Chapter 4 The Effects Explained

Lo PreDly (Low Pre Delay)

Adjusts the time from when the direct sound in the lower range is output until the effect sound is output. Extending the pre-delay produces the sensation of multiple sounds being played (doubling effect).

Lo Level (Low Level)

Adjusts the volume of the lower range.

Hi Rate (High Rate)

Adjusts the rate of the chorus effect for the upper range.

*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.

Hi Depth (High Depth)

Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect for the upper range. If you wish to use this as a doubling effect, use a setting of “0.”

Hi PreDly (High Pre Delay)

Adjusts the time from when the direct sound in the upper range is output until the effect sound is output. Extending the pre-delay will produce the sensation of multiple sounds being played (doubling effect).

Hi Level (High Level)

Adjusts the volume of the upper range.

Loop

When set to “OFF,” the phrase plays one time, and then stops. When set to “On,” the phrase plays continuously.

Tempo

Adjusts the rate for the phrase.

*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.

Sens

Adjusts the sensitivity for the triggering. With low settings, softly picked notes will not retrigger the phrase (i.e., the phrase will continue playing), but strongly picked notes will retrigger the phrase so that it will play back from the beginning. With high settings of this parameter, the phrase will be retriggered even when you play softly.

Effect Level

Adjusts the phrase volume.

Direct Level

Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

Creating Original Phrases (User Phrase)

In addition to the 20 different prepared phrases, you can also create up to ten of your own original phrases (User phrases).

*User phrases represent settings common to all patches, so they are constantly updated (saved) without the Write procedure being carried out. You can carry out Factory Reset for the system to restore the settings to their original factory-set values (p. 73).

2.Rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to select “ASL.”

3.Press [ ] a number of times to select “Phrase,” then rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to make the desired choice from User 1–10.
