Mix Level
Adjusts the amount of enhanced sound added to the mix.
R.M: Ring Modulator
This effect combines the bass sound with the sound from the
SG: Slow Gearinternal oscillator, creating a sound with a pitchless, metallic,
bell-like character.
This produces a volume-swell effect (similar to how a violin
is played).ParameterValue

DEF: DefretterFreq (Frequency)
Adjusts the frequency of the internal oscillator.

Sens
This controls the sensitivity to the input sound. Adjust this
setting while playing your bass until you obtain the most
natural-sounding tone changes.
Attack
Adjusts the tone of the attack portion of the sound. The tone
changes more slowly as the value is increased.
