Tweaking the Effects
Don’t like the Double, Morph or Echo that you hear? No problem, you can tweak several parameters of each
effect.
Each effect button is labeled with light gray text in one or more corners of the button. If you press and hold
“Level” (for example) in the top left corner of the Double button, then turn the Control Knob, you’ll adjust the
amount of doubling. Alternatively, if you press and hold the “Style” area in the bottom right corner of the
Double button, you’ll change the doubling style when you turn the Control Knob.
Every corner parameter label can be held down to edit that particular parameter with the Control Knob.
When a parameter edit is underway…
•
The LED ring will display the currently selected parameter value,
•
The Control Knob will edit this parameter, ranging (clockwise) from min to max, and
•
The pressed FX button will pulse on and off. At this point you won’t need to keep holding it down to
continue editing.
To exit a parameter edit simply tap the active FX button again, or tap a different FX button. This will either
return the Control Knob to MIDI-LEAD Mix editing, or switch the Control Knob to editing the corner parameter
closest to where you actually pressed the new FX button.
Styles and Mods
In addition to parameters like
Level
,
Shift
,
Gender
,
Mode
,
Key
,
Div
,
Delay
and
Reverb
, you’ll see that four of the
effects have a
Style
parameter. Styles are essentially mini-presets for the effect in question. Changing any style
will instantly update a number of deeper effect parameters that are not available for direct Control Knob
editing. Style selections appear on the LED Ring as single color-coded LEDs.
Mods
are related to the currently selected Style. They appear as levels on the LED Ring, colored to match the
Style. You can think of each mod as custom ‘Tweak’ parameter matched to the Style in question.
Now that the basics are out of the way, let’s check out Perform-VE’s effects!
