Basic Operation

Send/return effect algorithms and parameters

Algorithm 1 ( HALL 0 – HALL 9 )

This is a stereo effect that adds hall type reverberation. Higher settings produce longer reverb time.

HALL

0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parameter ( TONE 0 – TONE 10 )

 

 

 

HALL

9

TONE

0

Adjusts the reverb tone. Higher settings produce stronger

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

treble boost. (5 is the flat setting.)

 

 

 

TONE 10

 

 

 

 

Algorithm 2 ( ROOM 0 – ROOM 9 )

 

 

 

This is a stereo effect that adds room type reverberation. Higher settings

ROOM

0

produce longer reverb time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parameter ( TONE 0 – TONE 10 )

 

 

 

ROOM

9

TONE

0

Adjusts the reverb tone. Higher settings produce stronger

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

treble boost. (5 is the flat setting.)

 

 

 

TONE 10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Algorithm 3 ( DOUBLE0 – DOUBLE9 )

This is a mono doubling delay which adds a slightly delayed component to the original sound, giving the sound more body. Higher settings produce more delayed components.

DOBLE 0

 

 

Parameter

( TIME 2 – TIME 50 )

 

 

DOBLE 9

TIME 2

 

Adjusts the delay time in the range from 2 – 50 ms.

TIME 50

Algorithm 4 ( SHORT 0 – SHORT 9 )

This is a mono short delay. Higher settings produce more delayed components.

SHORT 0

 

Parameter ( TIME 50 – TIME 250 )

SHORT 9

TIME 50

 

Adjusts the delay time in the range from 50 – 250 ms.

TIME250

Algorithm 5 ( LONG 0 – LONG 9 )

Algorithm 6

( CHO MN )

 

 

This is a mono chorus effect. A component whose pitch shifts cyclically up

 

 

and down is added to the original sound, resulting in a wavering, expansive

 

 

sound.

 

 

 

 

 

CHO MN

 

Parameter ( RATE 1 – RATE 50 )

 

RATE 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adjusts the fluctuation rate. Higher values produce faster

 

 

 

 

fluctuation.

 

 

RATE 50

 

 

 

 

 

Algorithm 7

( CHO ST )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a stereo chorus effect. The pitch of left and right components are

 

 

shifted upside down, resulting in a unique, expansive sound.

 

 

 

 

CHO ST

 

Parameter ( RATE 1 – RATE 50 )

 

RATE 1

Adjusts the fluctuation rate. Higher values produce faster

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fluctuation.

 

 

RATE 50

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.Use the [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys to select the algorithm and the setting value.

The up/down [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys change the setting value. When the highest or lowest setting is reached, the unit switches to the next algorithm.

HALL 8

HALL 9

ROOM 0

Pressing the left/right [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys changes directly to the next algorithm.

ROOM 5

DOBLE 0

3. To change the parameter of the currently selected algorithm, press the

LONG 0

This is a mono long delay. Higher settings produce more delayed components.

[ENTER/YES] key.

While the algorithm is displayed, pressing the [ENTER/YES] key calls up the parameter for

that algorithm.

Parameter ( TIME 25 – TIME 100 )

LONG 9

TIME 25

Adjusts the delay time in the range from 250 ms (setting

 

 

 

 

 

 

value 25) – 1000 ms (setting value 100).
