Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

for somethings I dont mind the stepping. I have a very digital approach to
my music. Using midi CCs I can assume that the steps are in divisions of
128?

also in my experiments last night I discovered a "barberpole flanger" type
of effect.

use a pitch shifter with a 100% wet signal feed a source through the vf1 set
the pitch shit coarse setting to 0 and the fine setting to -1 or +1 now feed
the output back into the input for an always rising or always falling flange
type of sound. I use a matrix mixer for this, but you can build a multiplier
fairly easily with a handful of components if you do not have a matrix
mixer.
