EFFECT FUNCTIONS (TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS)

EFFECT FUNCTIONS

This unit is equipped with a total of 8 basic effects using beat effects and in-loops linked to the BPM. By changing the parameters for each effect, a wide variety of new effects can be produced. By using the BEAT/BANK buttons to set the time parameters, an even wider assortment of beat effects can be produced.

TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS

1. DELAY (One repeat sound)

This function allows a delay sound with beat of 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1 or 4/1 to be added quickly and simply. For example, When a 1/2 beat delay sound is added, four beats become eight beats. Also, by adding a 3/4 beat delay sound, the rhythm becomes syncopated.

Example

Original (4 beats)

1/2 delay (8 beats)

4. FLANGER

In units of 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat, 1 cycle of flanger effect is produced quickly and easily.

Example

Short delay

1 cycle = 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat

5. PHASER

In units of 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat, 1 cycle of phaser effect is produced quickly and easily.

Example

Phase shift

1 cycle = 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat

2. ECHO (Multiple repeat sounds)

This function allows an echo sound with beat of 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1 or 4/1 to be added quickly and simply.

For example, when a 1/1 beat echo sound is used to cutoff the input sound, a sound in synch with the beat is repeated together with fadeout.

Also, by adding a 1/1 beat echo to the microphone, the microphone sound repeats in synch with the music beat.

If a 1/1 beat echo is applied to the vocal portion of a track, the song takes on an effect reminiscent of a “round”.

Example

1 beat
