envelope control similarly varies the controllable parameters between their hi and lo values in

response to changes of the input signal level. You can adjust how sensitive this response is by using

the SEn (sensitivity) parameter.

Metering

The real-time meters on the Voluum are clear and simple. You will find the meters invaluable when

setting up the gate and compressor effects, as well as letting you see what’s going on when the

effects are active.

When using the Voluum as a volume pedal effect, the volume meter can be used as a visual

indication of the position of the pedal (i.e., the current volume) before enabling the effect.

Top Tip: If CtL is set to one of the coarse (

MSB

) 14-bit

MIDI

controllers (controller # 0–31),

the Voluum can be controlled using the full 14-bits of the controller to ensure

the smoothest response. (Of course, you need to ensure the fine (

LSB

) part of

the

MIDI

controller (controller # 32–63) is also being sent to the Voluum for this

to work.)

Top Tip: If you often switch between instruments with different output levels, rather than

change the SEn effect parameter (which is stored presets), use the custom SEn

parameter to adjust the global sensitivity of your Voluum (see page 33).

noise gate — lights to show when the

gate is closing. The brighter the

LED

the more the gate has closed.

volume — shows the real-time effect volume scaled to the

currently set hi and lo values. This monitors both the volume

effect and the

LFO

effect (when these effects are active).

compressor — shows the amount of gain reduction being

applied (see scale in dB above).

You can think of this as the amount of signal compression: the

LED

s lit, the higher the compression.
