forefront.

 

On/Off

 

Adjusts the volume of the defretter sound.

 

OFF, ON

This parameter turns the enhancer effect on/off.

Delay

This creates a thicker sound by applying a delayed sound to the direct sound.

On/Off

OFF, ON

This parameter turns the delay effect on/off.

Type

This Parameter selects the type of delay.

SINGLE:

This is a simple delay.

TAP:

The delayed sound is panned across the left and right channels. This will be effective when stereo recording.

Dly Tme

SINGLE: 1–1400 ms, TAP: 1–700 ms

This parameter adjusts the delay time (i.e., the interval for which sound is delayed).

Feedback

0–100

This parameter adjusts the amount of feedback. Changing the amount of feedback causes the number of time the delayed sound is repeated to change as well.

E.Level

0–120

Adjusts the volume of the delay sound.

Doubling

By adding a slightly time-delayed sound to the direct sound, this produces the impression that multiple sources are sounding together (a “doubling” effect). Best results will be achieved when stereo recording.

*This effect can be used when the MODULATION “Type” parameter is set to “DOUBLING.”

On/Off

OFF, ON

This parameter turns the doubling effect on/off.

Dly Tme

0.5–50.0 ms

This parameter adjusts the delay time (i.e., the interval for which sound is delayed).

Separation

-50– +50

Adjusts the diffusion. The panning of the direct sound and effect sound can be spread to left and right.

*This effect is obtained with stereo recording (using two tracks).

E.Level

0–120

This adjusts the volume of the delay sound.

Sens

0–100

Adjusts the manner in which the enhancer will be applied relative to the input signals.

Freq

1.0–10.0 kHz

Adjusts the frequency at which the enhancer effect will begin to be applied. The effect will be made apparent in the frequencies above the frequency set here.

Mix Level

0–100

Adjusts the amount of phase-shifted sound of the range set by “Frequency” that is to be mixed with the input.

Lo Mix Lvl

0–100

Adjusts the amount of phase-shifted sound of the lower range that is to be mixed with the input. The frequency range in which the effect is applied is fixed.

Level

0–100

Adjusts the volume of the enhanced sound.

Equalizer

A 4-band equalizer.

*You can use this effect with the following algorithms when “4BAND EQ” is selected for the 4BAND EEQ/WAH “Type” setting.

COSM GTR AMP

COSM BASS AMP

COSM COMP GTR

COSM COMP BSS

BASS MULTI

STEREO MULTI

On/Off

OFF, ON

This parameter turns the equalizer effect on/off.

Low Gain

-20– +20 dB

This parameter sets the gain (amount of boost or cut) for the bass equalizer.

Lo-M Gin

-20– +20 dB

This parameter sets the gain (amount of boost or cut) for the low- midrange equalizer.

Lo-M F

100 Hz–10.0 kHz

This parameter sets the central frequency for the low-midrange equalizer.

Lo-M Q

0.5–16

This parameter sets the range of change in gain for the frequency set by “Lo-M F.” A larger value results in a narrower range of change.

Hi-M Gin

-20– +20 dB

This parameter sets the gain (amount of boost or cut) for the high- midrange equalizer.
