OVERVIEW

Modifiers allow sound parameters to be remote-controlled or automated in real time. For example, you might
use an expression pedal to operate a wah, whammy or volume, or use an LFO controller (Low Frequency
Oscillator) to sweep a filter. MIDI can also control sound changes, as in the example of using a Control Change
message (CC#) to toggle the HOLD switch of a delay.
Modifiers are easy to use, but also provide incredible depth of power for those who like to push limits.
