Insert Effect Parameter Functions

Voice Transformer

This controls the formants, allowing a variety of voice characters to be created. This adds two voice characters with differing formants to the direct sound.

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the voice transformer effect on/off.

Formant1 -100– +100

Adjust the formant of the voice character 1.

Formant2 -100– +100

Adjust the formant of the voice character 2.

FX1 Level 0–100

Adjust the volume of the voice character 1.

FX2 Level 0–100

Adjust the volume of the voice character 2.

Dir Level 0–100

Adjust the volume of the direct sound.

Wah

The wah effect creates a unique tone by changing the frequency response characteristics of a filter.

Touch wah creates an automatic wah by changing the filter in response to the volume of the input. Pedal wah lets you use an Expression pedal or the like to obtain real-time control of the wah effect.

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

COSM GTR AMP	COSM BASS AMP
COSM COMP GTR	COSM COMP BSS
BASS MULTI	STEREO MULTI
On/Off	OFF, ON

Turns the touch wah/pedal wah effect on/off.

Type

Selects either touch wah “TOUCH” or pedal wah “PEDAL.”

TOUCH:

The effect will function as a touch wah.

PEDAL:

The effect will function as a pedal wah.

■When “TOUCH” is selected

Polarity

Selection for the direction in which the filter will change in response to the input.

UP:

The frequency of the filter will rise.

DOWN:

The frequency of the filter will fall.

Sens 0–100

This adjusts the sensitivity at which the filter will change in the direction determined by the polarity setting. Higher values will result in a stronger response. With a setting of “0,” the strength of picking will have no effect.

Frequency 0–100

This adjusts the center frequency of the Wah effect.

Peak 0–100

This adjusts the amount of wah effect applied. Lower values provide a mild wah effect, while higher values result in a sharper wah sound. With a value of “50” a standard wah sound will be produced.

Level 0–100

Adjusts the volume.

■When “PEDAL” is selected

The effect of the wah pedal can be obtained by operating the Expression pedal.

For a detailed explanation, refer to “When using an expression pedal” (p. 136).

Peak 0–100

This adjusts the amount of wah effect applied. Lower values provide a mild wah effect, while higher values result in a sharper wah sound. With a value of “50” a standard wah sound will be produced.

Level 0–100

Adjusts the volume.
