Mod Source Page 1 (Mod 1) & Page 4 (Mod 2)
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. Pages 1 and 4 let you select the Mod Source for Mod 1 and 2, respectively.
The options for the Mod Source are:
• Aftertouch • Mod Wheel • Pitch Wheel • MIDI Volume
• Sustain Pedal • Pedal 1 • Pedal 2 • Controllers A–D
Mod Destination Page 2 (Mod 1) & Page 5 (Mod 2)
The Mod Destination is the parameter that will be controlled by the selected Mod
Source. Pages 2 and 5 let you select the Mod Destination for Mod 1 and 2,
respectively. 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 • Overdrive Threshold
• Overdrive Bright • Overdrive Balance • Overdrive Level
• Lezlie Balance • Lezlie Level • Lezlie Speed
• Lezlie Motor
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 (“D1 Time,” “D2 Time,” “D3 Time,” and “D4 Time”). 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 Page 3 (Mod 1) & Page 6 (Mod 2)
The Mod Level is the amount that the Destination parameter will be affected by the
Mod Source. Pages 3 and 6 let you adjust the Level parameter by a positive or
negative amount. Example: 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).
