CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 357
The three Sym options apply symmetrical distortion, which means that the saturation be-
havior is the same for positive and negative values. The Asym modes result in asymmetrical
saturation. For both mode types, higher numbers result in more distortion. Drive can be
switched off entirely by selecting Off in the chooser. Experiment with the various options to
get a sense of how they affect incoming signals.
23.1.5 Ampliers
Display and Shell
Parameters for the two
Ampliers.
After the lters, the signal is routed to an amplier which further shapes the sound with
an amplitude envelope and panning. All parameters can be set independently for each
amplier.
The Amp 1 and Amp 2 switches in the shell toggle the respective amplier on and off, while
the output level is controlled by the Level knob. The Pan knob sets the position of the
amplier's output in the stereo eld.
In addition to the envelope controls, the displays for the ampliers contain various modula-
tion parameters. The Pan and Level amounts can be independently modulated by LFO, note
pitch and amp envelope via the sliders in the Pan Mod and Level Mod sections respectively.
Note that, when using note pitch as the modulation source for Level, middle C will always
sound the same regardless of the modulation amount. Positive values will cause the level
to increase for higher notes.
