Using ESS to control a parameter
SS (Expression Step Sequencer) controls a variety of effect parameters 
in a stepwise fashion, letting you control your sound in completely new 
ways. For example, you can use the step sequencer to control the SPEED 
parameter of a modulation effect to create complex modulation that would not 
have been possible until now. You can control the MANUAL parameter of the VOX 
WAH or FILTRON effects to produce stepped-wah sounds, or control the PITCH of 
the PITCH SHIFTER effect to create arpeggio-like effects.
The AX3000B’s ESS function operates between the expression pedal and the tar-
get parameter you specify. When you activate ESS, the sequencer will control the 
target parameter that you specified for the expression pedal, and the expression 
pedal will control the ESS.
ESS 
PARAMETERS
[1] “SPEED”
PEdL, 0.5–100
Adjusts the speed of the sequencer. Higher values 
produce faster speeds. If you select PEdL, you’ll 
be able to use the pedal position to switch steps.
[2] “SMOOTH”
0.0–10.0
Specifies the smoothness of the steps. Lower val-
ues will cause the parameter to change abruptly, 
and higher values will make the parameter change 
smoothly.
[3] “STEPMODE” 2-F, 3-F,,,2-A,,,2-A.,,,2-r,,,2-F1,,,2-A1,,,2-A.1,,,8-A.1
(LAST STEP-MODE)
Indicates the number of steps and what will hap-
pen after the last step.
“*-#(1)” The display indicates *: LAST STEP number, #: Mode, 1: 1-shot.
<Examples>
4-F (4 step forward)
Repeatedly advance from step 1 to step 4 . 
(12341234 ... etc.)
4-A (4 step alternate)
Repeatedly advance from step 1 to step 4 and 
then back to step 1. (1234321234321 ... etc.)
4-A. (4 step alternate 2)
Repeatedly advance from step 1 to step 4 and 
then back to step 1. (123443211234 ... etc.)
4-r (4 step random)
Randomly select a step 1 through 4. 
(241324122 ... etc.)
4-F1 (4 step forward,1-shot) Advance from step 1 to step 4, and then stop. 
(1234)
4-A1 (4 step alternate, 
1-shot)
Advance from step 1 to step 4, then back to step 1 
and stop. (1234321)
