EFFECT FUNCTIONS

Using the Effect Functions

The basic procedures is as follows: [Select effect type] = [Set parameters (while monitoring through headphones] =[Set EFFECT switch to ON].

Below are examples of this basic operation procedure; other effects are produced in much the same way:

[Example 1] Apply delay to CH-1 track:

1.Touch the touch panel’s CH-1 (left side) DELAY button (select effect type).

• If the DELAY button is not displayed, select and display

the button as follows:

1Hold the CH-1 (left side) FADER CURVE/BANK EDIT button depressed for about 1 second to set the touch panel to the effect select menu.

2Of the touch panel’s three buttons, select (touch) the one in which you wish to record the DELAY.

3Rotate the TIME/SELECT dial to select DELAY.

4Press (touch) the MEMORY button.

5Press the FADER CURVE/BANK EDIT button to leave the effect select menu.

•If DELAY is preset in the BANK 1, 2, or 3 buttons, DELAY can be selected by pressing the corresponding button (see page 23 “Presetting Effects.”)

2.Press the CH-1 (left side) FX ADJ. button to display the effect parameter adjust menu on the touch panel.

3.Use the touch panel’s LOW, MID, and HI buttons to select the frequency ranges for the effect.

•The selected range button will appear highlighted.

*It may not be possible to select the frequency range, depending on the type of effect.

4.Press the touch panel’s 1/8 to 8/1 buttons as desired to select the delay time (parameter value setting).

• Set delay time of 1/8 to 8/1 for each beat of BPM.

• Set monitor SELECT switch to [EFFECT] to confirm the effect sound through the headphones (effects marked with the note *1 on the effects chart cannot be heard unless the EFFECT switch is set to [ON]).

• The TIME/SELECT dial can be rotated to produce even finer delay time settings. Setting delay time of 1/2 per beat of tempo (BPM) will cause the touch panel’s 1/2 button to be highlighted, and this can be used as a general reference when adjusting the parameter.

5.Use the MIX/DEPTH dial to set the level balance between sound source and delay sound.

• Rotate to left to reduce, and rotate to right to increase the delay sound.

6.Set EFFECT switch to [ON] or [LOCK ON].

• The EFFECT indicator will begin flashing red, and the effect (delay) will be applied to the master output.

• When the EFFECT switch is set to [ON] by pulling the switch forward, the switch will automatically return to [OFF] when released.

Note:

•Select effects only when the EFFECT switch is in the [OFF] position. If effects are selected when the EFFECT switch is in the [LOCK ON] position, noise may be produced.

[Example 2] Apply fader roll to CH-1 track

1.Touch the touch panel’s CH-1 (left side) FADER ROLL button (select effect type).

•If the FADER ROLL button is not displayed, select and display the button as follows:

1Hold the CH-1 (left side) FADER CURVE/BANK EDIT button depressed for about 1 second to set the touch panel to the effect select menu.

2Of the touch panel’s three buttons, select (touch) the one in which you wish to record the FADER ROLL.

3Rotate the TIME/SELECT dial to select FADER ROLL.

4Press (touch) the MEMORY button.

5Press the FADER CURVE/BANK EDIT button to leave the effect select menu.

•If FADER ROLL is preset in the BANK 1, 2, or 3 buttons, FADER ROLL can be selected by pressing the corresponding button (see page 23 “Presetting Effects.”)

2.Press the CH-1 (left side) FX ADJ. button to diplay the effect parameter adjust menu on the touch panel.

3.Use the touch panel’s LOW, MID, and HI buttons to select the frequency ranges for the effect.

•The selected range button will appear highlighted.

*It may not be possible to select the frequency range, depending on the type of effect.

4.Press the touch panel’s 1/2, 1/1, and 2/1 buttons as desired to select the roll time (parameter value setting).

• Standard roll times can be set as 1/2, 1/1, or 2/1.

• Set monitor SELECT switch to [EFFECT] to confirm the effect sound through the headphones (effects marked with the note *1 on the effects chart cannot be heard unless the EFFECT switch is set to [ON]).

• The TIME/SELECT dial can be rotated to produce even finer roll time settings. Setting roll time to 1/1 per beat of tempo (BPM) will cause the touch panel’s 1/1 button to be highlighted, and this can be used as a general reference when adjusting the parameter.

5.Use the MIX/DEPTH dial to set the roll sound level.

• Rotate to left to reduce, and rotate to right to increase the roll sound.

6.Use touch panel’s CROSS FADER button to select fader.

• The fader used for fader effects can be set to either channel fader or cross fader.

7.Set EFFECT switch to [ON] or [LOCK ON].

• The EFFECT indicator will begin flashing red, and the effect will be applied to the master output.

• When the EFFECT switch is set to [ON] by pulling the switch forward, the switch will automatically return to [OFF] when released.

Note:

•Make selection of effects and type of fader (channel or cross) only when the EFFECT switch is in the [OFF] position. If effects are selected when the EFFECT switch is in the [LOCK ON] position, noise may be produced.
