CHAPTER 2. ANATOMY AND FUNCTIONS

6.
ENGAGE
- This footswitch turns the entire Mothership 2 on
and off. When the engage light is turned on, the Mothership 2
is active. The Mothership 2 is a true bypass pedal.
7.
and
SUB
- This knob determines the volume of the square wave
voice.
SUB
- This knob determines the volume of the sub-octave
voice. This is a sine wave that always follows an octave below
the fundamental pitch of your input signal.
8.
CLEAN and VCO
CLEAN
- This knob determines the volume of your clean
signal voice.
VCO
- This knob determines the volume of the voltage
controlled oscillator (VCO) voice. The VCO voice is a triangle
wave.
9.
OUT and GLIDE
OUT
- This knob determines the master output volume of
all your blended voices.
GLIDE
- This knob determines the rate of portamento.
This is heard as the time it takes for the VCO and Square Wave
voices to move from one note to another.
Note:
Turning the GLIDE control fully counter-clockwise will
disable the portamento function, providing the fastest, most ac-
curate pitch-tracking.
Note:
When the SYNC function is turned on, the Glide function
sweeps through the overtones that result from slaving the VCO
to the pitch tracking system. Turning the GLIDE control fully
clockwise will result in the most dramatic effect.

DYNAMICS and TUNE
DYNAMICS
- This knob determines how closely the en-
velope of the voices respond to how hard you play.
TUNE
- This knob determines the fine-tuning of the VCO
and
(square wave) voices.
