GE X-9 owner manual Effect parameters, LPFa, Storing effects

7 Effects

Some music may have rather complex rhythms, and it may be unable to determine the beat automatically.

If the X-9 cannot determine the timing of the music automatically, you can use the TAP key to set the timing.

The TAP key can also be used to set the

tempo used for the effect when the EFFECT key is not lit.

The different values obtainable here (1, 2, 4, 1/2, etc.) allow you to set up interesting rhythms matching the tempo of the music to the effect.

The TAP and BPM indicators under the display show whether the timing has been obtained manually (TAP) or automatically (BPM).

To exit the BEAT mode, turn the DATA knob to enter the time setting mode. Turning the knob again will edit the time value.

Effect parameters

The following are the parameters which may be set for the X-9’s internal effects:

Effect name	LEVEL	TIME	BEAT
REVERB	0 to 100	0 to 100	—
DELAY	0 to 100	1 to 3,500 (ms) 2, 1, 3/4, 1/2,
			1/4
ECHO	0 to 100	1 to 3,500 (ms) 2, 1, 3/4, 1/2,
			1/4
FLANGER	0 to 100	10 ms to 16 s	32, 16, 8, 4, 2,
			1 1/2
AUTO	0 to 100	10 ms to 16 s	2, 1, 3/4, 1/2,
PAN			1/4

Effect name	LEVEL	TIME	BEAT
PITCH	0 to 100	–100% to	—
		+100%
LPFa	0 to 100	10 to 1,000	32, 16, 8, 4, 2,

TRANS	0 to 100	10 ms to 16 s	2, 1, 3/4, 1/2,

a.The LPF has a third parameter, which is the frequency at which the filter operates. Press the FUNCTION key, so that the LEVEL and TIME indicators both light. Use the DATA knob to set this value from 0 to 100.

Storing effects

You can store up to 30 of each type of effect with the settings you have made in the X-9 (these settings are memorized, even when the power is turned off). This means 8 types of effect with 30 memories for each effect = 240 memories in total.

1 Make sure the EFFECT key is lit (if it is not, this procedure will not work).

2 Press and hold the
FUNCTION key for about
two seconds. The MEMO
indicator blinks, and the	MEMO
display shows MEMO

3 Press the ENTER key. The MEMO indicator now lights steadily, and number of the next empty “slot” for storing effects is shown in the display.

If all the available slots have been filled, the display alternately shows FULL (FULL) and

1.

4Use the DATA knob to select the number of the slot to store the effect (if you don’t want to use the empty one suggested by the X-9 or if you have to overwrite an existing setting). The number flashes in the display (or if all slots are full, the display alternately shows FULL (FULL) and the number you selected.

5Press the ENTER key. If the slot is empty, the settings are stored in the slot, and the existing settings are overwritten. If there is data already in the slot, the display shows SuRE

(sure). Press ENTER to overwrite, FUNCTION to cancel.
