The effects
Wah pedal
The Wah effect was named after its sound and is a special lowpass
filter with a resonance control that amplifies the frequency band
around the cutoff frequency. The pedal controls the cutoff frequency
opening and closing the filter. Just like in real life the Virtual Bassist’s
Wah pedal is inserted between the bass and the amp.
Resonance
The Resonance knob in the top right corner of the pedal controls the
intensity of the Wah effect. Turning this knob up amplifies the fre-
quency band around the cutoff frequency. Higher Resonance values
make the Wah effect more intense. From “wa” to “uuaah”.
Wah control
When the Wah speed is set to zero you can manually control the
pedal with your mouse or the modulation wheel of your MIDI key-
board. Of course this movement can be recorded or written as auto-
mation information in your project.
The wah pedal can be controlled by any MIDI CC#, see page 64.
