M.207 Effects 4.2 M.207 Effects In this section of the manual, we will show you how to use the main M.207 effects – from the Auto Filter to the Transform effect. Let’s get ready to tweak! 4.2.1 The FXg lide™ Area This is the main control for the effects in the M.207 and it is separated into 3 components – the Slider Strip (A), the Button Strip (B), and the LED Strip (C). (Figure 4.2) Figure 4.2 4.2.1.1 The Slider Strip The Slider Strip (A) is like a virtual fader that moves up and down with your fing

Effects 4.3 Effects There can be 2 effects per button. One effect is located at the top and the other at the bottom of the button. For example, A.Filter/M.Filter, Phaser/Flanger, etc. Pressing the button once triggers the top effect (the button lights up solid). (Figure 4.3) Figure 4.3 Pressing and holding the button engages the bottom effect (the button will blink to indicate that the lower effect is engaged). (Figure 4.4) Figure 4.4 To send an effect to a channel, the CHANNEL FX button must be pres

Automatic and Manual Filter 4.3.1 Automatic and Manual Filter (A.FILTER/M.FILTER) A.Filter (Figure 4.7) Auto Filter is a sweeping filter that moves based on the BPM. The FXGlide™ Button Strip gives you 5 different sweep lengths, from 16 beats (16/1) to 1 beat (1/1). Pressing WET/DRY will give you control over the ratio of effect audio to “normal” audio. This is good if you want to make the effect a little more subtle. Pressing the PARAM button will give you control over the amount of resonance in

Phaser/Flanger 4.3.2 Phaser/Flanger (PHASER/FLANg E) Phaser (Figure 4.9) The Phaser is a sweeping notch filter that moves in time with the BPM. You are able to select the Sweep lengths (from 16 beats to 1 beat) via the FXGlide™ buttons. The PARAM button adds resonance to the filter, and the WET/DRY button controls the amount of effect mix. Figure 4.9 Flange (Figure 4.10) The Flanger gets its sound by doubling the audio and delaying one copy slightly. You can also hear this effect manually by playin

Pan/Transform 4.3.4 Pan/Transform (PAN/TRANS) Pan (Figure 4.13) The Pan effect sweeps the audio left and right to the beat of the music. The sweep interval is determined by the value selected on the FXGlide™ Button Strip, ranging from 16 beats to 1 beat in length. The PARAM value controls the shape of the sweep. A high value produces a very sharp square wave, and a low value creates a Figure 4.13 smooth sounding sine wave. WET/DRY controls how much of the audio is processed by the Pan effect. At

Frequency Filters 4.3.6 Frequency Filters The M.207 has 3 frequency filters at the top of the effect area. (Figure 4.16) They can act as effects themselves, offering “reverse EQ kill” functionality, or they can be used to limit the frequency ranges being sent to an effect. Let’s go over each case separately. Figure 4.16 4.3.6.1 Filters as Effects When you press one of the Frequency Filters, you will only hear the corresponding frequency range. Therefore, if you press the MID filter, the audio will chan

Filtering the Effects Sends 4.3.6.2 Filtering the Effect Sends These buttons are also able to filter the frequencies being sent to a selected effect. For example, this could be used to add shimmer to the high end by running it through the flange or to send just the midrange to the echo effect to accentuate a vocal. Several cool effects can be achieved by using the frequency filters along with effects. The process goes like this… 1. Select the effect you want to use. (Figure 4.17) You can use the FX Cue fu

FXg lide™ Slider Automation 4.4 FXg lide™ Slider Automation Many of the effects on the M.207 are beat synchronized. In most cases, the effect is modulated using a smooth sine wave. However, you are able to manually input a modulation pattern of your own. Automation time can either be BPM based, or manually done. Let’s explore the automation process more closely. 4.4.1 Manual Automation Recording To manually record an automation sequence, press the MAN/AUT button so the M.207 Record mode is set to
