Effect Type Reverb Hall
At initial selection, this voice produces a tight synth bass. But sliding CS1 upwards adds noisy distortion for a
darker, more violent sound.
FC1 and FC2 produce relatively mild effects when operated separately. But try moving them in unison to obtain
a harsh flanging effect. (If FC1 and FC2 are positioned for maximum flanging, the voice's lower ranges drop off.)
If you are using a sequencer, try recording the notes first, then mixing in the controller signals later.
