effects 1 offers 

Tremolo, Pan, Wah

 and 

Ring Modulator

 effects. The 

RATE

 knob sets 

the rate of each effect, or in case of the 
Wah the frequency of the peak resonant 
filter.

TREM

 (Tremolo) is an effect which modu-

lates the volume of the sound at a variable 
rate. The effect has three selectable depths 
ranging from moderate to more dramatic 
volume modulation. The rate range is 

0-10

The 

PAN

 effect provides a cyclic panning 

modulation that smoothly moves the sig-
nal between the left and right sides of the 
stereo image. There are three different Pan 
settings, ranging from small to full amounts 
of panning. The rate can be varied be-
tween 0-10,5 Hz.

The 

WAH

 effect consists of a resonant low-

pass filter, which can be swept across the 
frequency range, using the rate control. 
The effect is sensitive to the volume of the 
sound, which means that the velocity with 
which you play determines the amount of 
“Quack” achieved. The rate range is 

0-10

at slow rates, the 

RM

 - ring Modulator - effect has a Tremolo-like quali-

ty. Higher rates will give an increasingly inharmonic, metallic sound. The 
pitch, or rate of the effect is controlled with the rate control, and ranges 
from 

0-10

.

The 

CTRL PED

 function lets you control any of these effects using a 

Control Pedal. For the Tremolo and Pan effects, the pedal will alter the 
effect 

amount

, whereas the ring Modulator will have its 

rate

 altered 

when using the pedal. The Wah effect - just like a real Wah Wah pedal - 
has its filter frequency altered by the position of the pedal.

eFFeCTs 2

effects 2 provides a selection of modulation 
effects, including two types of 

Phaser, 

a

 

Flanger

, two 

Chorus

 types and a 

Vibe

 ef-

fect. each effect has its rate altered by the 

RATE

 control.

The 

PHASER

 effect produces a characteris-

tic sweeping, or “phasing” sound. There are 
two Phaser types to chose from and the 
rate range is 

0-10,5 Hz

.

The 

FLANGER

 effect will give any sound 

source a “swooshy” and resonant quality. 
its rate range is 

0-10,5 Hz

.

The versatile 

CHORUS

 effect gives the 

impression of slighthly widening, or with 
more extreme settings severely detuning 
the sound. There are two Chorus types, the 
second being more bold in character. The 
rate can be varied between 

0-2,7 Hz

The classic 

VIBE

 effect produces a sound 

with both pitch-bending and phasing qual-
ities. The rate of this effect has a range of 

0-10,5 Hz

The effects 2 section has an additional 

DEEP

 mode, which will give each effect a more pronounced character.

eFFeCTs

The effects section consists of four different effect units capable of processing either the Piano or the sample synth section, an equalizer which can 
be used to process either or both sections and a global reverb effect. all units apart from the reverb have a 

SOURCE

 control which can be set to 

PIANO

SYNTH

 or none. When no source is selected the effect unit is bypassed. 

 

M

In general the effects are applied in the order in which they appear on the panel, but there are some exceptions. For example, the Pan effect of 
the Effect 1 section is placed after the Spkr/Comp effects in order for it to retain its usability.
