Chapter 13 Live Effector Power Tips 51 Distortion This little trick can kick your tracks into high gear! Use the Distortion effect selectively, applying it only to certain beats in the Pattern, places you want to add an accent - such as on the 2nd or 3rd beat of the bar. This gives you a massive, in-your-face sound - right on that all-important backbeat - and takes the rhythm to a new level! In a Variation on this technique, bring in the Distortion repeatedly and rhythmically. This punches new accents into the Pattern, and - with the right treatment - creates a completely new Pattern! This technique works extremely well with some of the other effects, such as Ring Mod, Flanger, and Phaser. Naturally, you can record your playing to the Performance Recorder (page 56) and use the new Pattern as a Variation - in real time, without having to re-execute the complicated moves!

Distortion
This little trick can kick your tracks into high gear!
Use the Distortion effect selectively, applying it
only to certain beats in the Pattern, places you want to add an accent — such as on the 2nd or 3rd
beat of the bar.
This gives you a massive, in-your-face sound — right on that all-important back-
beat — and takes the rhythm to a new level!
In a Variation on this technique, bring in the Distortion repeatedly and rhythmically.
This punches
new accents into the Pattern, and — with the right treatment — creates a completely new Pattern!
This technique works extremely well with some of the other effects, such as Ring Mod, Flanger, and
Phaser.
Naturally, you can record your playing to the Performance Recorder (page 56) and use the
new Pattern as a Variation — in real time, without having to re-execute the complicated moves!
