[. . . ] * When using the Hold function, be aware of the importance of the order in which the effects are connected. When the noise suppressor is connected after FX-2, held synth sounds are not output when the bass input sound is stopped. In such cases, be sure to place FX-2 ahead of the noise suppressor (p. 22). Bend (with Square, Saw) You can use the expression pedal to control the frequency of sounds from the internal sound generator. Use this by setting the parameter to "On" and assigning the expression pedal or similar controller to Pdl Position. Pitch Min (with Square, Saw) Sets the pitch produced when the expression pedal is released. Attack Trig (Attack Trigger) (with Brass and Bow) This setting determines whether the filter acts according to the envelope of the input sound or mechanically by detecting the vibration of the strings as they are played. When set to OFF, the filter operates in response to the volume of the input bass sound, like a touch wah; when set to ON, the filter operates more mechanically, as with the Internal Sound Generator method, by detecting the degree of attack. Pitch Max (with Square, Saw) Sets the pitch produced when the expression pedal is fully depressed. Pdl Position (pedal position) (with Square, Saw) Adjusts the Pedal Bend pedal position. 43 Chapter 4 The Effects Explained NS: Noise Suppressor This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by the bass. Use this when noise that occurs when you are not playing the bass becomes noticeable. Since it suppresses the noise by monitoring the volume level of the actual bass sound being input, it always gives a natural effect.
