• See separate “List Book”

Each of the variation types, selected via the “Type”
parameter, above, has a different set of parameters
that specify the actual variation effect sound. Refer
to the separate “List Book” for information on the
individual parameters for each variation type.

• Aftertouch Variation Control
• Settings: -64 … +63

This parameter only becomes available when the
“VarConnect” parameter (page 93) is set to “INS”
(i.e. when the variation stage is connected as an
insertion effect). Aftertouch variation control
allows one of the selected variation effect param-
eters to be controlled in real time via keyboard
aftertouch pressure. The parameter which can be
controlled is individually preset for each variation
effect type (see the separate “List Book”). The “AT
VarCtrl” parameter determines to what degree the
effect parameter is affected by aftertouch pressure.
For example, if the TREMOLO effect is selected
aftertouch controls the “LFO Frequency” param-
eter. In this case higher positive “AT VarCtrl”
values cause increased aftertouch pressure to
increase the LFO speed, while higher negative
values cause increased aftertouch pressure to
decrease the LFO speed. If this parameter is set to
“+00” aftertouch control has no effect.

• Assignable Controller 1 Variation Control

“VarConnect” parameter (page 93) is set to “INS”
