How to turn off distortion effect on Y+

Post by Fransman »

How do you turn off the distortion effect that's activated with Y+ with some of the Dist Guitars performances?
For instance in the Crunch Guitar DNC performance?
I like it a lot for some songs, but not all.

Some of the guitars use Pitch Mod on the Low Freq Osc so check out Menu, Pitch, Pitch Mod and see what value is assigned to Joystick +Y. You will need to adjust it for each oscillator.
With the Crunch Guitar however something different is happening. Osc 7 is Triggered by Y+ so the best thing to do here would be to reduce the level of this oscillator down to zero or alternatively change the Trigger (Menu, Basic, Osc Basic) and change the Trigger to say After Touch (works quite well - only triggers when pressing very heavily on the keys and you can still use Joystick Y+ for the other effects).

... and it worked out great!

Thanks again, I don't think I would have looked for/found this setting in Osc 7 !
That's quite deep in the sound edit mode (which I find quite difficult actually).

It also worked for Dist Gtr 2 DNC, which is also one of my favorites.
