Sweeping Mode
The Sweeping Mode parameter (Parameter mode, Page 3) determines whether the
Flanger effect will occur only once, or continuously.
¥ When set to ONE CYCLE ONLY, the Flanger effect (when triggered) will cycle
once, and then stop until it is triggered again.
¥ When set to CONTINUOUS, the Flanger effect (when triggered) will cycle
continuously, until it is triggered again (at which point the cycle begins again
at the Retrigger Point of the cycle).
Trigger Source
The Trigger Source parameter (Parameter mode, Page 4) determines what will
trigger the Flanger effect. This can be set to: Audio Left, Audio Right, Audio L & R,
Advance Footswitch or Bypass Footswitch.
¥ When set to AUDIO LEFT, AUDIO RIGHT or AUDIO L & R, the Flanger effect
will be triggered whenever an audio level greater than -12 dB is sensed at the
selected input(s).
¥ When set to either ADVANCE FOOTSWITCH or BYPASS FOOTSWITCH,
the selected footswitch will not perform its normal function (that of advancing
to the next Program or bypassing effects, respectively). Instead, the Flanger
effect will be triggered when the selected footswitch is pressed.
