07: Auto Wah

Wah is an effect that modifies the frequency characteristics of a filter over time, producing a unique tone. The wah effect can change in relation to the volume of the input signal, and/or cyclically.

Parameter	Value	Description

Filter Type	LPF, BPF	Type of filter
		LPF: The wah effect will be applied
		over a wide frequency range.
		BPF: The wah effect will be applied
		over a narrow frequency range
Polarity	DOWN, UP	When using the volume of the in-
		put signal to control the wah effect,
		this setting determines whether the
		frequency of the filter will be
		moved upward (UP) or downward
		(DOWN).
Frequency	0–127	Adjusts the frequency at which the
		wah effect will apply.
Peak	0–127	Adjusts the amount of the wah ef-
		fect that will occur in the range of
		the center frequency.
		Set a higher value for Q to narrow
		the range to be affected.
Trigger Sens	0–127	Adjusts the sensitivity with which
		the wah effect is controlled.

Parameter	Value	Description

Rate	0.05–10.0 Hz,	Frequency of modulation
	note
Depth	0–127	Depth of modulation
Ps Low Freq	50–4000 Hz	Frequency of the low range
Ps Low Gain	-15– +15 dB	Gain of the low range
Ps Hi Freq	2000–20000 Hz	Frequency of the high range
Ps Hi Gain	-15– +15 dB	Gain of the high range

08: Humanizer

This adds a vowel character to the sound, making it similar to a human voice.

Parameter	Value	Description

Overdrive	OFF, ON	Turns Drive on/off.
Sw
Drive	0–127	Degree of distortion
Vowel 1	a, e, i, o, u	First vowel
Vowel 2	a, e, i, o, u	Second vowel
Rate	0.05–10.0 Hz,	Frequency at which the two vowels
	note	will be switched
Depth	0–127	Effect depth
		With a setting of 0, it will be fixed at
		Vowel 1.
Trigger Sens	-60–0 dB, LFO	Level at which the two vowels will
		be switched
		-60–0 dB: When the specified level
		is exceeded, the sound will change
		to the other vowel at the frequency
		(speed) specified by Rate.
		LFO: The two vowel sounds will al-
		ternate at the frequency specified
		by Rate, regardless of the level.
Ps Low Freq	50–4000 Hz	Frequency of the low range
Ps Low Gain	-15– +15 dB	Gain of the low range
Ps Hi Freq	2000–20000 Hz	Frequency of the high range
Ps Hi Gain	-15– +15 dB	Gain of the high range
