EQ MODULATION
Pressing EQ MODULATION (F16 in the EQ page) shows this screen:
The LOW MID and HIGH MID bandpass filters of the EQ are able to be modulated by their own
independent LFOs. The LMID and HMID LFO RATE parameters set the speed of these LFOs and
the LMID and HMID MOD DEPTH parameters set the amount of LFO modulation. In this page,
because there is a certain degree of interaction between the modulation and the LMID and HMID
frequency and gain settings, the LMID EQ controls are duplicated here for convenience to save
you swapping between pages
Many effects are possible using the modulation functions. Effects from ‘wah- wah’ clavinet and
guitar may be created by sweeping just one band (either will do) and more extreme filter sweep
effects can be created by sweeping both. High Q settings on the selected mid band (i.e. a tighter
‘bell’) accentuates the effect and with very high Q settings, very pronounced synth filter sweep
effects can be achieved.
The fact that both LMID and HMID bands can be independently controlled by their own LFOs
running at different rates further expands the possibilities.
The phase shifter option in the MOD section can also be enhanced by sweeping one (or both) of
the bandpass frequencies with narrow width settings at exactly the same rate as the phase shifter’s
LFO.
You could also experiment with setting the AUTOPAN selection in the MOD section to the same
rates so that EQ/filter sweeps pan in synchronisation with each other.
Pressing EQ PARAMETERS will return you to the EQ page.
Pressing MAIN will take you back to the main FX page.
Pressing F7 will return you to the selected multiFX page.
In either page, the ACTIVE switch on F10 allows you to bypass the EQ effect.
