MODULATION EFFECTS (EXCEPT CHORUS)
11 Phaser
M-Val 1° Manual 100Hz~8.0kHz
M-Val 2 Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
A phaser adds a phase-shifted sound to the original sound, produc-
ing a twisting modulation that creates spaciousness and depth.
12 Auto Wah
M-Val 1° Manual 0~127
M-Val 2 Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
The Auto Wah cyclically controls a lter to create cyclic change in
timbre.
13 Rotary

The Rotary effect simulates the sound of a classic rotary speaker. The
unique type of modulation characteristic of these speakers is of a
striking realism. This effect is most suitable for electric organ.
14 StFlangr
M-Val 1° Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Feedback -98% ~+98%
This is a stereo Flanger. It produces a metallic resonance that rises
and falls like a jet airplane taking off or landing.
15 SpFlangr
M-Val 1 Feedback -98% ~+98%
M-Val 2° Step Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
A Step Flanger is an effect in which the Flanger pitch changes in
audible steps.
16 Tremolo1 (Tri)
(Triangular wave)
M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
Tremolo cyclically modulates the volume to add tremolo effect to the
sound.
17 Tremolo2 (Sqr)
