EFFECT FUNCTIONS (TYPE OF SOUND-COLOR EFFECT/USING SOUND-COLOR EFFECTS)
TYPE OF SOUND-COLOR EFFECT1. HARMONIC

Detects deviation of the input sound from absolute pitch and automatically compensates to the nearest key.

By rotating the dial, the pitch/key can be adjusted within a range of ±6 half-tones.

2. SWEEP

This function shifts the frequence of the filter, producing large changes in tone. When the dial is rotated clockwise, the effect produced is that of a band-pass filter, while rotating the dial counterclockwise produces the effect of a notch filter.

3. CRUSH

This effect slightly “crushes” the sound, applying a certain

accent to the sound.

2COLOR

Sound-color effects are linked to the COLOR effect parameter dial for each channel.

* Sound-color effects are not applied to microphone inputs.

1.Press the sound-color effect selector buttons (HARMONIC, SWEEP, FILTER, CRUSH) for the desired effect.

HARMONIC:

Applies a pitch-shifted effect matching the track’s key.

SWEEP:

The track is passed through the filter and output.

CRUSH:

The track’s sound is output in a “crush” effect.

FILTER:

The track is filtered and output.

The button for the selected effect will flash.

The selected effect is applied equally to channels 1 to 4.

If the flashing button is pressed, it lights steadily, and the effect turns OFF.

When power is first turned on, all effects default to OFF (indicators are lighted).

4. FILTER

The filter frequency is shifted, resulting in strong changes to the tone.

Rotating the dial to the right produces high-pass filter effects, while rotating the dial to the left produces low-pass filter effects.

2.Use the sound-color effect parameter dial (COLOR) to adjust the quantitative parameter for the effect.

The parameter can be adjusted independently for each channel.

The color of the harmonic indicator changes to indicate the condition of the harmonic effect.

Red: Deviation from frequency of key scale has been detected.

Green: Matches frequency of key scale.

Not lighted: Currently detecting deviation from frequency of key scale.
