16.MOD FX — SYNTH/VOCODER

The modulation effect applies various types of cyclic change to the original sound. You can use it to give the sound greater depth, or to produce the impression that multiple sound sources are being heard simultaneously. You can also use LFO modulation to simulate cyclic changes produced by a performer on an instrument, such as breathing on a wind instrument or the strings of a string instrument. "TYPE" (knob 1 ) selects the type of modulation effect, "EFFECT DEPTH" (knob 3 ) sets the depth and the amount of feedback for the modulation effect. "LFO SPEED" (knob 2 ) sets the speed of modulation.

TYPE [Flanger/Chorus, Ensemble, Phaser]

Selects the effect type.

Flanger/Chorus ():

This effect modulates the delay time of the input signal to add depth and warmth to the sound. Increasing the "EFFECT DEPTH" value will pro- duce a flanger effect.

Ensemble ():

This effect uses multiple chorus units to add three-dimensional depth and spaciousness to the sound.

Phaser ():

This effect continuously modulates the phase of the sound, creating motion within the sound, a sweep- ing and twisting sensation.

LFO SPEED

[0...127]

Specifies the speed of the modula- tion effect LFO.

EFFECT DEPTH

[0...127]

Specifies the modulation depth and amount of feedback. Increasing this value will deepen the modulation effect and also increase the amount of feedback. If you do not wish to apply the effect, set this to 0.

Excessively high settings of this parameter may cause the output to be distorted.
