Using ESS to control a parameter

SS (Expression Step Sequencer) controls a variety of effect parameters

in a stepwise fashion, letting you control your sound in completely new

ways. For example, you can use the step sequencer to control the SPEED

parameter of a modulation effect to create complex modulation that would not

have been possible until now. You can control the MANUAL parameter of the VOX

WAH or FILTRON effects to produce stepped-wah sounds, or control the PITCH of

the PITCH SHIFTER effect to create arpeggio-like effects.

The AX3000B’s ESS function operates between the expression pedal and the tar-

get parameter you specify. When you activate ESS, the sequencer will control the

target parameter that you speciﬁed for the expression pedal, and the expression

pedal will control the ESS.

ESS PARAMETERS

[1] “SPEED”

PEdL, 0.5–100

Adjusts the speed of the sequencer. Higher values

produce faster speeds. If you select PEdL, you’ll

be able to use the pedal position to switch steps.

[2] “SMOOTH”0.0–10.0 Speciﬁes the smoothness of the steps. Lower val-

ues will cause the parameter to change abruptly,

and higher values will make the parameter change

smoothly.

[3]

“STEPMODE”

2-F, 3-F,,,2-A,,,2-A.,,,2-r,,,2-F1,,,2-A1,,,2-A.1,,,8-A.1

(LAST STEP-MODE) Indicates the number of steps and what will hap-

pen after the last step.

“*-#(1)” The display indicates *: LAST STEP number, #: Mode, 1: 1-shot.

4-F (4 step forward) Repeatedly advance from step 1 to step 4 .

(12341234 ... etc.)

4-A (4 step alternate) Repeatedly advance from step 1 to step 4 and

then back to step 1. (1234321234321 ... etc.)

4-A. (4 step alternate 2) Repeatedly advance from step 1 to step 4 and

then back to step 1. (123443211234 ... etc.)

4-r (4 step random) Randomly select a step 1 through 4.

(241324122 ... etc.)

4-F1 (4 step forward,1-shot)Advance from step 1 to step 4, and then stop.

(1234)

4-A1 (4 step alternate,

1-shot)

Advance from step 1 to step 4, then back to step 1

and stop. (1234321)
