012: Sub Oscill

(Stereo Sub Oscillator)

This effect adds very low frequencies to the input sig‐
nal. It is very useful when simulating a roaring drum
sound or emphasizing powerful low range. This effect
is different from the equalizer in that you can add very
low range harmonics. You can also adjust the oscillator
frequency to match a particular note number, for use as
an octaver.

a: OSC Mode, b: Note Interval, b: Note Fine
The "OSC Mode" parameter selects the oscillator operation
mode. When Note (Key Follow) is selected, the oscillator's
frequency is determined based on the note number, allowing
you to use it as an octaver. The "Note Interval" parameter sets
the pitch offset from the original note number by semitone
steps. The "Note Fine" parameter allows you to fine-tune in
steps of cents.
d: Envelope Pre LPF
This parameter sets the upper limit of the frequency range to
which very low harmonics are added. Adjust this parameter if
you do not want to add lower harmonics to the higher range.

013: Talking Mod

(Talking Modulator)

This effect adds an unusual character, like a human
voice, to the input signal. Modulating the tone via
dynamic modulation, you can create an interesting
effect that sounds as if the guitar or synthesizer is talk‐
ing.

c: Voice Top, d: Voice Center, e: Voice Bottom
These parameters assign vowels to the top, center, and bot-
tom position of the controller.
E.g.: When "Voice Top"=A, "Voice Center"=I, and "Voice Bot-
tom"=U:
If "Sweep Mode "is set to D-mod and Ribbon is selected as
the modulation source, moving your finger from the right to
left of the ribbon controller will change the sound from "a" to
"i," then "u."
