Insert Mode Program. Series Routing (default). Use the optional Parallel Routing for … parallel interval effects. Program MIX 100%% [CC#11], with Auto Engage Off [CC#80]. For avant-garde harmony structures, jazz textures, nu-metal, or extra-wide doubletracking, drop the [P] Mix down to 50%. PolyFlex into TriceraChorus, with stereo use in mind.
Base Program: Almost imperceptibly detuned doubling, on deck for digitized slide, string bending, trills & transpositions. Reality-based spinoff from an unrelated Program concept.
Tap Performance switch to punch in glides between selectable sets of intervals. Fold in deepening vibrato when using an expression pedal. Specializing in whammy bar bumps here, but easily adjustable toward pedal steel FX. Rounded out with switchable trills, stereo phaser, modulatable freeze + 3 sets of base pitch transpositions.
* EXP1 controls Detune + Manual A & B in PolyFlex, and the [B] HotKnob, Depth C, Detune & Detune Mix in TriceraChorus.
* Saved at the full Heel position. The last control engaged takes precedence (EXP1 or FLEX DUAL). Alternate between switch & pedal position for additional pitch-bending FX.
* Set Auto Engage = On [CC#80] for trill effects using shallow throw EXP1.
* Hammer-ons or pull-offs between Shift A/B & Flex A/B intervals.
* AUX 4,5,6 engage ‘hidden’ FX: HS1, HS2, HS3.
HotKnob mappings, for shaping of the pitch-FLEX envelopes:
* [P] HotKnob (+/-) adjust PolyFlex Shift A & B with Chorus/Vibrato/Chorale Depth in TriceraChorus [default = 50 OR CC#2]
* Base source tones of unison + vibrato. Modify (+/-) 2 octaves, with varying amounts of chorus / chorale.
* [A] HotKnob (+/-) adjust PolyFlex Flex A & B [default = 45 OR CC#3].
* Base target tones (major 2nd down). Modify destinations (slight bends up/down = m2nd, whammy = octaves, etc.)
* [B] HotKnob (+/-) adjust TriceraChorus Rate [default = 43 OR EXP1].
* MIDI CC# 1 TriceraChorus Depth L & R
* MIDI CC# 2 [P] HotKnob
* MIDI CC# 3 [A] HotKnob
* MIDI CC# 7 [P] Program Out Gain
* MIDI CC# 8 PolyFlex Mix
* MIDI CC# 9 TriceraChorus Delay
* MIDI CC#10 PolyFlex Pan A & B
* MIDI CC#11 [P] Program Mix
* MIDI CC#12 TriceraChorus Env Mix

Other options:
* Momentary FLEX DUAL for PolyFlex.
* The last control engaged takes precedence (EXP1 or FLEX DUAL).
* Latching SWIRL (stereo phasers) on both Performance pages.
* HS1 (exposed) – transpose base Shift A & B intervals down a fourth.
* Latching FREEZE for PolyFlex.
* Hidden FX *
* HS1 – transpose Shift A & B Unison intervals down a fourth.
* HS2 – transpose Shift A & B Unison intervals up a fourth.
* HS3 – transpose Shift A & B Unison intervals up a fifth.
[NOTE] Get the most accurate results before distortion, and earlier in the signal chain. After distortion, the uniquely hollowed-out effect can benefit from a boost in volume, returning it back to unity gain.

Ive copped many “Brock” patches. But this is where I initiated “like.”
Super fun with the expression pedal.
Cheers.
