Effect Type Stereo Echo
At initial selection, this voice produces the sound of a distortion guitar lead. Use the pitch wheel to get a choking
or tremolo arm effect: moving the wheel all the way raises pitch only two steps, while moving it all the way down
drops the pitch by one octave.
Moving MW2 below middle position produces the sound of scraping guitar strings, with various harmonics.
But if you move MW2 all the way down, only the attack component will remain.
Performance Try working with aftertouch and the FC1 wow effect to achieve some strange, drastic sounds.
Hints
This voice is initially set for monophonic, but feel free to reset it for polyphonic.
