Chapter 14 Live Effector Power Tips 65 Ring Modulation As we pointed out in Tip 10, this effect is a powerful one, so you'll want to save it for huge, in-yourface intros, transitions and endings. Here's how you can use Ring Modulation to build to an enormous climax: First, set the controls - CONTROL to min and BALANCE to max. Then, hold the effect on (or lock it, as described in Tip 7), 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. q w Turn the knob VERY slowly! 66 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 64 for details on how the knob settings relate to bpm.) 67 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 64 for details on how the knob settings relate to bpm.) 68 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. 49
