Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters

SDD (Short Delay)

This is a delay with the maximum delay time of 400 ms. This effect is useful for making the sound fatter.

Parameter	Value
DlyTime	0 ms–400 ms, BPM –BPM
Feedback	0–100
Effect Level	0–120

DlyTime (Delay Time)

Adjusts the delay time.

*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 time to twice or four times the time length of the BPM when the set time is increased).

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

Feedback

Feedback refers to returning the delayed signal back into the input of the delay. This parameter adjusts the volume that is returned to the input. Higher settings will result in more delay repeats.

Effect Level

Adjusts the volume of delay sound.

HU (Humanizer)

This can create human vowel-like sounds.

Parameter	Value
Mode	Picking, Auto, Random
Vowel 1	a, e, i, o, u Mode= Picking,
	Auto
Vowel 2	a, e, i, o, u Mode= Picking,
	Auto
Sens	0–100	Mode= Picking
Rate	0–100, BPM	–BPM
Depth	0–100
Manual	0–100	Mode= Auto
Level	0–100

Mode

This sets the mode that switches the vowels.

Picking:

It changes from vowel 1 to vowel 2 along with the picking. The time spent for the change is adjusted with the rate.

Auto:

By adjusting the rate and depth, two vowels (Vowel 1 and Vowel 2) can be switched automatically.

Random:

Five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) are called out at random by adjusting the rate and depth.

Vowel 1

This selects the first vowel.

Vowel 1 Vowel 2

Vowel 2

This selects the second vowel.

Sens (Sensitivity)

This adjusts the sensitivity of the humanizer. When it is set to a lower value, no effect of the humanizer is obtained with weaker picking, while stronger picking produces the effect. When it is set to a higher value, the effect of the humanizer can be obtained whether the picking is weak or strong.

Rate

This adjusts the cycle for changing the two vowels.

*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

This adjusts the depth of the effect.

Manual

This determines the point where the two vowels are switched. When it is set to “50,” vowel 1 and vowel 2 are switched in the same length of time. When it is set to lower than “50,” the time for vowel 1 is shorter. When it is set to higher than “50,” the time for vowel 1 is longer.

Level

Adjusts the volume.
