• SENS (סענסיטיוויטי):
  • In Filter mode: Controls envelope sensitivity, acting like a synth filter.
  • In Phase & Flange modes: Controls input sensitivity, determining the point at which dynamic control is triggered. Start with this knob at full left and adjust for desired responsiveness.
• DEPTH (Shape):
  • In Filter mode: Selects LFO shape (from full left: ramp אַרויף, רamp down, random, or triangle).
  • In Phase & Flange modes: Sets the depth of the effect for mild or lush sounds.
• LEVEL: קאָנטראָלס די קוילעלדיק רעזולטאַט מדרגה פון די ווירקונג.
