Using the Slider FX Bar effects

In Effects and Loop modes, the Slider FX Bar can be used to control 
an effect. The name of the effect is shown at the bottom of the display. 
Slide your finger, drag and stop or tap at any point to experiment with 
the current effect.

Assigning effects to the Slider FX Bar

There are a number of different Slider effect assignments available in the 
Effects and Loop modes.
To change the Slider effect, hold the respective mode button (Effects or 
Loop) and then, while still holding the mode button, tap either arrow 
button. Continue tapping to see and try all available options.

Effect action (Effects mode only)

In Effects mode, you can choose between four different effect 

actions 

that determine how your finger’s position on the Slider FX Bar changes 
the effect assigned to the Slider. The arrows to the left and the right of 
the Slider FX Bar effect name (e.g. > DUAL FILTER <) show which ef-
fect action is set. To try out other effect actions, hold the Effects button, 
then tap near the middle of the Slider FX Bar. The arrows shown in the 
display will change direction. Continue tapping to see and try all of the 
options available for the selected effect.

 

While recording or playing loops, you can change most sound-related 
settings. E.g., you can…
•  switch to Home mode and change presets
•  switch to Effects mode and turn effects on or off
•  activate Hit mode
•  change Harmony voices
•  switch to Mix mode and adjust the mix.
Experiment with combinations of loop layers and sounds. For example, 
you could use one slot to record a basic rhythm with some “Lo-Fi” 
Transducer effects and record song sections with classic vocal effects to 
other loop slots that you can select and mute as required.
