EFFECT FUNCTIONS (TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS)

EFFECT FUNCTIONS

This unit can produce beat effects linked to the BPM, and sound-color effects linked to the COLOR dials provided for each channel, for a total of 18 basic effects (including [SND/RTN]). In addition, by changing the parameters for each kind of effect, an extremely wide range of effect variations can be produced.

A wide variety of beat effects can be achieved by varying the temporal parameter via the TIME dial (Parameter 1), as well as quantitative parameter via the LEVEL/DEPTH dial (Parameter 2).

Sound-color effect changes can be added by varying the position of the COLOR dials. By combining beat effects and sound-color effects, an even greater range of performance effects can be produced.

TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS

1. DELAY (One repeat sound)

3. REVERSE DELAY (One repeat sound)

This function allows an inverted delay sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and simply.

Example

Original

1 beat

1/1 reverse delay

This function allows a delay sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and simply. For example, When a 1/2 beat delay sound is added, four beats become eight beats. Also, by adding a 3/4 beat delay sound, the rhythm becomes syncopated.

Example

Original (4 beats)

1/2 delay (8 beats)

1beat

4.Auto PAN (L-R BALANCE)

This function distributes sounds in units of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to right and left channels in synch with the rhythm (auto beat pan).

Also, short auto pan can be performed, allowing sounds to be distributed to right/left very quickly, an effect impossible to perform manually.

2. ECHO (Multiple repeat sounds)

This function allows an echo sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and simply. For example, when a 1/1 beat echo sound is used to cutoff the input sound, a sound in synch with the beat is repeated together with fadeout.

Also, by adding a 1/1 beat echo to the microphone, the microphone sound repeats in synch with the music beat.

If a 1/1 beat echo is applied to the vocal portion of a track, the song takes on an effect reminiscent of a “round”.

5. Auto TRANS

In units of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 beat, the sound is automatically cut in synch with the rhythm.

Example
