Chapter 2. Using Effects

5. PHASER

★

(S/R = ON) DEPTH/RESONANCE (d-r)

★

RATE (rAt) BALANCE (bAL)

Adds modulation to the sound.

When Send/Return mode is on:

Adjusts both DEPTH and RESO-

NANCE simultaneously.

Adjusts the rate of modulation. Adjusts the volume balance be-

tween the direct sound and effect

sound.

(S/R = OFF) DEPTH/MANUAL (dPt) RATE (rAt) RESONANCE (rES)

★

When Send/Return mode is off: Adjusts the depth of modulation.

If the CTRL 2 knob (RATE) is

turned all the way to the left, this

knob adjusts the pitch (MANU-

AL).

Adjusts the rate of modulation. If

this knob is turned all the way to

the left, the modulation will stop,

and the CTRL 1 knob (DEPTH)

will adjust the pitch (MANUAL).

Gives a distinctive character to

the sound.

6. TREMOLO/PAN DEPTH (dPt) RATE (rAt) WAVEFORM (trM/PAn)

Cyclically varies the volume or

pan.

Adjusts the amount of volume/

pan change.

Adjusts the speed of volume/

pan change.

Changes the type of curve by

which the volume or pan will

change cyclically. Turn the knob

toward the left for volume

change, or toward the right for

pan change.

8. OVERDRIVE

★

DRIVE (drV)

★

LEVEL (LEV)

★

Mildly distorts the sound. Adjusts the amount of distortion. Adjusts the tone. Adjusts the volume.

9. FUZZ

★

DRIVE (drV)

★

TONE (ton)

★

LEVEL (LEV)

★

distort it intensely.

Adjusts the amount of distortion. Adjusts the tone. Adjusts the volume.

10. WAH

★

SENS (SnS) FREQUENCY (Frq) RESONANCE (rES)

★

Creates a wah effect. Adjusts the sensitivity of the wah

effect.

Adjusts the pitch of the effect

sound.

Adjusts the peak amount of the

wah.

11. OCTAVE -2OCT LEVEL (oC2) -1OCT LEVEL (oC1) DIRECT LEVEL (dir)

Adds a lower pitch at octave in-

tervals.

Adds a pitch two octaves below. Adds a pitch one octave below. Adjusts the volume of the direct

sound.

12. COMP

★

(LIMIT = OFF) SUSTAIN (SuS) ATTACK (Att) LEVEL (LEV)

★

Makes the volume more consis-

tent.

When Effect Limit mode is off:

Adjusts the amount of compres-

sion.

Adjusts the sense of attack. Adjusts the volume.

(LIMIT = ON) SUSTAIN (SuS) RELEASE (rEL) LEVEL (LEV)

★

When Effect Limit mode is on: Adjusts the amount of compres-

sion.

Adjusts the sense of release. Adjusts the volume.

13. EQUALIZER

★

LOW (Lo)

★

MID (Mid)

★

HIGH (Hi)

★

Adjusts the volume of each fre-

quency range.

Adjusts the volume of the low-

frequency range.

Adjusts the volume of the mid-

frequency range.

Adjusts the volume of the high-

frequency range.

14. LO-Fi

★

SAMPLE RATE (rAt) BIT (bit)

★

FILTER (FLt)

Gives the sound a low-fidelity

character.

Adjusts the sampling frequency. Adjusts the bit depth. Adjusts the filter depth.

15. NOISE GEN

★

COLOR (CoL) QUALITY (qLt)

★

LEVEL (LEV)

★

Creates noise. Adjusts the tone of the “shhh”

noise.

Adjusts how often scratch noise

(typical of an analog record) will

be heard.

Adjusts the level of the “shhh”

noise.

16. RADIO TUNING TUNING (tun) NOISE LEVEL (noS) FREQUENCY RANGE (Frq)

Simulates the sound heard from

a radio.

Adjusts the tuning drift of a ra-

dio.

Adjusts the volume of the noise. Adjusts the tonal character.

17. SLICER

★

TIMING PTN (P01–16) RATE (t1–t8) FEEDBACK (Fdb)

★

Repetitively cuts the sound. A

flanger is also applied.

Specifies the timing at which the

sound is cut. (

)

Adjusts the length of TIMING

PTN. (

)

Adjusts the depth of the flanger.

18. RING MOD

★

★

BALANCE (bAL)

Gives a metallic character to the

sound.

Adjusts the pitch of the metallic

sound.

Adjusts the depth of frequency

modulation.

Adjusts the volume balance of

the direct sound and effect

sound.

19. CHROMATIC PS PITCH 1 (-C–CC) PITCH 2 (-C–CC) BALANCE (bAL)

This is a two-voice pitch shifter

that changes the pitch in semi-

tone steps.

Adjusts Pitch 1 in semitone steps

over a +/-1 octave range.

Adjusts Pitch 2 in semitone steps

over a +/-1 octave range.

Adjusts the volume balance of

the direct sound and effect

sound.
