Chapter 4 The Effects Explained

Feedback

This adjusts the feedback amount of the harmonist sound.

*Only PS1 can be selected when this is set to 2-Mono or 2- Stereo.

Level

This adjusts the volume of the harmonist sound.

Key

This specifies the key of the song you are playing. By specifying the key, you can create harmonies that fit the key of the song. The key setting corresponds to the key of the song (#, b) as follows.

Direct Level

Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

Creating Harmonist Scales (User Scale)

If the harmony does not sound the way you intend when “Harmony” is set to any value from “-2oct to +2oct,” then use a “User scale.”

You can set any of 29 different “User scales.”

*User scales represent settings common to all patches, so they are constantly updated (saved) without the Write procedure being carried out. You can carry out Factory Reset for the system to restore the settings to their original factory-set values (p. 73).

1.Press [FX-2], then press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] so that “FX Select” is displayed.

2.Rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to select “HRM.”

3.Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] to select “HR1 Harm” (or “HR2 Harm”), then rotate the PATCH/ VALUE dial to select a setting from “Scale 1–29.”

4.Press PARAMETER [ ] a number of times so that the User scale settings screen is displayed.

5.Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] to move the cursor, then rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to set the User scale.

Scale

You can switch the number of the user scale.

DIR (Direct)

Sets the note name of the input sound.

EFF (Effect)

Sets the note name of the output sound.

The triangle next to the note name indicates the octave.

One downward-pointing triangle indicates a note one octave below the note displayed; two triangles indicate a two-octave drop.

One upward-pointing triangle indicates a note one octave above the note displayed; two triangles indicate a two-octave rise.

■P.S: Pitch Shifter

This effect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or down) within a range of two octaves.

Fast, Medium, Slow:

This is a normal pitch shifter capable of inputting chords. The response becomes slower as you switch from Fast to Medium and then Slow, but the modulation (off-key sounds) decreases at the same time.
