Multi-Effects List

26: COMPRESSOR

Flattens out high levels and boosts low levels, smoothing out

fluctuations in volume.

Parameter		Value		Description
Attack #1		0–127		Sets the speed at which compres-
				sion starts

Low Gain		-15– +15 dB		Gain of the low frequency range
High Gain		-15– +15 dB		Gain of the high frequency range
Level		0–127		Output level

27: LIMITER

Compresses signals that exceed a specified volume level, preventing

distortion from occurring.

R in					R out
	Limiter		2-Band EQ
Parameter		Value		Description
Release #1		0–127		Adjusts the time after the signal vol-
				ume falls below the Threshold Lev-
				el until compression is no longer
				applied.
Threshold		0–127		Adjusts the volume at which com-
#2				pression begins
Ratio		1.5:1, 2:1,		Compression ratio
		4:1,
		100:1
Post Gain		0, +6, +12,		Adjusts the output gain.
		+18 dB
Low Gain		-15– +15 dB		Gain of the low frequency range
High Gain		-15– +15 dB		Gain of the high frequency range
Level		0–127		Output level

28: SLICER

By applying successive cuts to the sound, this effect turns a conventional sound into a sound that appears to be played as a backing phrase. This is especially effective when applied to sustain- type sounds.

	Slicer
Parameter	Value	Description
Rate #1	0.05–	Cycle for one measure
	10.00 Hz,
	note
Attack #2	0–127	Speed at which the volume changes
		between beats
Input Sync	OFF, ON	Determines whether the LFO for
Sw		switching the vowels is reset by the
		input signal (ON) or not (OFF).
Input Sync	0–127	Volume level at which the reset be-
Threshold		gins
Mode	LEGATO,	Sets the manner in which the vol-
	SLASH	ume changes as one beat progresses
		to the next.
		LEGATO: The change in volume
		from one beat’s level to the next
		remains unaltered. If the level of
		a following beat is the same as the
		one preceding it, there is no
		change in volume.
		SLASH: The level is momentari-
		ly set to 0 before progressing to
		the level of the next beat. This
		change in volume occurs even if
		the level of the following beat is
		the same as the preceding beat.
Shuffle	0–127	Timing of volume changes in levels
		for even-numbered Beats (Beat 1-2/
		Beat 1-4/Beat 2-2/...).
		The higher the value, the later the
		beat progresses.
Level	0–127	Output level
Beat	0–127	For a single measure containing
1-1–4-4		four quarter notes, this sets the level
		of each sixteenth note when the
		measure is divided into sixteenth
		notes.
		* This can be set using the sliders of
		the part mixer.
