two types of MIDI messages will act as the modulation sources, and you can adjust
how much they will affect the Wedge’s parameters by either a positive or negative
amount.
The two parameters in each Configuration which can be modulated via MIDI have
been chosen very carefully to provide the most-desired modulation combinations.
The two modulation sources are designated as Modulator X and Modulator Y. In
the Utility mode, you can select the type of MIDI message which will be designated
as each Modulator. The parameters that Modulators X and Y control are determined
by the selected Program’s Configuration, as shown on the Modulation Parameters
Index on the next page. Example: If using any of the Stereo Reverb Configurations,
Modulator X controls the Reverb’s decay time, while Modulator Y controls the
Reverb’s wet/dry mix.
Keep in mind that both Modulator X and Y can be assigned to the same MIDI
message. Therefore, a single MIDI source can modulate two different parameters
simultaneously.
Defining the Modulation Sources
To select which type of MIDI messages will be used as Modulators X and Y:
Ê
Press [
UTIL
].
The [
UTIL
] button will light .
Ë Continue pressing the [
UTIL
] button until page 3 is selected.
The display will look like this:
Ì Move the [
A
] slider to edit the Modulator X field and select the type of MIDI
message that will be used by Modulator X.
You can choose from: pitch-bend (
bnd
), aftertouch (
AFt
), note number (
not
), velocity
(
UEL
), or a continuous controller number from 000–119.
Í Move the [
B
] slider to edit the Amplitude X field. This parameter specifies the
amount of control Modulator X will have over the parameters it controls.
This can be set anywhere from -99 to +99.
Î
Repeat steps Ë and
Í
, substituting sliders [
A
] and [
B
] with sliders [
C
] and [
D
] to
select the type of MIDI message for Modulator Y and adjust its amplitude.
