POLY OCTAVE (Poly Octave)
This supports playing technique related to octaves.
POLY RING
(Poly Ring Modulator)
This enables you to mix the internal oscillator with the input sound
and apply a ring modulator independently for each string, creating a
sound with pitchless metallic reverberations.
POLY SG (Poly Slow Gear)
This creates a volume-swell (violin-like) effect independently for each
string.
STRING MODLNG
(String Modeling)
This converts the sound of a bass guitar strung with round-wound
strings to the sound of a bass with flat wound or black nylon strings.
COSM BASS settings other than E.BASS may not produce the expect-
ed results.
