3. WAH

This effect causes a major pitch change by changing fil- ter frequency.

¦The Jog dial is used to change the filter frequency.

¦The DEPTH dial is used to change filter characteristics and thereby emphasize the tone color (the level increases as the setting approaches the “MAX” position).

4. RING

This effect changes the shape of the sine wave of the original sound to create a bell-like sound.

¦The Jog dial is used to change sine wave frequency.

¦The DEPTH dial is used to change the mix of the original sound and the ring modulator sound.

5. FUZZ

This effect distorts a specific sound in the original sound source.

¦The Jog dial is used to select the band that is to be distorted.

¦The DEPTH dial changes the amount of distortion that is ap- plied (the level increases as the setting approaches the “MAX” position).

NOTE:

The digital jog break RING (modulator) and FUZZ may gener- ate a small level of sound effects even when no input is being made.

3. WAH

Cet effet entraine un changement général de la hauteur du son en agissant sur la fréquence du filtre.

¦La molette pas-à-pas est utilisée pour changer la fréquence du filtre.

¦Le potentiomètre de réglage DEPTH est utilisé pour changer les caractéristiques du filtre, ce qui permet d’accentuer le timbre (le niveau augmente au fur et à mesure que le réglage approche de la position “MAX”).

4. RING

Cet effet permet de changer la forme de l’onde sinusoïdale du son original de manière à créer un son semblable à celui d’une cloche.

¦La molette pas-à-pas est utilisée pour changer la fréquence de l’onde sinusoïdale.

¦Le potentiomètre de réglage DEPTH est utilisé pour changer le mixage du son original et du son modulateur de cloche.

5. FUZZ

Cet effet provoque une distorsion d’une sonorité spécifique dans la course du son original.

¦La molette pas-à-pas est utilisée pour sélectionner la bande qui doit subir la distorsion.

¦Le potentiomètre de réglage DEPTH est utilisé pour changer le pourcentage de distorsion qui est appliqué (le niveau augmente au fur et à mesure que le réglage approche de la position “MAX”).

REMARQUE:

Les effets de coupure numérique par molette pas-à-pas RING (modulateur) et FUZZ risquent de produire de faibles effets acoustiques si aucune entrée n’est appliquée.
