Distortion/Ring Modulator
Distortion simulates the distorted sound produced by overloading an entry signal.
Ring modulator is an effect that changes the character of the sound by using the internal oscillator.
This produces a metallic sound with no scale.

filter. The frequency of each band is variable and can overlap each other. The scale of the middle
pitch filter can be changed to produce an auto-wah effect.
