Other Functions This section explains special functions such as varying a particular effect parameter in real time, using the hold delay and sampler functions, and returning the patches to the factory default condition. Pedal calibration is also explained. Changing effects in real time The GFX-$ allows you to vary a particular eff parameter in real time. For example, you could use the expression pedal as control source and the effect type P-WAH of the MOD module as control target Operating the pedal then will change the filter frequency, resulting in a pedal wah effect.

The newly developed ARRM feature lets you use an internally generated control waveform instead of the expression pedal. This makes it possible to easily create cyclic variations of an effect parameter. If yo «the control waveform {triangle wave) as control source and the effect type P-WAH of the MOD module as control target, you get a cyclic wah sound even without operating the pedal. Wah frequency Wah frequency [Re Control source: pedal Control source: ARRM You can go even further.
