Use the Sustain knob to\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eadd compression for long sustained notes and chords while smoothing out your transients. At a minimum, you will have a minimal effect, but as you\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eincrease the knob, you will hear more extended notes and squashed transients.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrive Control\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGive your sound some teeth by adding a subtle breakup or a tastefully driven distortion.

Blend\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eyour clean and driven signal to taste for increased note clarity as the clean and dirty channels run parallel.
