The Variation Parameters

The variation stage includes reverb, delay, echo, modulation, distortion, wah, and a range of other effects.

Type-Specific Variation Parameters

•See separate “List Book”

Each of the variation types, selected via the “Type” parameter, above, has a different set of parameters that specify the actual variation effect sound. Refer to the separate “List Book” for information on the individual parameters for each variation type.

AT VarCtrl

•Aftertouch Variation Control

•Settings: -64 … +63

This parameter only becomes available when the “VarConnect” parameter (page 93) is set to “INS” (i.e. when the variation stage is connected as an insertion effect). Aftertouch variation control allows one of the selected variation effect parameters to be controlled in real time via keyboard aftertouch pressure. The parameter which can be controlled is individually preset for each variation effect type (see the separate “List Book”). The “AT VarCtrl” parameter determines to what degree the effect parameter is affected by aftertouch pressure. For example, if the TREMOLO effect is selected aftertouch controls the “LFO Frequency” param- eter. In this case higher positive “AT VarCtrl” values cause increased aftertouch pressure to increase the LFO speed, while higher negative values cause increased aftertouch pressure to decrease the LFO speed. If this parameter is set to “+00” aftertouch control has no effect.

AC1VarCtrl

•Assignable Controller 1 Variation Control

•Settings: -64 … +63

This parameter only becomes available when the “VarConnect” parameter (page 93) is set to “INS” (i.e. when the variation stage is connected as an insertion effect). Assignable Controller variation
