Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters

DF (Defretter)

This simulates a fretless guitar.

Parameter	Value
Tone	-50–+50
Sens	0–100
Attack	0–100
Depth	0–100
Resonance	0–100
Effect Level	0–100
Direct Level	0–100

Tone

Adjusts the amount of blurring between the notes.

Sens (Sensitivity)

This controls the input sensitivity of the defretter.

Attack

Adjusts the attack of the picking sound.

Depth

This controls the rate of the harmonics.

Resonance

Adds a characteristically resonant quality to the sound.

Effect Level

Adjust the volume of the defretter sound.

Direct Level

Adjust the volume of the direct sound.

RM (Ring Modulator)

This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the guitar sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound will be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.

Parameter	Value
Mode	Normal, Intelligent
Freq	0–100
Effect Level	0–100
Direct Level	0–100

Mode

This selects the mode for the ring modulator.

Normal:

This is a normal ring modulator.

Intelligent:

By ring-modulating the input signal, a bell like sound is created. The intelligent ring modulator changes the oscillation frequency according to the pitch of the input sound and therefore produces a sound with the sense of pitch, which is quite different from “Normal.” This effect does not give a satisfactory result if the pitch of the guitar sound is not correctly detected. So, you must use single notes, not chords.

Freq (Frequency)

This adjusts the frequency of the internal oscillator.

Effect Level

This adjusts the volume of the effect sound.

Direct Level

This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

FB (Feedbacker)

This allows you to use feedback playing techniques.

*Note that the notes you want to apply feedback to must be played singly and cleanly.

*You can use the foot switch to switch the effect on and off. For more details, refer to “Setting the External Pedal Function for Individual Patches (Assign)” (p. 60).

Parameter	Value
Mode	OSC, Natural
Rise Time	0–100	Mode= OSC
Rise Time (▲)	0–100	Mode= OSC
F.B.Level	0–100
F.B.Level (▲)	0–100	Mode= OSC
Vib Rate	0–100, BPM	–BPM
		Mode= OSC
Vib Depth	0–100	Mode= OSC

Mode

Select either oscillator “OSC” or natural “Natural.”

OSC (Oscillator):

An artificial feedback sound will be created internally.

*When OSC is selected, the effect is activated after a single note is played and the note stabilizes. A feedback effect is created when the effect switches on; the feedback disappears when the OSC effect switches off.

Natural:

Analyzes the pitch of the guitar sound being input, and then creates a feedback sound.
