3 Make a sweep with a high relative Q setting.
4 Switch Auto Gain to off, and repeat the sweep.
AutoWah Depth
In addition to using MIDI foot pedals (see above), the wah effect can be controlled
using the Auto Wah facility. The sensitivity of the Auto Wah can be set with the Depth
parameter. Range: 0.00 to 100. (See also “Envelope (Depth)” on page 374.)
Relative Q
The quality of the main filter peak can be increased/decreased, relative to the model
setting, thereby obtaining a sharper/softer wah sweep. When set to a value of 0, the
original setting of the model is active. Range: –1.00 to +1.00 (0.00 is the default)
Setting the Pedal Range
Common MIDI foot pedals have a much larger mechanical range than most classic Wah
pedals.
The exact sweep range of the wah filter effected by the MIDI foot pedal is set with the
Pedal Range parameters. The highest and lowest possible value reached by the pedal is
graphically represented by a gray bracket around the Pedal Position fader (represents
the current position of the Wah pedal). The left and right limit is set by clicking and
moving it with the mouse. Additionally both values can be moved simultaneously by
clicking in the center of the bracket and moving it to the left or right.
Spectral Gate
The Spectral Gate separates the signal above and below the Threshold level into two
independent frequency ranges that you can modulate separately. It can produce some
unusual and rich filtering effects.
