CONTROLLER Page
1 JOY, 2 JOYSTICK -Y
The joystick can be used to modulate the parameters below by moving it up or down (away from you or
towards you).
Here, you can set the degree to which the joystick modulates each of the following parameters. The degree
to which the up and down movements affect the parameter can also be set independently.

SOUND Page
FILTER
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific
frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a
certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to
produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.

▲▼
] FILTER Determines the degree to which the joystick modulates the Filter Cutoff
Frequency. For details about the filter, see below.
[3
▲▼
] AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the joystick modulates the amplitude
(volume).
[5
▲▼
] LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the joystick modulates the pitch, or the
vibrato effect.
[6
▲▼
] LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the joystick modulates the Filter modula-
tion, or the wah effect.
[7
▲▼
] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the joystick modulates the amplitude, or
the tremolo effect.

] BRIGHT.
(Brightness) Determines the cutoff frequency or
effective frequency range of the fil-
ter (see diagram). Higher values
result in a brighter sound.
[2
▲▼
] HARMO. (Har-
monic Content) Determines the emphasis given to
the cutoff frequency (resonance),
set in BRIGHT. above (see dia-
gram). Higher values result in a
more pronounced effect.
