So, to get modulation going, enter Menu 4 or Menu 5, pick the Modulation Shape (Clock7 or
Clock8), then pick the Modulation Mode (Clock 11). The POTS are active now. Turn any POT to
set its modulation depth and use POT7 and POT9 to set the tempo (rate) and LFO level.
You can use TAP TEMPO function to set the modulation rate. For that, in Player Mode, hold the
FX FOOTSWITCH longer than 2 seconds, then use it for tapping the tempo. The TAP TEMPO
function ends automatically in 5 seconds when you stop tapping.
There is TEMPO LED in the CLOCK, left from the rotary encoder. The TEMPO LED blinks with
modulation speed you have set or obtaining from an external MIDI device.
For MODULATION, the SPREAD function is special (POT 8 and POT 10 in Menu 3,4,5). By default,
SPREAD POTS control the frequency rate of modulation, applying different speed on high or low
strings. But you can use POT 8 to make the high and low string modulate in different phases,
giving you a phasing kind of effect.

Troubleshooting to get LFO going. Checklist:
o
Is LFO on? (Menu 4 or 5, Clock Position 11)
o
Is LFO controlled by MIDI? You must have an external MIDI device working,
otherwise switch this feature off (Menu 4 or 5, Clock Position 9 to Dark).
o
You must have at least one modulation type set (Menu 4 or 5, Clock Position 7 or
8).
o
You must turn at least one of the Pots 1…6, thus defining modulation depth for at
least one parameter.
o
In Menu 4 or 5, Pot 9 that controls modulation amplitude, must not be in zero
position.
o
Have you turned on LFO MIDI CTRL? If yes, then LFO runs only if you input one of
the three control types.

NVELOPE
(ENV)
Menu 6 “Envelope” (POT06 blinking) let you control 6Appeal parameters with an externally
created envelope. We are planning to build a pedal that creates envelopes, but for the time being
you probably have to opt for a Roland device.
The Envelope control is to form individual string shapes over time. For example, slow attack
sounds (imitating cello/violin type of sounds), or staccato (banjo) type of sounds. This needs
some kind of string pluck detector, which we plan to realize in some of next hexaphonic
processors. So far the use of envelopes is quite limited, but you may use some external pluck
detector.
