Chapter 4 The Effects Explained

NS: Noise Suppressor

This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by the bass. Use this when noise that occurs when you are not playing the bass becomes noticeable. Since it suppresses the noise by monitoring the volume level of the actual bass sound being input, it always gives a natural effect.

Parameter

Value

On/Off

Off, On

Threshold

0–100

Release

0–100

On/Off (Effect On/Off)

This parameter turns the noise suppressor on/off.

This setting can be made with the PATCH/VALUE dial.

*You cannot switch the noise suppressor on and off by pressing [NAME/NS/MASTER].

Threshold

Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is appropriate. Use a lower setting when the noise level is low.

*High threshold settings may prevent sounds from being output when you play with your bass volume turned down.

Release

Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until the noise level reaches “0.”

MASTER

Parameter

Value

Effect Level

0–120

Master BPM

40–250

Effect Level

Adjusts the overall volume of the processed sound.

*When the Bypass EXP Mode (p. 55) and Noise Suppressor (p. 44) is set to “Off” and only CHORUS or REV/DLY is used, the direct sound is output as analog output. In this case, EFFECT LEVEL does not change the volume of the direct sound.

Master BPM

Adjusts the BPM value for each patch.

*BPM (beats per minute) indicates the number of quarter note beats that occur in one minute.

*When you have an external MIDI device connected, the Master BPM is synchronized to the external MIDI device’s tempo, so you cannot set the Master BPM. If you want to be able to set the Master BPM, set the “MIDI: Sync Clock” (p. 65) to Internal.

Master BPM Tap Input

You can use the CTL pedal to set the Master BPM by means of tap input.

Depress the CTL pedal two or more times in time with the performance’s tempo, and the Master BPM is set to match the timing you’ve used while depressing the pedal.

To use the CTL pedal and tap tempo to set the Master BPM, set Pedal Assign as follows:

Quick Settings (p. 46)

 

CTL PEDAL:

Manual Settings (p. 47)

 

CTL PEDAL:

On

CTL PEDAL Target:

Master BPM (Tap)

CTL PEDAL Target Min:

Off

CTL PEDAL Target Max:

CTL PEDAL Source Mode:

Normal

FV: Foot Volume

This is a volume control effect.

This is normally controlled with the expression pedal.

ParameterValue

Level0–100

Level

This sets the volume level for the Foot Volume.

*Note the following points when Bypass EXP Mode (p.55) is set to “Off.”

•Analog bypass sound is output when all effects are set to “OFF,” and the volume level cannot be controlled using the Foot Volume.

•When CHORUS or REV/DLY are the only effects being used, only the analog bypass sound is output for the direct sound, so only the effect sound's volume level is controlled with Foot Volume.
