Core Effects Descriptions<br />
Auto-Wah<br />
This effect creates the sound of a guitar wah-wah pedal. The “Wah” filter sweep is<br />
automatically triggered from the amplitude envelope of the input sound. Auto-wah<br />
works well with percussive sounds such as guitar or bass.<br />
The Auto-Wah is a bandpass filter whose frequency can be swept up or down by an<br />
envelope follower, which extracts the volume contour of the input signal. The Envelope<br />
Sensitivity setting allows you to properly set up the envelope follower to receive a wide<br />
variety of input signals. This ‘envelope’, or volume contour, controls the frequency of<br />
the bandpass filter so that it sweeps up and down with each new note. The Attack<br />
controls the rate of the note-on sweep. As the input sound fades away, the filter sweeps<br />
back at a rate determined by the Release setting.<br />
The wah direction allows the filter to be swept either up or down in frequency. Use a<br />
higher Center Frequency setting when the wah direction is down.<br />
