Boss SY-200 Synthesizer

Can the sy-200 do a standard whammy effect, and if so can the 2nd control foot switch be used to achieve this? I'd mainly be looking to do a one octave up in n real time with the ability to set the speed at which the note "ramps" up.

Yes, and no. It can do that to the effected sound, but you can’t whammy the dry bass sound, if that’s what you want.
