ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Two Engines
NOVA Modulation contains two identical effect Engines. This allows you to use two different modulation effects at the same time, or to even combine two identical algorithms for a more extreme and pronounced effect.
But for a more traditional effect – or to listen to only one effect at a time when creating a new preset – either Engine can be turned off by pressing an holding the EFFECT button for approximately 500 ms. Pressing the EFFECT button again (in this case, holding is not necessary) turns the Engine on again.
LFO Sync
What is an LFO?
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) is an audio signal with a very low frequency that creates a pulsating rhythm rather than an audible tone. In the NOVA Modulator, this rhythm is routed to control the speed of the various effects.
LFO Sync
•Press the LFO SYNC button to activate this function.
The LFO Sync function allows synchronization of the two effect Engines’ Speed parameters. With LFO Sync activated, tapping the tempo on the TAP TEMPO foot switch or turning Engine A’s SPEED knob will set both Engines to the same tempo – i.e. synchronize them.
Use LFO Sync when you want to create pronounced effects. E.g., you might double two identical Chorus sounds, sync the tempo of a Tremolo effect to a Flanger/Phaser or create rhythmic Tremolos by using two Tremolos with different subdivisions. This feature really opens up a world of sounds and applications, so experiment and be creative!
The SPEED Knob in LFO Sync mode
In LFO Sync mode, the SPEED knob on Engine A becomes a master speed control for both Engines and disables the SPEED knob on Engine B.
