Parameter Settings Function
INPUT
GAIN -24 to 24 dB Determines the input gain of the effect section.
DYNAMIC SECTION
THRESH -40 to 0 dB Level at which the envelope follower is triggered. When the input signal rises above the threshold, the envelope
‘opens’ at a rate determined by the Attack control. When the input signal drops below the threshold, the envelope
‘closes’ at a rate determined by the Decay control.
DEPTH -100 to 100 Amount (positive or negative) the envelope follower affects the Wah (or other lter) frequency (or Tremolo gain, or
Chorus delay length).
ATTACK 1 to 100 msec Rise time of the envelope follower
DECAY 100 to 1000 msec Fall time of the envelope follower
MOD -100 to 100, routable to Auto
LFO Shape (S), Rate (R), and
Depth (D)
Amount (positive or negative) the envelope follower affects the Auto section’s LFO Shape mix, Rate, or Depth
amount.
S R D (LED) LEDs Enables or disables the modulation of the Auto section’s LFO Shape, Rate, and Depth
SPLIT MODE LED Separates the envelope follower signal into a left and right channel, each with the reverse polarity of the other.
This allows one channel to increase the Wah lter (or other lter) frequency while the other channel decreases the
frequency
INPUT Input audio, side chain audio,
MIDI note, MIDI velocity, MIDI
controller
Selects incoming audio, side chain audio, MIDI note, MIDI velocity, or MIDI controller (1-128) as the source from
which the Dynamic envelope follower is triggered
AUTO SECTION
SHAPE -100 to 100 The mix between two selected LFO waveforms
SHAPE TYPES: Sine, Triangle, Saw Up, Saw
Down, Square
LFO waveforms
SHAPE MULTIPLE: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x The second shape can also be a multiple of the rst shape (1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x)
RATE 0.1 to 10 Speed of the LFO
RATE MULTIPLIER: 0.1x, 1x, 10x Rate control for 0.1x, 1x, and 10x operation
DEPTH 0 to 100 amount the Auto section affects the Wah (or other lter) frequency
SPREAD 0 to 180 Phase difference in the LFO for the left and right channel, up to 180 out of phase
SYNC MIDI Beat clock sync enable Enables MIDI beat clock syncing in a variety of beat intervals
<GROOVE> Slider: -180 to +180, 0 being
the un-grooved value
Moves the LFO within the MIDI beat clock timing to allow the peaks of the LFO waveform to hit (or miss) beat
boundaries
OUTPUT
OUT -24 to +24 dB Overall signal level adjustment. LED Meter lit to show output level.
