Insert Effect Parameter Functions

Speaker Simulator

This simulates the characteristics of various types of speakers. When the output of the BR-900CD is connected directly to a mixer, etc., this can be used to create the sound of your favorite speakers system.

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the speaker simulator effect on/off.

Type

Selects the type of speaker that will be simulated.

*“On Mic” simulates the sound when a dynamic microphone is used, and “Off Mic” simulates the sound when a condenser microphone is used.

■With “COSM GTR AMP,” “COSM COMP GTR,” or “VO+GT AMP” algorithms

Mic Set CENTER, 1–10 cm

This simulates the microphone position. “CENTER” simulates the condition that the microphone is set in the middle of the speaker cone. “1–10 cm” means that the microphone is moved away from the center of the speaker cone.

Mic Level	0–100
Adjusts the volume of the microphone.
Dir Level	0–100
Adjust the volume of the direct sound.

Tremolo/Pan

Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume. Pan cyclically moves the stereo position between left and right (when stereo output is used).

*This effect can be used when the MODULATION “Type” parameter is set to “TRM/PAN.”

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the tremolo/pan effect on/off.

Mode

Selects tremolo or pan; also selects how the effect is applied

TRM-TRI:

The volume will change cyclically. Smooth change will be produced.

TRM-SQR:

The volume will change cyclically. Abrupt change will be produced.

PAN-TRI:

The sound will be moved cyclically between left and right. Smooth change will be produced.

PAN-SQR:

The sound will be moved cyclically between left and right. Abrupt change will be produced.

*“PAN-TRI” and “PAN-SQR” are obtained with stereo recording (using two tracks).

Rate 0–100

Adjust the rate at which the effect will operate.

Depth 0–100

Adjusts the depth of the effect.

Voice Transformer

This controls the formants, allowing a variety of voice characters to be created. This adds two voice characters with differing formants to the direct sound.

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the voice transformer effect on/off.

Formant1 -100– +100

Adjust the formant of the voice character 1.

Formant2 -100– +100

Adjust the formant of the voice character 2.

FX1 Level 0–100

Adjust the volume of the voice character 1.

FX2 Level 0–100

Adjust the volume of the voice character 2.

Dir Level 0–100

Adjust the volume of the direct sound.
