Fender Model Guide

Continuously morphs between waveform shapes to create evolving textures, animated timbres and expressive synthesizer sounds that respond dynamically to playing input and modulation sources.

• PRESET Selects from a list of factory presets designed by Fender specifically for the this synth. Any preset modified by the user will revert to showing “Custom” in the preset list.
• ATTACK Adjusts attack time of synth notes. Set to 0 for plucky transients and turn up to engage swell on note onsets.
• CUTOFF Adjusts internal lowpass filter cutoff frequency.
• RES Adjusts resonance or Q-factor of the synth’s internal lowpass filter.
• ENV Sets depth that the target of the envelope will be modulated due to the energy envelope of the guitar signal. Set target control to a low value to make the envelope action more obvious.
• SENS Sets sensitivity of the energy envelope tracking. Higher values will cause the filter cutoff to move more responsively to the input; lower values will have less envelope destination movement.
• WAVE Selects synth oscillator waveform shape. In Wavemorph’s case, different shape options provide access to a suite of tones that can be indexed using the “Morph” control. The shapes are designed such that the waveform can be changed with the morph control in real-time to create interesting sonic textures.
• MORPH Lets the user manually index or “morph” through various shapes stored within a given waveform. The user can either scroll through the morph manually, tie an expression pedal to the control, or just let the ENV/LFO do the work for on-the-fly expressive wave morphing.
• PITCH Adjusts oscillator waveform pitch.
• ENV TARGET Selects target destination for the envelope tracker. Options include Morph, Cutoff and Morph+Cut off. This control will decide which of those synth features are modulated by the guitar’s input signal energy.
• VOLUME Adjusts synth master volume.
• PITCH WHEEL Provides a control for manually sweeping pitch by an octave both upward and downward. TIP: Connect an expression pedal to this control for on-the-fly synth pitch bends.
• LFO SHAPE Selects low-frequency oscillator waveform shape.
• LFO TARGET Chooses destination for LFO modulation to target. Options include Morph, Cutoff, Morph+Cutoff, Synth Pitch and Synth Volume.
• SPREAD Adjusts synth output stereo field spread.
• LFO DEPTH Adjusts modulation depth applied by the LFO.
• LFO RATE Adjusts speed in Hertz of the LFO.
• LFO TAP DIV Sets note division applied to the LFO rate. This syncs to the BPM setting of the TMP.
• FREEZE MODE Select operation mode for synth freeze functionality. Refer to Arctic/Antarctic Sustainer guide for more info on how to use this feature (pages 95-96).
• FREEZE Engages freeze functionality to capture current synth signal and sustain indefinitely (works differently in different modes).
• GLISS Adjusts pitch slide time between frozen synth sounds.
• MIX Controls blend between input guitar signal and output synth signal.
