Sweep FX
Sweep FX allows you to apply one of four effects to the four channels and "sweep" them using the Sweep
FX knobs. You can apply only one sweep effect at a time.
To activate a sweep effect, tap one of the Sweep FX buttons: Dub Echo, Noise, Wash Out, or Gate. The
button will light up when activated. Only one of these buttons can be enabled at a time.
To deactivate a sweep effect, tap the lit Sweep FX button. Alternatively, press a different Sweep FX button
to activate it, which will deactivate the other.
For all sweep effects, the center ("12:00") position of the Sweep FX knob bypasses the effect. Turning the
Sweep FX knob clockwise or counter-clockwise from this position applies the effect, and can produce
different results in each direction depending on the type of effect. The available sweep effects and their
functions are as follows:
•
Dub Echo: This effect adds a brief echo. Turn a Sweep FX knob counter-clockwise to decrease the
length of the delay and increase the feedback, or turn it clockwise to increase the length of the delay
as well as the feedback.
•
Noise: This effect adds noise to the signal. Turn a Sweep FX knob counter-clockwise to add white
noise with a time-based gate effect synchronized with the channel's tempo, or turn it clockwise to add
white noise.
•
Wash Out: This creates a transition effect. Turn a Sweep FX knob to its most counter-clockwise
(minimum) position to apply a 1/2-beat echo that will also mute the channel's normal audio signal, or
turn it to its most clockwise (maximum) position to apply a 1-beat echo.
•
Gate: This effect applies a time-based gate effect to the signal. Turn a Sweep FX knob counter-
clockwise to apply a gate effect synchronized with the channel's tempo, or turn it clockwise to apply a
gate effect that attenuates the signal. The farther clockwise the knob is turned, the greater the
attenuation.
