Mod Wheel
Mod wheel
This section of the panel provides all the controls required to route the mod wheel to various
destinations. They are:
FX
Using these four controls, you can use the modulation wheel to gradually introduce each of the
effects during a performance.
DELAY
Sets how much the modulation wheel will introduce the delay effect.
REVERB
Sets how much the modulation wheel will introduce the reverb effect.
CHORUS
Sets how much the modulation wheel will introduce the chorus effect.
DISTORTION
Sets how much the modulation wheel will introduce the distortion effect.
All the above controls are ‘bi-polar’ - that is, they can have a positive and a negative setting.
With values of 0 to +63, pushing the mod wheel forward will add more of the chosen effect.
With values of 0 to -64, the effect will be on by default and pushing the mod wheel forward will
cause the chosen effect to fade out.

PITCH
It may be desirable to drastically change the pitch of all the oscillators using the
modulation wheel. This setting is used to shift the absolute pitch of the all the
oscillators up or down in response to the modulation wheel position. Values 1
to 63 will result in a higher pitch from 1 to 63 semitones when the wheel is
pushed forward. Values -1 to -64 will result in a lower pitch when the wheel is
pushed forward.
PITCH MOD
Allows you to use the modulation wheel to control the amount of pitch
modulation from LFO1, introducing a vibrato effect. As the mod wheel is
pushed forwards, LFO 1 modulation (i.e. vibrato) will be applied. For best
results, ensure that LFO 1 is using a Triangle waveform and its SPEED is set to
a value of around 75. This will give a smooth, traditional vibrato effect.
FILTER
FREQ
Sets the amount that the modulation wheel will control the filter’s cutoff
frequency. With values of 0 to +63, pushing the mod wheel forward will cause
the cutoff frequency to rise (i.e. it will ‘open’ the filter). With values of 0 to -64,
pushing the mod wheel forward will cause the filter to close.
FREQ MOD
Allows you to use the modulation wheel to control the amount of filter cutoff
frequency modulation from LFO2. In this, you can use the mod wheel to
introduce filter sweeps.
