Chorus and flanger are effects that delay the sound slightly to modulate the pitch, and combine the modulated sound with the original to produce a sensation of modulated spaciousness. The following parameters are assigned to each knob.

Knob 1

TYPE

Select the effect type

Knob 2

SPEED/PITCH

Adjusts the speed/

Knob 3

Knob 4

FEEDBACK

character.

Knob 5

MIX

Adjust the mix balance between

 

 

the effect sound and the original

 

 

sound

CHORUS (Chorus)

This chorus effect creates a sense of modulation, spaciousness, and vibrato by slightly delaying the sound, modulating its pitch, and combining it with the original sound. This is most effective when used in stereo.

FLANGER (Flanger)

This is a vintage flanger that produces modulation and a sense of pitch movement.

PHASER (Phaser)

This effect cyclically modifies the phase shift of the sound, and mixes the phase-shifted sound with the original sound to pro- duce modulation.

TREMOLO (Tremolo)

This effect adds depth to the sound by modulating the volume.

PAN (Panpot)

This effect cyclically changes the pan of sound, when stereo play- back is used.

WAH UP (Auto-wah filter up)

This is an auto-wah filter that automatically opens or closes ac- cording to how hard you pick the strings.

WAH DWN (Auto-wah filter down)

Auto wah in opposite direction from WAH UP

PITCH (Pitch)

This is a pitch shifter that can change the pitch in a +/-2 octave range.

4TH (4th up in a major key)

 

5TH (5th up in a major key)

 

MAJ6TH (6th up in a major key)

 

The Intelligent Pitch Shifter creates musically useful harmonies

 

by varying the amount of pitch shift according to the note you

4.

play and the key in which you are playing. For example if you

 

select a pitch shift of a 3rd upward in a major key (MAJ3UP), the

 

amount of pitch shift will vary automatically between three

 

semitones (a minor third) and four semitones (a major third).

 

• When MAJ3UP is used with a key setting of C

 

The pitch created by the intelligent pitch shifter is shown in parentheses ( ).

If your instrument is not tuned correctly, the results may not be as you expect. In this case, re-tune your instrument.

The intelligent pitch shifter will function when you play indi- vidual notes. It cannot produce the effect for chords.

This effect cannot be used simultaneously with a Pedal effect (ex- cept for VOLUME) or with the ROOM1ARENAAmbience effects. If you use the Intelligent Pitch Shifter in a program in which the Pedal effect or a ROOM1ARENAAmbience effect is turned on, the pedal or ROOM1ARENAAmbience effect will be turned off automatically.

SLOWATK (Slow Attack)

This effect gradually raises the volume each time you pick your guitar. Value knob 2 controls the speed of the attack, and value knob 3 controls the threshold level. As you raise the threshold level, you will need to pick more harder to produce the slow attack effect.
