WITH HOT HAND
®
While the primary function of the Poly-Mod Pro is as a standalone effect
pedal you also have the option of exploring some additional functions by
plugging in a Hot Hand sensor. After connecting the sensor, use the
MOD
button to select Hot Hand mode. In Hot Hand mode, some knobs
SOURCE
assume an alternate function (see below).
Hot Hand Basics
The Hot Hand motion sensors are sold separately and come in either
wired or wireless versions. Both will work with the Poly-Mod Pro.
Additionally, the jack will be compatible with any future
SENSOR IN
Source Audio sensors.
The Hot Hand ring contains an accelerometer that responds to
acceleration and is not based on any type of proximity to the guitar.
By moving your hand or by changing the position of your hand you
can modulate the effect. For a good description of Hot Hand Theory,
download the Hot Hand Motion Controlled Wah Filters manual. It is
available at www.sourceaudio.net.
In Hot Hand mode, the knob becomes the depth of the
SWEEP RANGE
effect based on the sensor input. It can alternatively be thought of as a
gain control for the Hot Hand signal. Increasing the depth will cause the
filter to move more based on smaller motions of the sensor. Decreasing
the depth will decrease the movement of the filter. In Hot Hand mode,
the depth increases by turning the knob to the left or right. In the "Up"
region the motion of the filter will be from low to high and in the "Down"
region the filter will move from high to low. This effectively inverts the
Hot Hand signals.
The control adjusts the ring's sensitivity in Hot Hand mode and
SPEED
also selects which axis of the accelerometer will be used. The left side
of the knob selects and controls the response speed for the Y-axis of
the Hot Hand motion sensor while the right side selects and controls the
speed of the X-axis.
