OPERATIONS

This unit consists of three blocks: the isolator unit, beat effect unit and the digital jog break unit. Each block operates independently of each other and the effects of each can be combined.

MODES D’UTILISATION

Cette boîte d’effets est constituée de trois étages : l’étage séparateur, l’étage d’effet de mesure et l’étage de coupure numérique par molette pas-à-pas. Chaque étage fonctionne indépendamment des autres tandis que les effets de l’un peuvent être combinés avec ceux des autres.
