Using Wah Ctrl, Velo Curve, and Damper Ctrl in the EVD6
These parameters allow you to choose a suitable controller or velocity curve for the EVD6.
Wah Ctrl pop-up menu: Defines a MIDI Controller (number/name) as a manual Wah Wah
effect control. MIDI foot controllers, such as Expression pedals, are commonly used for
this type of task, but you can freely assign any MIDI controller. You can also use MIDI
velocity or aftertouch messages to control the wah effect. MIDI-control can be disabled
by choosing Off.
Note: You can simultaneously control the Wah Wah effect with both the built-in
envelope follower function (“auto-wah”—see Using the EVD6 Wah Wah Effect) and a
manual controller. In this situation, the effects of the envelope follower and manual
controls are mixed.
Wah Pedal Position slider (Controls view): Choose View > Controls to access the Wah
Pedal Position slider. The value of this parameter represents the current pedal position,
ensuring that it is saved with the setting.
Velo Curve pop-up menu: The EVD6 offers nine preset velocity curves. These allow you
to set up a curve that is suitable for your playing style, or the chosen model. The nine
curves available are: fix25%, fix50%, fix75%, fix100%, convex1, convex2, linear (the
default), concave1, and concave2.
The “fix” curves are linear curves, with a fixed dynamic range of 25%, 50%, and so
on.
The concave curves are less dynamically responsive in the center octaves of the
keyboard range.
The convex curves are more dynamically responsive in the center octaves of the
keyboard range.
Damper Ctrl pop-up menu: Allows you to choose the MIDI controller (or MIDI velocity
or aftertouch) that you want to use to control the Damper parameter. Choosing the
Off setting disables MIDI control of the Damper parameter.
