Bite Sensor

The bite sensor controls the character of the vibrato effect you generate when you bite the mouthpiece while playing a note.

Note: The vibrato effect is obtained by biting the mouthpiece many times rather than a single steady bite.

To adjust the bite sensor:

1.Press and hold the Setup Button to enter Setup Mode.

2.Press the Hold Button or Interval Button to scroll through the options until bt (Bite Sensor) appears in the display.

3.Release the Setup Button. The display will show the current mode. Use the Hold Button or Interval Button to select any of the following options:

•FL (Filter): A high-pass filter will be applied to the bite sensor. When this is on, any note that sounds as you bite the mouthpiece will eventually return to its original state, even if you bite continuously. If you select this, press the Trans Button to turn it on or off. When it is on, a dot will appear in the display.

•Pb (Pitch Bend): Biting the mouthpiece will bend the pitch of the note. Press the Trans Button to turn it on or off. When it is on, a dot will appear in the display.

To set the depth of the pitch bend, press and hold the Trans Button, and then use the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the value: -63to +63 (values under -9will be shown with a dot between the digits). Negative values indicate a downward pitch bend, while positive values indicate an upward pitch bend.

•bS (Breath Sensor): Biting the mouthpiece will change the breath sensor's output. Press the Trans Button to turn it on or off. When it is on, a dot will appear in the display.

To set the depth of the change, press and hold the Trans Button, and then use the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the value: -99to +99 (values under -9will be shown with a dot between the digits). Negative values indicate a decrease in output, while positive values indicate an increase in output.
