Dynamic modulation to control an effect pa-

rameter in realtime

Asanexample,let’ssetupdynamicmodulationto
controlaneffectparameterinrealtime.
1. Asdescribedintheprocedurefor“Program
Effectssettings”onpage79,setIFX1to078:L/C/R
BPMDelay.Verif ythatyou’rehearingadelay
effect.
2. AccesstheProgP8:Routing/IFX–IFX1page.
Now, we can set the Dmod to change the delay
level via the Joystick
3. SetInputLevelDmodto+100.
4. SetSourcetoJS+Y:#01.
Thedelaysoundwilldisappear.
Theinputleveltotheeffectcanbecontrolledbythe
joystick.Asyoumovethejoystickawayfromyourself,
thedelaysoundwillgraduallyincrease.
In addition, we can use Dmod to change the feed-
back level via SW1
5. IntheP1:Basic/Controllers–ControllersSetup
page,settheSW1functiontoSW1Mod.CC#80,
andtheModetoTogg le.
ChooseP8:Routing/IFX–IFX1page.SettheFeedback
SrctoSW1:#80,andsetAmtto+30.
Whenyoumovethejoystickawayfromyourselfand
presstheSW1button,thefeedbacklevelwillincrease,
andthedelaysoundwillcontinueforalongertime.
TheAmtsettingspecifiesthefeedbacklevelthatwill
beineffectwhentheSW1buttonispressed.IfAmtis
setto–10,pressingtheSW1buttonwillreducethe
feedbacklevelto0.

Finally, we can use the MIDI/Tempo Sync

function to synchronize the delay time to the

arpeggiator tempo.

6. SetBPMtoMIDI.
7. ForL,C,andR,settheDelayBaseNoteandTimes
asdesired.
Forthisexample,setDelayBaseNotetoandTimes
