012b: Ring Modulator

This is an eff ect that applies amplitude modulation (AM) to the input signal,

producing bell-like sounds. You can also change the modulation frequency in

response to changes in the volume of the sound sent into the eff ect.

012c: Slicer

By applying successive cuts to the sound, this eff ect turns a conventional sound into

a sound that appears to be played as a backing phrase. This is especially eff ective

when applied to sustain-type sounds.

note will cause the sequence
to resume from the fi rst step
of the sequence (ON) or not
(OFF)

note will be detected

7

Mode

0–1

Legato, Slash

Sets the manner in which the
volume changes as one step
progresses to the next.
Legato: The change in volume
from one step’s level to the
next remains unaltered. If the
level of a following step is the
same as the one preceding it,
there is no change in volume.
Slash: The level is momentarily
set to 0 before progressing to
the level of the next step. This
change in volume occurs even
if the level of the following
step is the same as the preced-
ing step.
