Phaser
Tweak the knob until you hit the “sweet spot” — the point at which the Phaser’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.)
56
Slice
The different rhythm feels that Slice creates depends on the Pattern you’ve selected as well as the
CONTROL knob setting.
Experimentation is the key!
Try different Patterns and see how they
morph when you change the CONTROL knob setting.
Move the knob slowly, and find your favorite
settings.
57
Delay
Clever use of Delay is a cornerstone in many different styles of dance music — especially dub.
For
a dub flavor, set the BALANCE knob to around 2 or 3 o'clock, and turn on the effect only for certain
beats.
Play around with this — experiment and try to hit the “sweet spot,” the point where the
Delay locks into the groove and gives you the feel you want!
◆
CONTROL knob position and Delay time
The knob position determines the rhythmic division (in note values) of the Delay — automatically
synchronizing the Delay to the bpm.
