When the SET
button is pressed and held down (LED flashing) this control becomes the 'master' speed
(EDIT)
control for any activated effects. This feature can be used to change the trigger rate of up to four effects at once in
real-time producing dramatic speeding up / slowing down effects. The speed of the 'slaved' effects will 'jump' to the
value of this control as soon as it is moved.
Also, when the SET

effects simultaneously. See "Setting the BEATS" on page 21 for more information.
BEATS
These indicators show the automatic BEATS setting (if selected) for the FILTER/LFO or FLANGER effect. See
"Setting the BEATS" on page 21.
SET (EDIT)
This button selects the automatic BEATS setting mode for the FILTER/LFO or FLANGER effect. See "Setting the
BEATS" on page 21.
ACTIVATE
This button switches the FILTER/LFO or FLANGER effect on and off (or to 'cue' if MASTER ON/OFF is set to OFF).
See "Activating the effects" on page 11.
THE FLANGER
The Flanging effect's name was derived from the way it was first produced back in the sixties, by manually slowing
a tape spool (
touching the sides or 'flanges' of the spool)
'whooshing' sound, which has been reproduced digitally with a greater degree of reliability and flexibility on the
BPM FX - 'PRO'. This can be used as an alternative to the Filter, giving you a different way to sweep through the
frequencies in time with the tempo. By feeding more or less of the signal back in on itself, the flanging effect can be
exaggerated or made more subtle.
We have included two types of flanger in the FEDERATION PRO. Flanger 1 accentuates notch frequencies
the range,
the most obvious being from 0-250Hz resulting in a boost to low frequency sounds such as the bass
drum. Flanger 2 accentuates the opposite frequency bands, resulting in a cut to the low frequencies. To
flanger effects, press and hold down the
position. As the control is moved between the 12 o'clock position and 2 o'clock position, Flanger 1 will be selected.
Between the 2 o'clock and fully clockwise position, Flanger 2 will be selected, the main display confirming the
settings as follows:
