Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters

ENH (Enhancer)

By adding sounds which are out-of-phase with the direct sound, this effect enhances the definition of the sound, and pushes it to the forefront.

Parameter

Value

Sens

0–100

Freq

800 Hz–10.0 kHz

Mix Level

0–100

Sens (Sensitivity)

Adjusts the manner in which the enhancer will be applied relative to the input signals.

Freq (Frequency)

Adjusts the frequency at which the enhancer effect will begin to be applied. The effect will be made apparent in the frequencies above the frequency set here.

Mix Level

Adjusts the amount of phase-shifted sound of the range set by “Frequency” that is to be mixed with the input.

SG (Slow Gear)

This produces a volume-swell effect (“violin-like” sound).

ParameterValue

Sens0–100

Rise Time

0–100

Sens (Sensitivity)

This adjusts the sensitivity of the slow gear. When it is set to a lower value, the effect of the slow gear can be obtained only with a stronger picking, while no effect is obtained with a weaker picking. When the value is set higher, the effect is obtained even with a weak picking.

Rise Time

This adjusts the time needed for the volume to reach its maximum from the moment you begin picking.

TR (Tremolo)

Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume.

Parameter

Value

Wave Shape

0–100

Rate

0–100, BPM –BPM

Depth

0–100

Wave Shape

This adjusts changes in volume level.

Rate

Adjusts the frequency (speed) of the change.

*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 effect.
