Effect Type Reverb Hall
Highly unusual voice, with distinctive balance between low-range noise and pitched sound.
FC1 controls the balance.
FC2 and CS2 both control resonance, but their effects are slightly different.
Operation of MW2 has little effect until you raise CS1. When CS1 is raised, MW2 will produce violent ringing
modulation.
Performance
Hints Skillful handling of velocity and controllers will allow you to produce extremely interesting low-range percussive
sequences. If you are using a sequencer, try recording the notes first, then mixing in the controller signals
in real time.
Note that this voice's pitch quality begins to degrade as you move into the higher ranges.
