User Manual

TATUS

ED — When the STATUS LED is lit, the HOG2 is in effect mode. When the STATUS LED is off, the HOG2 is in Buffered Bypass

mode.

BYPASS Footswitch — Press the BYPASS Footswitch to toggle the HOG2 between Bufferred Bypass and Effect mode.

Voice Controls

There are 10 Voice sliders on the HOG2. Each features a white cap with a black line and controls the output volume for its assigned voice.

Throughout this manual we will refer to all of the generated octaves and harmonics as voices.

-2 OCTAVE Slider — Controls the output volume of the -2 OCTAVES voice, which is 2 octaves below the original input signal. The -2

OCTAVES signal will be 1/4 the frequency of the input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the -2 OCTAVEs voice increas-

es.

-1 OCTAVE Slider — Controls the output volume of the -1 OCTAVE voice, which is 1 octave below the original input signal. The -1

OCTAVE signal will be 1/2 the frequency of the input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the -1 OCTAVE voice increases.

ORIGINAL Slider — Controls the output volume of the ORIGINAL voice. The ORIGINAL voice is your Dry signal sent through the

Expression Modes, Envelope and Filter, so it is treated just like all other voices with a white cap. The volume of the ORIGINAL voice will

increase as this slider is pushed upward.

+5TH Slider — Controls the output volume of the +5TH voice. The pitch of this voice is a perfect 5th note above the original input

note. For example if you play an A note, the HOG will output the first E note above the A. The +5TH signal will be 1.5 times the frequency

of the input signal. The volume of the +5TH voice increases as this slider is pushed upward.

+1 OCTAVE Slider — Controls the output volume of the +1 OCTAVE voice, which is 1 octave above the original input signal. The +1

OCTAVE signal will be twice the frequency of the original input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the +1 OCTAVE signal

will increase.

+1 OCTAVE +5TH Slider — Controls the output volume of the +1 OCTAVE +5TH voice. The pitch of this voice is a perfect 5th note

above the first octave above the original input note. For example if you play an A note, the HOG will output an E note one octave higher

than the +5TH slider's E note. The +1 OCTAVE +5TH signal will be 3 times the frequency of the input signal. The volume of the +1 OCTAVE

+5TH voice increases as this slider is pushed upward.

+2 OCTAVES Slider — Controls the output volume of the +2 OCTAVES voice, which is 2 octaves above the original input signal. The

+2 OCTAVES signal will be 4 times the frequency of the original input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the +2

OCTAVES signal increases.

+2 OCTAVES +3RD Slider — Controls the output volume of the +2 OCTAVES +3RD voice. The pitch of this voice is a major 3rd

note above the second octave above the original input note. For example if you play an A note, the HOG will output a C# note over two

octaves above the input. The +2 OCTAVES +3RD signal will be 5 times the frequency of the input signal. The volume of the +2 OCTAVES

+3RD voice will increase as this slider is pushed upward.

+3 OCTAVES Slider — Controls the output volume of the +3 OCTAVES voice, which is 3 octaves above the original input signal. The

+3 OCTAVES signal will be 8 times the frequency of the original input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the +3

OCTAVES signal increases.

+4 OCTAVES Slider — Controls the output volume of the +4 OCTAVES voice, which is 4 octaves above the original input signal. The

+4 OCTAVES signal will be 16 times the frequency of the original input signal. As this slider is pushed upward, the volume of the +4

OCTAVES signal will increase.

SPECTRAL GATE Button and LED — When the SPECTRAL GATE LED is lit, the Spectral Gate function is active and in the sig-

nal path. Press and release the SPECTRAL GATE Button to toggle this function On/Off. The Spectral Gate emphasizes the loudest frequency

or harmonic of the input signal and progressively reduces the volumes of other frequencies and harmonics in the input signal. Use the

Spectral Gate to simplify the sound of the HOG2 and reduce background noise.

Envelope and Filter Controls

ENVELOPE LOWER & UPPER Sliders — The Envelope sliders control the amplitude Attack or Decay of the voices. The

LOWER slider controls the lower 5 voices (-2 Octaves to +1 Octave); the UPPER slider controls the upper 5 voices (+1 Octave +5th to +4

Octaves).
