VIBRATO: Vibrato is produced by causing the pitch of a note to "waver" slightly back and forth, creating a subtle pulsing effect. This effect is often created by players of string instruments and horns. The DM10's vibrato effects have the same editable parameters.

Mono Vibrato: Traditional vibrato effect.

Vibrato: Vibrato with a simulated stereo effect, creating a "wider" sound.

Rate: The speed of the vibrato (how quickly the pitch wavers).

Depth: How much the pitch wavers from the center/original pitch.

Level: The volume level of the vibrato.

DELAYS: A delay effect is a kind of echo, which varies depending on the size of the room it emulates and the rate, volume, and decay of the echo. The DM10's delay effects have some common parameters with some notable differences.

Mono Doubler: A very quick delay that creates a "double-hit" effect.

Doubler: A very quick delay that creates a "double-hit" effect in a stereo field.

Delay: The speed of the delay/echo.

Level: The volume level of the delayed signal.

Mono Slapback: A quick – almost immediate – delay.

Slapback: Quick delay with a simulated stereo effect, creating a "wider" sound.

Delay: The speed of the delay/echo.

Level: The volume level of the delayed signal.

Mono Delay: A traditional delay effect.

Delay: The speed of the delay/echo.

Feedback: How much of the echo will be routed back into the processor again, which creates a longer-lasting, intensified echo effect.

Damp (dampening): The amount of

low- and high-frequency dampening of the echo. At negative values, the sound of the echo gets progressively duller, which is the most "natural" echo effect. This is also useful for simulating tape echo. At positive values, the sound of the echo gets progressively thinner.

Level: The volume level of the delayed signal.

Delay: A traditional delay with two independent delay lines.

LDly / RDly (left/right delay): The speed of the delay/echo. This can be set independently for the left and right channels to create an even wider, more varied sound.

LFBk / RFBk (left/right feedback): How much of the echo will be routed back into the processor again, which creates a longer-lasting, intensified echo effect. This can be set independently for the left and right channels to create an even wider, more varied sound.

Damp (damping): The amount of low- and high-frequency dampening of the echo. At negative values, the sound of the echo gets progressively duller. At positive values, the sound of the echo gets progressively thinner.

Level: The volume level of the delayed signal.
