ENVELOPE

AUTO WAH

A filter that follows how hard you play

What it does

A filter that follows how hard you play: an envelope-following wah with SENS for how far it opens, BASE for where it starts, RES for how vocal it is, and MIX. The auto-wah clav, the funk bass, the talking lead.

  • RES 0.6 is the classic quack; 0.9 whistles
  • On a drum channel it follows the kick and opens on every hit
ON THE TOUCH PAD

As WAH: X is BASE, Y is RES. Touch to engage, lift to let go, HOLD to keep it.

Where it goes

PADSINSTRUMENTSCHANNELSBUSESMASTER

Four to a socket, in order: sound runs through the slots top to bottom. Open the box and every knob is in real units; BYPASS takes it out of the path without losing its settings; the presets are along the top; any knob learns a controller and gets an automation lane.

7 IN THE BANK

Every box ships with a bank. AS SET is the knobs as you left them; the rest are starting points, each a sound someone wanted often enough to name. Star one and it sits at the front of the bank.

The console line

Every box is also a line of the console's language, so a pad or a patch can carry its effects in text. The words are the knobs:

fx wah sens=0.6 base=300 res=0.6 mix=1
