Adding effects

43: SLICER

By applying successive cuts to the sound, this effect produces what are heard as backing phrases, even though you’ve played something much simpler. This is especially effective when applied to sustain- type sounds.

Parameter	Value	Description
Timing Pattern	1–34	Selects a pattern to specify the
		timing at which the sound will
		be cut.
Accent Pattern	1–16	Specifies the location of the ac-
		cents.
Accent Level #	0–127	Adjusts the volume of the ac-
		cents.
		As this setting is increased, the
		accent will be more pronounced.
Attack	0–127	Adjusts the attack time of an in-
		put sound.
		As this setting is increased, the
		attack will become faster.
Rate #	0.05–10.00 [Hz],	This sets the period for the pat-
	note *2	tern.
Reset	OFF, ON	Specifies whether the timing
		pattern at which the sound is cut
		will be reset (ON) or not (OFF)
		when you play a sound.
		While the rhythm guide is play-
		ing, the period for the pattern is
		not reset even if you set this ON.
Level	0–127	Adjusts the output level.

44: TREMOLO

Tremolo cyclically modulates the volume to add tremolo effect to the

sound.

Parameter		Value		Description
Mod Wave		TRI, SQR, SIN,		TRI: The sound will be modulat-
		SAW1/ 2		ed like a triangle wave.
				SQR: The sound will be modu-
				lated like a square wave.
				SIN: The sound will be modulat-
				ed like a sine wave.
				SAW1/2: The sound will be
				modulated like a sawtooth
				wave. The teeth in SAW1 and
				SAW2 point at opposite direc-
				tions.

Parameter	Value	Description
Rate #	0.05–10.00 [Hz],	Adjusts the frequency (speed) of
	note *2	the change.
Depth #	0–127	Sets the depth to which the ef-
		fect is applied.
Reset	OFF, ON	This setting determines whether
		the period for the pattern is reset
		(ON), or not (OFF) when sounds
		are played.
		While the rhythm guide is play-
		ing, the period for the pattern is
		not reset even if you set this ON.

		quency.
Level	0–127	Adjusts the output level.

45: AUTO PAN
