HOT HAND
Depth
InHotHandmode,thedepthknob
becomesthedepthoftheeffect
basedonthesensorinput.Itcan
alternativelybethoughtofasagain
controlfortheHotHandsignal.
Increasingthedepthwillcause
theangertomovemorebased
onsmallermotionsofthesensor.De-
creasingthedepthwilldecreasethe
movementoftheanger.Inenvelope
and
LFOmode,thetworegionsof
thedepthknobwereusedtocontrol
thedepthintwoseparatemodes.In
HotHandmode,thedepthincreases
turningtheknobtotheleftorright
exceptthatinthe‘+’regionthemo-
tionoftheangerwillbefromlowto
highandinthe‘-‘regiontheanger
willmovefromhightolow.Thiseffec-
tivelyinvertstheHotHandsignals.
MotionControl
The
SPEEDcontrolbecomesthe
MOTIONcontrolinHotHandmode
andisusedtosmoothouttheinput
fromthesensorbylteringoutfast
changesinthesignals.Theamount
ofsmoothingiscontrolledbythe
knob.Turningtheknobtowards
FLAIL
providesthemostamountofsmooth-
ingandtheeffectwillnowonlyreact
tolarge,slowmotionsofthesensor.
Thisisusefulwhenyouonlywantthe
effecttorespondtolarge,deliber-
atemotions.Turningtheknoball
thewayto
PICKsetsthesmoothing
ataminimum.Thismeansthatfast
changesinthesensorsignalwillbe
appliedtotheeffect.Themotions
createdfromnormalpickingwillbe
enoughtomovetheanger.Thismay
causethesoundtobetoo“jittery”,
inwhichcase,turntheknobtowards
STRUMandFLAILtogetthedesired
response.The
STRUMsettingisa
nicecompromisethatallowssome
moderatelyfastmotionsthrough
withoutbeingtoojittery.
Calibration
TheTri-ModFlangerhasacalibra-
tionfeaturewhichisonlyusedin
HotHandmode.However,calibra-
tionisnotrequiredbeforeuse.The
calibrationfeatureallowsyoutoset
themidpointoftheangersweepfor
anypositionofyourhand.Depending
onyourplayingstyle,youmayndit
usefultotrysomedifferentcalibra-
tionpositions.Themostcommonuse
ofcalibrationissettingyourresting
handpositionontheguitartobe
themidpointoftheangersweep.
Calibrationcanalsobeusefulifyou
areputtingthesensoronaheadband
orotheralternatelocations.
Toperformacalibration
•TurntheEFFECTknobtothe
CALIBRATEposition.
•Holdthesensorinthedesired
position.
•Whileholdingthesensorsteady,
pressthe
ON/OFFfootswitchand
waitfor1second.
•TurntheEFFECTknobawayfrom
calibratetouseyournewcalibra-
tionsetting.Note:Calibration
settingswillbesavedbetween
powercycles.
•Ifyouhavetroublewithcalibration
andneedtogetbacktothedefault
setting,placethesensoronaat,
levelsurfacewiththeblue
LED
facingdownandrunthecalibration
procedureagain.
FEATURES
TheSoundbloxTri-ModFlangeris
anewtypeofangeror“Envelope
Flanger”effect.Theunitfeatures
multipleangertypesrangingfrom
classictomodernandbeyond.Each
angertypecanbecontrolledby
anenvelopefolloweroran
LFO.An
envelopefollowerisanalgorithm
thatrespondstotheamplitude(or
volume)oftheincomingsignaland
createsacontrolsignalbasedonthe
inputlevel.Thiscontrolsignalisused
to“move”ormodulatetheanging
effect.Inadditiontocontrollingthe
angerwiththeenvelopefollower,
itcanalsobedrivenwithan
LFO
(LowFrequencyOscillator).
LFOsare
mostcommonlyusedineffectslike
phasers,angers,andchoruses.
Finally,theangingeffectscanalso
becontrolledbyaHotHandMotion
Sensor.Eitherawiredorwireless
sensorcanbepluggedintothesen-
sorinputonthebackpanel.When
asensorispluggedin,the
LFOand
envelopefolloweraredisengagedand
theunitgoesinto“HotHandMode”
andthecontrolstakeonslightlydif-
ferentfunctions.Also,thecalibrate
featureisintendedforusewiththe
“HotHandMode”only.TheTri-Mod
namecomesfromthefactthatthere
arethreedistinctmodulationsources
forcontrollingtheangereffects:
Envelope,
LFO,orHotHand.

WhiletheprimaryfunctionoftheTri-
ModFlangerisasastandaloneeffect
pedalyoualsohavetheoptionofex-
ploringsomeadditionalfunctionsby
plugginginaHotHandsensor.When
asensorispluggedintheenvelope
and
LFOmodesaredisabledandthe
unitgoesintoHotHandmode.In
HotHandmode,thecontrolstakeon
somesecondaryfunctions.Theseare
shownbythewhitetextbeneathmain
labeloftheknobs.
HotHandBasics
TheHotHandmotionsensorsare
soldseparatelyandcomeineither
wiredorwirelessversions.Both
willworkwiththeTri-ModFlanger.
Additionally,the
SENSORINjackwill
becompatiblewithanyfutureSource
Audiosensors.
TheHotHandringcontainsanaccel-
erometerthatrespondstoaccelera-
tionandisnotbasedonanytypeof
proximitytotheguitar.Bymoving
yourhandorbychangingtheposi-
tionofyourhandyoucanmodulate
theeffect.Foragooddescription
