Mod Source

The Mod Source parameter selects the MIDI controller which will remotely cause a
change (modulate) in one or two of the parameters in the effects processor. Nearly
every MIDI controller can become a Mod Source (using controllers A-D, set in Global
mode, page 3), with the most common controllers appearing as a direct option in the
display. Quad Knob [1] selects the Mod Source. The options for the Mod Source are:

After Touch

Mod Wheel

Pitch Wheel

MIDI Volume

Sustain Pedal

Pedal 1 and Pedal 2

Controller AÑD

Mod Destination

The Mod Destination is the parameter that will be controlled by the selected Mod
Source. Quad Knob [2] selects the Mod Destination. The possible Destination
parameters are:

Pitch Speed

Pitch Depth

Pitch level

Pitch Balance

Delay Time

Delay Feedback

Delay Level

Reverb Balance

Reverb Input

Reverb Decay

Reverb Low Decay

Reverb High Decay

Reverb Diffusion

Reverb Level

If the selected Configuration has a particular effect on more than one effect send (for
example, Config. #1 has a delay on each send), then some Mod Destination
parameters will be listed more than once. For example, the Delay Time parameter
will appear four times (ÒD1 Time,Ó ÒD2 Time,Ó ÒD3 Time,Ó and ÒD4 TimeÓ). In the
case of Pitch, where you can choose from various pitch effects, different parameters
are available depending on the effect chosen. However, the Mod Destinations retain
their names. Example: If the Resonator is the Pitch effect, the Pitch Speed Modulation
Destination controls the first parameter in the Resonator (Tuning).

Mod Level

The Mod level is the amount that the Destination parameter will be affected by the
Mod Source. Use Quad Knob [3] to affect the Destination parameter by a positive or
negative amount. In other words, if the Reverb Decay was selected as the Destination
with the mod wheel as the Source, the mod wheel could be programmed to cause the
Reverb to increase the decay (positive) or decrease the decay (negative).

Name

The function allows you to change the name of the you are editing. Use the PAGE
