Auto Pan
Tweak the knob until you hit the “sweet spot” — the point at which auto panning syncs up to the
bpm and gives you the rhythmic effect you want.
◆
Tech tip:
The knob positions and the corresponding bpm readings shown here are approximate — let your
ears be the final judge!
53
Ring Modulation
As we pointed out in Tip 16, this effect is a powerful one, so you’ll want to save it for huge, in-your-
face intros, transitions and endings.
Here’s how you can use Ring Modulation to build to an enor-
mous climax:
First, set the controls — CONTROL to min and BALANCE to max.
Then, hold the effect on (or lock
it, as described in Tip 13), and simultaneously move the CONTROL knob toward max — very
slowly.
Use the effect to build to a fever pitch, then — right at the climactic moment, just before the
“one” — turn the effect off and switch to a new Pattern or Variation.
54
Flanger
Tweak the knob until you hit the “sweet spot” — the point at which the Flanger’s modulation cycle
syncs up to the bpm and gives you the rhythmic effect you want.
(See the illustration in Tip 52 for
details on how the knob settings relate to bpm.)
