18:MO5: St.Tremolo (Stereo Tremolo)

This effect modulates the volume level of the input signal. The effect is stereo, and offsetting the LFO of the left and right phases from each other produces a tremolo effect between left and right.

LFO (LFO Waveform).........	TRI, SIN, Vintage,			Selects LFO Waveform
		Up, Down
Shape (LFO Shape)....................		–100	...+100	Determines how much the LFO wave-
				form is changed
Phase (LFO Phase [degree]) ......		–180...	+180	Sets the LFO phase difference between
				the left and right

Category: Dynamics-type effects

21:DY1: St.Compressor (Stereo Compressor)

This effect compresses the input signal to regulate the level and give a “punchy” effect. It is useful for guitar, piano, and drum sounds. This is a stereo compressor. You can link left and right channels, or use each channel separately.

*Speed (LFO Frequency [Hz]) ....0.02...20.0Hz		Sets the LFO speed
*Depth (Depth)	...................................... 0...100	Sets the depth of LFO modulation
Mix (Wet/Dry) .................	Dry, 1:99...99:1, Wet	Sets the balance between the effect and
		dry sounds

: LFO Waveform

This parameter selects the LFO waveform. “Vintage” wave simulates the characteristics of the tremolo created on a guitar ampliﬁer. Combining this effect with the Amp Simulation will make a realistic, vintage tremolo ampliﬁer sound.

Determines whether the left and right channels are linked or used separately

Sets the sensitivity

Sets the attack level

Sets the EQ input level

Sets the gain of Low EQ

Sets the gain of High EQ

Sets the output level of the compressor

Sets the balance between the effect and dry sounds

This parameter determines the difference between the left and right LFO phases. A higher value will simulate the auto-pan effect in which the sound is panned between left and right.

19:MO6: St.Auto Pan (Stereo Auto Pan)

This Auto Pan effect pans sound between left and right. It is ste- reo, and shifting the left and right LFO phases from each other will simulate the sound of the left and right channels crossing over each other by turns, or chasing each other.

LFO (LFO Waveform)	.......................	TRI, SIN		Selects LFO Waveform
Shape (LFO Shape)....................		–100...	+100	Determines how much the LFO wave-
				form is changed
Phase (LFO Phase [degree]) ......		–180...	+180	Sets the LFO phase difference between
				the left and right
*Speed (LFO Frequency [Hz]) ....		0.02...20.0Hz		Sets the LFO speed
*Depth (Depth)......................................		0...	100	Sets the depth of LFO modulation
Mix (Wet/Dry) .................	Dry, 1:99...99:1, Wet			Sets the balance between the effect and
				dry sounds

: LFO Shape

You can change the panning curve by modifying the LFO wave- form.

: LFO Phase

This parameter determines the difference in the left and right LFO phases. When you change the value gradually from “0,” the sound from the left and right channels will chase each other around. If you set the parameter to“ +180” or “–180,” the sound from each channel will cross over each other. You need to input different sounds to each channel in order for this parameter to be effective.

20: MO7: Ensemble

This Ensemble effect has three chorus blocks that use LFO to create subtle shimmering, and gives three dimensional depth and spread to the sound, because the signal is output from the left, right, and center.

*Speed (Speed) ....................................	1	...100	Sets the LFO speed
*Depth (Depth)......................................	0	...100	Sets the depth of LFO modulation
Shimmr (Shimmer)..............................	0...	100	Sets the amount of shimmering of the
			LFO waveform
Mix (Wet/Dry) .................	Dry, 1:99...99:1, Wet		Sets the balance between the effect and
			dry sounds

: Shimmer

This parameter sets the amount of shimmering of the LFO wave- form. Increasing this value adds more shimmering, making the chorus effect more complex and richer.

: Envelope Select

This parameter selects whether the left and right channels are linked to control both signals simultaneously, or whether each channel is controlled independently.

: Sensitivity, : Output Level

The “Sensitivity” parameter sets the sensitivity of the compressor. If this parameter is set to a higher value, lower level sounds will be boosted. With a higher Sensitivity, the overall volume level is higher. To adjust the ﬁnal volume level, use the “Output Level” parameter.

: Attack

Controls the strength of the attack that is characteristic of a compres- sor.

22:DY2: St.Limiter (Stereo Limiter)

The Limiter regulates the input signal level. It is similar to the Compressor, except that the Limiter compresses only signals that exceed the speciﬁed level to lower unnecessary peak sig- nals. The Limiter applies a peaking-type EQ to the trigger signal (which controls the degree of the Limiter effect), allowing you to set any band width to be covered. This effect is a stereo lim- iter. You can link left and right channels, or use each channel individually.

Envelp (Envelope Select) .......		L/RMix, L Only,				Selects from linking both channels, con-
		R Only, Indivi				trolling only from left channel, only from
						the right channel, or controlling each
						channel individually
Ratio (Ratio) .....................		1.0:1...50.0:1, Inf:1				Sets the signal compression ratio
Thrshl (Threshold [dB])...................			–40...		0dB	Sets the level above which the compres-
						sor is applied
Attack (Attack) .....................................				1...	100	Sets the attack time
Relse (Release)...................................				1...	100	Sets the release time
GLevel (Gain Adjust [dB])........................					–Inf,	Sets the output gain
		–38...		+24dB
SPEQ (Side PEQ Insert)	....................			Off, On		Toggles between on/off of the trigger sig-
						nal’s EQ
Triggr (Trigger Monitor) .......................				Off, On		Switches between effect output monitor
						and trigger signal monitor
Mix (Wet/Dry) ................	Dry, 1:99...		99:1, Wet			Sets the balance between the effect and
						dry sounds
Fc (Side PEQ Cutoff [Hz]) ..........		20...	12.0kHz			Sets the EQ center frequency for the trig-
						ger signal
Q (Q) ...............................................			0.5...		10.0	Sets the EQ bandwidth for the trigger
						signal
Gain (Gain [dB]) ........................		–18.0...		+18.0		Sets the EQ gain for the trigger signal

: Envelope Select

When “L/R Mix” is selected for this parameter, the left and right channels are linked to control the Limiter using the mixed signal. If “L Only” (or “R Only”) is selected, the left and right channels are linked, and the Limiter is controlled via only the left (or right) chan- nel.
