and altered comfortably and precise by FOOT

additional alteration
can be done live on the fly :

w/ the BASE FS for high or low generated tones

w/ the 50/100 FS for other high or low generated tones
( re-adjust the osc- threshold with the Expression Pedal then )

w/ the AMP/FUZZ FS for singing or trilling tones !
