23. ECHO: ECHO (34) is when the original signal is delayed when being

input and then fed back into the signal creating the Echo effect. The length of the echo increases or decrease when increasing or decreaseing the parameter setting.

24. PAN: PAN (35) simply pans the sound from the left and to the right. It

will speed up or slow down as you increase or decrease the parameter setting.

25. TRANSFORM: TRANSFORM (37) simply cuts the sound from the left

and right stereo levels. It will speed up or slow down as you increase or decrease the parameter setting.

26. ZOOM: Mixing the signal with a slightly delayed copy of itself, where

the length of the delay is constantly changed, creates zooming. This resembles the sound of a plane taking off and landing. The depth of the ZOOM (33) will increase or decrease with the parameter increase or decrease.

27. BRAKE: The BRAKE (38) button simulates the sound of a record

stopping/starting on a turntable. The larger or smaller the parameter the longer or shorter it takes for the record to stop.

28. FILTER: The FILTER (32) goes through three passes during parameter adjustment:

- Low Pass filters out the other frequencies except the low frequency. With a lower parameter you will hear it more. - High Pass filters out the other frequencies except the high frequency.
