Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters

PH (Phaser)

By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the phaser effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound.

Parameter	Value
Type	4 Stage, 8 Stage, 12 Stage,
	Bi-Phase
Rate	0–100, BPM –BPM
Depth	0–100
Manual	0–100
Resonance	0–100
Step Rate	Off, 0–100, BPM –BPM
Effect Level	0–100
Direct Level	0–100

Type

Selects the number of stages that the phaser effect will use.

4 Stage	This is a four-phase effect. A light phaser
	effect is obtained.
8 Stage	This is an eight-phase effect. It is a popular
	phaser effect.
12 Stage	This is a twelve-phase effect. A deep phase
	effect is obtained.
Bi-Phase	This is the phaser with two phase shift cir-
	cuits connected in series.

Rate

This sets the rate of the phaser 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

Determines the depth of the phaser effect.

Manual

Adjusts the center frequency of the phaser effect.

Resonance

Determines the amount of resonance (feedback). Increasing the value will emphasize the effect, creating a more unusual sound.

Step Rate

This sets the cycle of the step function that changes the rate and depth. When it is set to a higher value, the change will be finer.

Set this to “Off” when not using the Step function.

*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.

Effect Level

This adjusts the volume of the phaser.

Direct Level

This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

FL (Flanger)

The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character to the sound.

Parameter	Value
Rate	0–100, BPM –BPM
Depth	0–100
Manual	0–100
Resonance	0–100
Separation	0–100
Low Cut	Flat, 55.0 Hz–800 Hz
Effect Level	0–100
Direct Level	0–100

Rate

This sets the rate of the flanging 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

Determines the depth of the flanging effect.

Manual

Adjusts the center frequency at which to apply the effect.
