10: LIMITER

The limiter compresses signals that exceed a specified volume level,

preventing distortion from occurring.

Parameter	Value			Description
Threshold	0–127			Adjusts the volume at which
				compression will begin.
Release	0–127			Adjusts the time from when the
				volume falls below the Thresh-
				old Level until compression is
				no longer applied.
Ratio	1.5:1, 2:1, 4:1,			Adjusts the compression ratio.
	100:1
Pan #	L64–63R			Adjusts the stereo location of the
				output sound.L64 is far left, 0 is
				center, and 63R is far right.
Post Gain	0, +6, +12, +18			Adjusts the output gain.
	[dB]
Low Gain	-15– +15 [dB]			Adjusts the gain of the low fre-
				quency.
High Gain	-15– +15 [dB]			Adjusts the gain of the high fre-
				quency.
Level #	0–127			Adjusts the output level.

11: HEXA-CHORUS

Hexa-chorus uses a six-phase chorus (six layers of chorused sound) to give richness and spatial spread to the sound.

Parameter	Value	Description
Pre Delay	0.0–100 [ms]	Adjusts the time delay from
		when the direct sound begins
		until the chorus sound is heard.
Rate #	0.05–10.00 [Hz]	Adjusts the rate of modulation.
Depth	0–127	Adjusts the depth of modula-
		tion.
Pre Delay Dev	0–20	Pre Delay Deviation adjusts the
		differences in Pre Delay be-
		tween each chorus sound.
		Pre Delay determines the time
		from when the direct sound be-
		gins until the processed sound is
		heard.
Depth Dev	-20– +20	Adjusts the difference in modu-
		lation depth between each cho-
		rus sound.

Parameter	Value	Description
Pan Dev	0–20	Adjusts the difference in stereo
		location between each chorus
		sound.
		With a setting of 0, all chorus
		sounds will be in the center. With
		a setting of 20, each chorus sound
		will be spaced at 60 degree inter-
		vals relative to the center.
Balance #	D100:0W–	Adjusts the volume balance be-
	D0:100W	tween the direct sound and the
		chorus sound.
		With a setting of D100:0W only the
		direct sound will be output, and
		with a setting of D0:100W only the
		chorus sound will be output.
Level	0–127	Adjusts the output level.

12: TREMOLO CHO (Tremolo Chorus)

Tremolo chorus is a chorus effect with added tremolo (cyclic

modulation of volume).

Balance #		D100:0W–	Adjusts the volume balance be-
		D0:100W	tween the direct sound and the
			tremolo chorus sound.
			With a setting of D100:0W only
			the direct sound will be output,
			and with a setting of D0:100W
			only the tremolo chorus sound
			will be output.
Level		0–127	Adjusts the output level.
