Vocal µMod block / tab
Pronounced “Micro Mod”, the µMod block in-
cludes effects like micro-pitch shifting (hence
Micro Mod), Flanger, Chorus, Rotor and more.
These effects can be subtle, like “Thicken”, or
quite extreme with “Tube Up” or “Alien Voiceover”.
Tips and tricks for working
with the Vocal µMod effect
– Try combining µMod set to one of the “Clone”,
“Wider” or “Thicken” styles with your Harmo-
ny or Double effects to increase the depth of
sound.
– Songs like “Believe” by Lenny Kravitz use
Flanger to create its iconic sound.
– If you use styles like “Cylon” or “Alien
Voiceover”, it’s probably best to use them for
small sections of a song or for a fun effect
while addressing the audience, rather than a
full-time effect.
– The advanced controls allow you to determine
which other effects, like Harmony, are sent to
the µMod block. This allows you to add µMod
effects to whichever components of the signal
you would like and keep other signals “clean”.
Lead to µMod and Harm(ony) to µMod param-
eters
– Remember that 0 dB means “high volume” –
not “no volume”!
– Most level controls max out at 0 dB, but a few
– such as Guitar Trim in the Headphone Mix –
can go higher.
