Lesson Intermediate Stage 6: Performance Technique November 2008

Contents of the video

Alright folks, another tutorial for you showing you how to use this guy. It's known as the pacemaker. In this video I'm going to show you how to utilise the high and the low cut. What you need to do is with your thumb on the side of the unit, you've got a button. You need to press that upwards, keep your thumb in the upwards position. Then with your other hand, press your finger gently in the centre at the bottom circle and move your finger to the 9 o'clock position to the left. Now you'll see high-low cut. Move your finger clockwise to decrease the bass and slowly go through the high frequencies till all of a sudden, all the high frequencies and the low frequencies have vanished. Then if you move your finger anti-clockwise, you'll decrease all of the high frequencies and slowly decrease all the bass frequencies. At any time you can take your finger off

And your thumb off, and it will stay at that sound. To get it back to its original sound, thumb on the side, press upwards, finger bottom circle, slide across from the centre position to 9 o'clock, and then back. There you go. Practice and enjoy.
