Ring Modulator and Upper/Lower Sideband Modes:
The FINE/DEPTH
knob works in conjunction with the COARSE knob to fine tune the
carrier/modulation frequency. First set the COARSE knob. Then use the FINE
knob to hone in on the exact tuning frequency for your sound.
Pitch Shift:
If pitch modulation is off (FILTER/RATE knob at full counter-
clockwise) the FINE/DEPTH knob works with the COARSE knob to set the
amount of pitch shift. The range is -1 semitone at counter-clockwise to +1
semitone at full clockwise. When using the internal modulation (when the
FILTER/RATE knob is above full CCW) the FINE/DEPTH knob controls the depth
of modulation. The depth increases as you turn the FINE/DEPTH knob
clockwise.
FILTER/RATE KNOB
The FILTER/RATE knob acts as a low pass filter in all three ring modulator modes and as a
modulation RATE control in Pitch Shift mode. The filter attenuates at 36dB per octave
above the cutoff frequency. The FILTER/RATE knob function in each mode is listed below:
Ring Modulator and Upper/Lower Sideband Modes:
The FILTER/RATE
knob controls a low pass filter on the effect in the ring modulator modes. The
filter is disabled at full clockwise. Turn FILTER/RATE counter-clockwise to cut
high frequencies, and eventually the entire wet signal. As you turn FILTER/RATE
clockwise, the effect gets brighter.
Pitch Shift:
The FILTER/RATE knob exclusively controls the modulation rate in
pitch shift mode. The modulation is turned off at counter-clockwise, and
increases up to 500 Hz at full clockwise.
Please note:
when the FILTER/RATE
knob is increased above zero (counter-clockwise) the FINE/DEPTH knob sets the
amount of modulation. If FINE/DEPTH is set at zero, you will not hear pitch
modulation.
WAVE KNOB
The WAVE knob changes the waveshape of the modulation signal working in two different
ways depending on the selected mode. In Ring Modulator and Pitch Shift modes, it
controls the shape of the modulation waveform with five different choices: Square, Sine,
Ramp up, Ramp Down, and Triangle.
Please note:
the WAVE knob will crossfade from
Square wave to Sine wave, then from Sine wave to Ramp Down. After Ramp Down, it
switches to Ramp Up and then to Triangle as you turn the knob clockwise. In Lower or
Upper Sideband mode the ring modulator is always a sine wave, and the WAVE knob can
