8.1.6 FX Direction & Inversion
The FX direction can be set to the following options:
• Forward
• Backward
• Odd/Even
• Even/Odd
• Left/Right
• Right/Left
• Segments
• Invert
• Invert Odd/Even
• Invert Even/Odd
• Invert Left/Right
• Invert Right/Left
• Invert Segments
Forward and Backward affect the direction of the FX. Odd/Even automatically makes the odd heads go
forward and the even heads go backwards. Left/Right splits the heads in two, with the first half going
forward and the second half going backwards. Segments alternates forward / backward for each segment.
Inverts change the polarity of the FX waveform rather than reversing the direction. For simple FX
Waveforms of 1 or 2 steps the resulting FX will be identical. For FX waveforms with more than 2 steps,
they will be different.
