Chapter 3 Live Effector Basics 14 Distortion This popular effect lets you distort the sound - from a soft grunge to a full-on metallic assault. Turn the CONTROL knob to the right for more crunch and bite. 15 Auto Pan Get your sound moving in space! This effect shifts the sound in the stereo image back and forth between hard left and hard right. Setting the CONTROL knob toward max speeds up the panning so much, the sound seems to be modulated - like on a synthesizer! 16 Ring Modulation Here's an ultracool effect straight out of analog synthesizers! The Ring Modulator changes the sound dramatically by "overdriving" the oscillator - as set with the CONTROL knob. This effect completely destroys the original pitch of the sound and generates a whole new set of pitches and harmonics, for a massively dynamic metallic sound. Use the CONTROL knob to change the frequency of the oscillator. Use this sparingly! You'll want to save this awesome, powerful effect for certain climactic parts of your performance - and then blow people away! 17 Flanger This modulation-based effect produces a "swishing" or "tunneling" sound. Changing the speed of the modulation with the CONTROL knob produces a characteristic metallic, sweeping effect - much like a jet airplane taking off. 23

14
Distortion
This popular effect lets you distort the sound — from a soft grunge to a full-on
metallic assault.
Turn the CONTROL knob to the right for more crunch and
bite.
15
Auto Pan
Get your sound moving in space!
This effect shifts the sound in the stereo
image back and forth between hard left and hard right.
Setting the CONTROL
knob toward max speeds up the panning so much, the sound seems to be
modulated — like on a synthesizer!
16
Ring Modulation
Here’s an ultracool effect straight out of analog synthesizers!
The Ring Modu-
lator changes the sound dramatically by “overdriving” the oscillator — as set
with the CONTROL knob.
This effect completely destroys the original pitch of
the sound and generates a whole new set of pitches and harmonics, for a mas-
sively dynamic metallic sound.
Use the CONTROL knob to change the fre-
quency of the oscillator.
Use this sparingly!
You’ll want to save this awesome, powerful effect for cer-
tain climactic parts of your performance — and then blow people away!
17
Flanger
This modulation-based effect produces a “swishing” or “tunneling” sound.
Changing the speed of the modulation with the CONTROL knob produces a
characteristic metallic, sweeping effect — much like a jet airplane taking off.
