Roland GW-8 , 55: TAPE ECHO, 57: LOFI COMPRESS , 56: LOFI NOISE, ,

Effects List

A virtual tape echo that produces a realistic tape delay sound. This

simulates the tape echo section of a Roland RE-201 Space Echo.

fig.MFX-55

In addition to a lo-fi effect, this adds various types of noise such as

white noise and disc noise.

fig.MFX-56

This is an effect that intentionally degrades the sound quality for

creative purposes.

55: TAPE ECHO

Parameter Value Description

Mode

S, M, L, S+M,

S+L, M+L,

S+M+L

Combination of playback heads to use

Select from three different heads with dif-

ferent delay times.

short,

middle,

long

Repeat Rate

0–127

Tape speed

Increasing this value will shorten the spac-

ing of the delayed sounds.

Intensity

0–127 Amount of delay repeats

Bass

-15– +15 dB

Boost/cut for the lower range of the echo sound

Treble

-15– +15 dB

Boost/cut for the upper range of the echo sound

Head S Pan

L64–63R Independent panning for the short, middle,

and long playback heads

Head M Pan

Head L Pan

Tape Distortion

0–5

Amount of tape-dependent distortion to be

added

This simulates the slight tonal changes

that can be detected by signal-analysis

equipment. Increasing this value will in-

crease the distortion.

Wow/Flutter

Rate

0–127

Speed of wow/flutter (complex variation in

pitch caused by tape wear and rotational ir-

regularity)

Wow/Flutter

Depth

0–127 Depth of wow/flutter

Echo Level

0–127 Volume of the echo sound

Direct Level

0–127 Volume of the original sound

Level

0–127 Output level

56: LOFI NOISE

Parameter Value Description

Degrades the sound quality. The sound quali-

ty grows poorer as this value is increased.

Filter Type

Type of record noise

The frequency at which the noise is heard

depends on the selected type.

Disc Noise

LPF

200–8000 Hz,

BYPASS

Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low pass

filter applied to the record noise. If you don’t

want to filter out any high frequencies, set

this parameter to BYPASS.
