Chapter 4 The Effects Explained
■ FL (Flanger)
The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like
character to the sound.
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. 46) 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.
Resonance
Determines the amount of resonance (feedback). Increasing
the value will emphasize the effect, creating a more unusual
sound.
Separation
Adjusts the diffusion. The diffusion increases as the value
increases.
Effect Level
This adjusts the volume of the flanger.
Direct Level
This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
■ HR (Harmonist)
“Harmonist” is the amount of shifting is adjusted according
to an analysis of the guitar input, allowing you to create
harmonics based on diatonic scales.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more
sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.
Voice
This selects the number of voices for the pitch shift sound
(harmony).
1-Voice:
One-voice pitch-shifted sound output in monaural.
2-Mono:
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (HR1, HR2) output in
monaural.
2-Stereo:
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (HR1, HR2) output through
left and right channels.
Harmony
This determines the pitch of the sound added to the input
sound, when you are making a harmony. It allows you to set
it by up to 2 octaves higher or lower than the input sound.
When the scale is set to “Scale 1–Scale29,” this parameter sets
the user scale number to be used.
PreDly (pre delay)
Adjusts the time from when the direct sound is heard until
the harmonist sounds are heard. Normally you can leave this
set at “0ms.”
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set
according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 46) 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
This adjusts the feedback amount of the harmonist sound.
Level
This adjusts the volume of the harmonist sound.
Key
Specify the key of the song you are playing. By specifying the
key, you can create harmonies that fit the key of the song.
The key setting corresponds to the key of the song (#, b) as
follows.

Direct Level
This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
