Editing sounds 9. SET COMMON parameters

The available options are:

Room1,	These types simulate the reverberation of
Room2,	a room. They provide a well-defined spa-
Room3	cious reverberation.
Hall1, Hall2	These types simulate the reverberation of
	a concert hall with a deeper reverbera-
	tion than the Room Reverbs.
Plate	This effect type simulates a plate Reverb
	(a studio device using a metal plate to
	simulate natural reverb).
Delay	This is a conventional delay that produces
	echo effects.
Panning Dly	This is a special delay in which the
	delayed sounds move left and right. It is
	effective when you are listening in stereo.

Note: Seeing that a delay effect usually only works for one part, we recommend using the dedicated Delay processor for echo effects. That way, the reverb effect can be used to “deepen” the sound field.

(2)Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “LEVEL” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the Reverb processor’s output volume (0~127). The important thing to remember here is that the overall reverb volume depends on three things: the Send level of the various sections, the output level of the Reverb processor and the setting of the [REVERB] knob.

If one of them is set to “0”, there will be no reverb. If the Send level of a section (Orchestra, for example) is set to “0”, only the selected sound will have no reverb. Other sections (whose Send value is different from “0”), however, can still be processed by the Reverb effect. If the LEVEL parameter on this page is set to “0”, the Reverb processor is effectively off for all sections.

9.2Reverb Parameters

This page contains several parameters that need to be selected using the TYPE entry. Be sure to first select the parameter you want to change and then set its value.

(1) If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select a parameter.

	■ Character (0~7)—Characteronly specifies the Reverb
	type you need (see the table above). It does not load preset
r	values for the Pre-LPF~RevPreDlyTm parameters. Selecting
	another Character thus does not reset the other parameter
	values to their factory settings. A Macro, on the other
	hand, calls up a Reverb type and suitable settings for that
	effect.
	■ Pre-LPF (0~7)—A low-pass filter can be applied to the
	high-frequency range before the signals coming from the
	various sections are processed by the reverb. Higher values
	make the Send signals darker, which results in a mellower
	reverberation. Note that this parameter only applies to the
	signals that are sent to the Reverb processor. It does not
	alter the sound of the active sections.

■Time (0~127)—This parameter sets the duration of the reverb effect. Higher values result in longer reverberation.

■Level (0~127)—This parameter sets the output volume of the Reverb processor. It is linked to its namesake on the “Reverb Macro Type” page. Higher values result in louder reverberation.

■Dly Fback (0~127)—This parameter is only available when you set Character to “6” or “7”. It specifies the num- ber of echoes: higher values result in more repetitions.

■Pre-Dly T. (0~127)—This parameter sets the time inter- val between the original (“dry”) signal and the onset of the selected reverb effect. Higher values result in a longer pre- delay time, simulating a larger reverberant space.

(2)Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “VALUE” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the parameter value (see the indications between brackets).

If you change one of the above parameter values, an “(E)” appears next to the “TYPE” name to signal that you are no longer using the presets of the macro in question.

If you then select another TYPE, however, your changes are lost and replaced by the settings of the newly selected macro.

Note: Simultaneously press the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to recall the factory setting for the currently active parameter.

9.3 Chorus Macro Type

Chorus broadens the spatial image of the sound, adding richness. You can choose from 8 types of chorus. The “Macro” label still does what its name

implies. Be aware, however, that there is no “Character” parameter on page “9.4”.

Note: You can also copy the Chorus (or even all effects) settings from another Set. See page 74.

(1)If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select an effect type.

The TYPE parameter on this page is a “Macro” func- tion, i.e. it recalls suitable preset values for all Chorus parameters on the “Chorus Parameters” page. In many instances, editing only the parameters on this page is enough.

The available options are:

Chorus 1~4	These are conventional Chorus effects
	that add spaciousness and depth to the
	sound.
FBack Chr	This is a Chorus with a Flanger-like effect
	and a soft sound.
Flanger	This is an effect that sounds somewhat
	like a jet airplane taking off or landing.
