023: St. Phaser ( Parameter Guide, Page 180), etc.
(3) Since we loaded the Phaser into IFX 1, go to that tab (7.2-2) so that
you can edit it. It helps to set the “Resonance” parameter to something
extreme, to hear the effects of our editing easier, such as -90. You will
see the Parameter “Freq” (Frequency), set to a default value of .70 Hz.
Next to this is a field for AMS. This can be assigned to one of many “AMS
Alternate Modulation Sources.” Currently, it is OFF.
(4) Assign this to KnobM4#21 (Knob Mod4: CC#21). Then, to the right of
this field, is an amount that the AMS will vary it. Currently, it is set to a
default of 0, so nothing will happen. Crank this up to maximum for now
(+20.00); you can experiment later. Basically, this is an amount to add
or subtract from the initial setting (.70 Hz) when you turn the knob.
(5) Go to Knob 4 (above the JS, not the KARMA Knobs). Make sure the
LED is in the “B” position (assignable), and twist the knob - you have
control of the LFO speed at this point. Congratulations.
---- Method [B] Manually sweep the phaser/flanger via MIDI, using, for
example, KARMA control knob 01.
(1) Select an Initialized Program, such as D000. Go to (7.1-1a) [Menu] -
[BUS] - [Bus] - Bus Select. Set this to “IFX1”, since we will route the
Program through Insert Effect 1.
(2) Select an Insert Effect. (7.2-1a) [Menu] - [IFX] - [Setup]. Cursor to
IFX 1, and type “025-Enter”, to set it to St. Env. Phaser. Cursor to the
On/Off field to the left of this and set it to “On”. At this point, you
should be able to hear the Phaser.
Note: for this example, you can use any effect that has “Envelope” control
- this is what allows you to manually sweep it. There are not as many of
these - here are two that I can think of quickly:
022: St. Env. Flanger ( Parameter Guide, Page 180)
025: St. Env. Phaser ( Parameter Guide, Page 181)
(3) Since we loaded the Phaser into IFX 1, go to that tab (7.2-2) so that
you can edit it. It helps to set the “Resonance” parameter to something
extreme, to hear it easier, such as -90. In this case, there is a parameter
called “Sweep Mode”, which is set by default to “EG”, with a “Src” (AMS
Source) setting of “Gate 2”. With this setting, you play the keyboard, and
it creates an envelope based on your playing, to sweep the effect.
