2. UNDERSTANDING THE PRODUCT
" Auto-Pan:
Changes the tremolo effect, (mono sounding) to an auto-pan effect to produce a wide
stereo effect. Auto-pan is selected when the LED around the Auto-Pan switch is lit. All other tremolo
controls work in the same way except the effect alternates in the left and right channels.
" Speed:
Controls the rate of the tremolo waveform. When Sync is engaged, speed controls how
many times the tremolo will sweep every beat.
" Waveform: Selects from seven tremolo waveform types:
• Sine Wave - excellent waveform for auto-pan effects
• Triangle - More of a tremolo effect
• Ramp Down - Very Rhythmic
• Ramp-Up - useful for creating stutter effects
• Square 50% - best sounding at higher speeds
• Square 25% - Gives a chopping sound
• Square 12% - Dices up the music
" Sync: Toggles between tempo-synchronized speed control and normal speed control. Note: The
Tremolo will resync every time this feature is engaged and you can use this to your advantage. Try
hitting sync on an off beat (1+2+3+4+) with a 2:1 division and the square wave selected. The
tremolo will now sync to the offbeats. (See Time Synchronization Features pg.8)
" Band: Selects between 7 combinations of frequency bands the tremolo will effect. The combinations
are represented by 3 LED for High, Mid, and Low. The combinations are: All bands, High, Mid, Low,
Low+High, Low+Mid, High+Mid. Note: Every time the Band button is pressed MO-FX will cycle to the
next combination. However, at any point in the cycle the Band button can be held down for 500ms
and it will return directly to All bands.

MO-FX’s digital Delay can produce some wild sounds. Unlike most digital delays, it emulates the pitch
shifting effect of analog delay but with the added fidelity of its digital signal path. By turning the
regeneration control all the way up, you can use the Delay section as a simple sampler.
" Engage:
Toggles the delay effect in and out.
" Momentary:
Temporarily engages the delay effect. This is useful for creating short burst of delay
for rhythmic accents. The momentary essentially reverses the state of the engage switch. When an
effect is engaged, the momentary will dis-engage it. When an effect is not engaged the momentary
will engage it.
" Mix:
Sets the Wet / Dry mix of the Delay Block. MO-FX Mix controls feature a additional 9dB of Boost
in the last 25% of the control range. This can help make the effect “stand out” in the mix. The Mix
control gets the dry signal from the band select feature. That means that when the Mix is set to zero,
and the block is engaged, you will hear only the bands you have selected with the band select.
" Regen:
Controls the amount of delay signal that is regenerated or recycled back into the delay
input and repeated. Extreme Regen settings will configure the delay for infinite looping. This is
where the MO-FX delay gets crazy. To stop the looping turn the regeneration control completely
to the left. This will clear the delay.
" P-Pong: Toggles the delay block from being a regular delay (when the LED around the button
is not lit) to a Ping-Pong delay (when the LED around the button is lit). The Ping-Pong delay has
different delay times for the left and right channel. The right channel’s delay time is half of the left
channel. This creates a delay sound that alternates right to left.
" Speed: Sets the length of the delay time from 2600 ms to 1ms. When Sync is engaged the speed
control sets the number of delays per beat. For example 4:1 indicates a delay 4 times per beat,
and 1:2 indicates delay times equivalent to every two beats.
Note: This control works in the opposite direction of typical delays. The delay time becomes
shorter as the knob is turned to the right. This enables the delay to sound progressively faster as
the knob is turned to the right as in the other effect blocks.
" Sync:
Toggles between tempo synchronized speed control and normal speed control. (See Time
Synchronization Features pg.8)
" Band: Selects between 7 combinations of frequency bands the delay will effect. The
combinations are represented by 3 LED for High, Mid, and Low. The combinations are: All bands,
High, Mid, Low, Low+High, Low+Mid, High+Mid. Note: Every time the Band button is pressed
MO-FX will cycle to the next combination. However, at any point in the cycle the Band button can
be held down for 500ms and it will return directly to All bands.

" Tap Tempo/Sync:
The Tap Tempo Button, when used in conjunction with the effect block sync
buttons, will synchronize the rate of each block’s effect to the beat of the music. Tapping the
button twice (or more) to the beat will establish the tempo of the song. Tapping 3 or more times
can give a more accurate tempo as an average tempo is created from all the taps.
The tempo is displayed by flashing the LED around the Tap Tempo button on the
beat. The LED will also flash to the beat when MIDI clock is present. Note: If taps
are more than 2 seconds apart the Tap Tempo will start calculating a new tempo.
If you are having difficulty establishing a new tempo, wait for two seconds then
tap a new tempo. This will clear the Tap Tempo averaging buffer, and the Tap
Tempo LEDs will flash in time with the new tempo.
" Sync Button:
The flange, tremolo and delay blocks each have a sync control. When the LED
around a SYNC switch is lit, that effect block’s speed control is synchronized to tempo (either Tap
Tempo or MIDI clock). When the LED around the SYNC switch is off, the speed of the effect block
is set from the speed control. When sync is on, the speed is set from two values:
1. Tempo (Tap or MIDI clock)
2. Setting of the division (using the speed control)
