REMOLO
Tremolo modulation is basically an automatic volume control that continuously varies the output signal
volume. Tremolo is a commonly used modulation, especially on the Wurlitzer electric pianos.
Use the R
ATE
and A
MOUNT
knobs to control the Tremolo rate and depth. Note that the output volume
is at maximum level at zero A
MOUNT
setting.

The Wah-Wah modulation is often used for electric guitars to get that characteristic “talking guitar”
sound. Wah-Wah can also be extremely useful on electric piano sounds. Try out the Clavinet sound with
Wah-Wah modulation and you’ll understand. Basically, the Wah-Wah modulation is a lowpass type of
filter that can be swept across the frequency range. During the sweep, the filter’s characteristics also chang-
es.
For the Wah-Wah1 modulation you control the “pedal position” with the R
ATE
knob and the total fre-
quency sweep range with the A
MOUNT
knob. For the Wah-Wah2 modulation you control the LFO rate
with the R
ATE
knob and the total frequency sweep range with the A
MOUNT
knob.
Note: If you use an expression pedal connected to the C

you can control
the filter sweep and thus the Wah-Wah1 effect from the pedal. Also note that if you’re already
using an expression pedal for Organ Swell control (see “Swell control (from expression pedal)”
on page 23), the Wah-Wah function takes precedence and automatically disables the Swell con-
trol.

Auto-Wah is a variation of the Wah-Wah modulation described above. The difference is that here you con-
trol the filter sweep range, and thus the Wah-Wah effect, from the signal’s amplitude envelope. For the
Auto-Wah modulation you control the attack time with the R
ATE
knob and the sensitivity with the
A
MOUNT
knob.
