Chapter 4 The Effects Explained

CHORUS

This is an effect that adds a slightly detuned sound to the original bass sound, resulting in a beautiful sound with greater depth and breadth. Developed by BOSS, this is one effect that is popular the world over.

*When the Bypass EXP Mode (p. 55) and Noise Suppressor (p. 44) is set to “Off” and only CHORUS or REV/DLY is used, the direct sound is output as analog output.

Parameter	Value
On/Off	Off, On
Mode	Mono, Stereo
Rate	0–100, BPM –BPM
Depth	0–100
Pre Delay	0.0 msec–40.0 msec
Low Cut	Flat, 55.0 Hz –800 Hz
Effect Level	0–100

On/Off (Effect On/Off)

Sets the chorus effect to ON or OFF.

Mode

Selects the chorus mode.

Mono:

Chorus with the same sound output from both the left and right channels.

Stereo:

This is a stereo chorus effect that adds different chorus sounds to the left and right channels.

Rate

Adjusts the rate of the chorus effect.

*When set to BPM, the value of each parameter is set according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 44) specified for each patch. This makes it easy 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 the BPM, press PARAMETER [ ] to display the Master BPM settings screen.

Depth

Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect. To use it for doubling, set the value to “0.”

Doubling

With doubling, a slightly delayed sound (short delay sound) is added to the original sound, creating an effect that sounds like two people playing simultaneously (multiple sounds played), for an effect with greater depth.

Pre Delay

Adjusts the time needed for the effect sound to be output after the direct sound has been output. Setting a longer pre- delay time results in a doubling effect.

Low Cut

The low-cut cuts the frequencies in the chorus sound that are below a specified frequency. When the low end of the chorus sound is cut so that the chorus is applied only to the higher frequencies, the chorus sound appears only in the harmonics, without any modulation of the fundamental frequencies, creating a great sound effect for the bass. This setting adjusts the frequency at which the low-cut begins to take effect. When “Flat” is selected, the low-cut has no effect.

Effect Level

This adjusts the volume level of the chorus sound that is mixed with the direct sound. The effect deepens as the value is increased.

REV/DLY (Reverb/Delay)/ SOS (Sound On Sound)

You can select and use the reverb/delay or Sound On Sound with Fx Select.

*When the Bypass EXP Mode (p. 55) and Noise Suppressor (p. 44) is set to “Off” and only CHORUS or REV/DLY is used, the direct sound is output as analog output.

Parameter	Value
On/Off	Off, On
Fx Select	Reverb, Delay, Reverb&Delay,
	SoundOnSound

On/Off (Effect On/Off)

Sets the reverb/delay effect to ON or OFF.

* This setting is not available when SoundOnSound is selected.

Fx Select (Effects Select)

Reverb:

This effect adds reverberation to the sound.

Delay:

This effect creates and outputs a delayed sound from the direct sound.

Reverb&Delay:

You can also use reverb and delay simultaneously.

SoundOnSound:

With this effect, a sound is played and recorded, and then while playback of that sound repeats (loops), following sounds are layered onto the sound one after another.
