EFX PARAMETER JOG WHEEL

With the FILTER the EFX PARAMETER JOG WHEEL controls how
much the filter will cut, for example if you spin the JOG WHEEL all
the way to the left the filter will cut off all the HIGH frequencies
leaving only the LOW'S, and if you spin it all the way to the right, the
filter will cut off all the LOW'S leaving just the HIGH end frequencies.
FLANGER
With the FLANGER the EFX PARAMETER WHEEL controls how
deep the flanger will sound. Turn the wheel either way just a little
and the FLANGER is barely audible, the more you turn the wheel in
either direction, the FLANGER will get deeper sounding and give
you the tunnel or jet plane sound effect.
TRANS
Or TRANSFORMER effect will turn the volume of the track off and
on fast or slow depending where the EFX PARAMETER WHEEL is,
giving you a TRANSFORMER sounding effect. Turn the wheel in
either direction just a little and the effect will cut the music volume up
and down slowly, keep turning the wheel in either direction and the
effect will cut the music volume up and down quickly, you can then
adjust the speed of the transfom effect to match the tempo of your
music.
