Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters

CHORUS

In this effect, a slightly detuned sound is added to the original sound to add depth and breadth.

Parameter

Value

On/Off

Off, On

Mode

Mono, Stereo1, Stereo2

Rate

0–100, BPM –BPM

Depth

0–100

Pre Delay

0.0 msec–40.0 msec

Low Cut

Flat, 55 Hz –800 Hz

High Cut

700 Hz –11.0 kHz, Flat

Effect Level

0–100

On/Off (Effect On/Off)

Turns the CHORUS effect on/off.

Mode

Selection for the chorus mode.

Mono:

This chorus effect outputs the same sound from both L and R.

Stereo1:

This is a stereo chorus effect that adds different chorus sounds to L and R.

Stereo2:

This is a stereo chorus effect produced by synthesizing the spatial characteristics of the direct sound and the effect sound.

Rate

Adjusts the rate of the chorus effect.

*When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 54) specified for each patch. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).

When setting to BPM, press PARAMETER [ ] to display the Master BPM settings screen.

Depth

Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect. To use it for doubling effect, set the value to “0.”

Pre Delay

Adjusts the time needed for the effect sound to be output after the direct sound has been output. By setting a longer pre delay time, you can obtain an effect that sounds like more than one sound is being played at the same time (doubling effect).

Low Cut (Low Cut Filter)

This sets the frequency at which the low cut filter begins to take effect. This lets you cut the low-end component below the set frequency to create a clear, distinct low end, thereby bringing out the high end of the effect.

When “Flat” is selected, the low cut filter will have no effect.

High Cut (High Cut Filter)

This sets the frequency at which the high cut filter begins to take effect. This allows you to get a mild effect sound by cutting the high-end component above the set frequency.

When “Flat” is selected, the high cut filter will have no effect.

Effect Level

Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.

REVERB

This effect adds reverberation to the sound.

Parameter

On/Off (Effect On/Off)

Turns the REVERB effect on/off.

Type

This selects the reverb type. Various different simulations of space are offered.

 

Simulates an ambience mic (off-mic, placed

 

at a distance from the sound source) used

Ambience

in recording and other applications. Rather

than emphasizing the reverberation, this

 

 

reverb is used to produce a sense of open-

 

ness and depth.

 

 

Room

Simulates the reverberation in a small

room. Provides warm reverberations.

 

 

 

Hall 1

Simulates the reverberation in a concert

hall. Provides clear and spacious reverber-

 

ations.

 

 

Hall 2

Simulates the reverberation in a concert

hall. Provides warm reverberations.

 

 

 

 

Simulates plate reverberation (a reverb

Plate

unit that uses the vibration of a metallic

plate). Provides a metallic sound with a

 

 

distinct upper range.
