Trem Rate

0.05–10.0

Frequency of modulation

 

Hz, note

 

Trem Depth

0–127

Depth of modulation

37: Keyboard Multi

A ring modulator, 3-band equalizer, pitch shifter, phaser, and delay are connected in series.

Ring Modulator is an effect which applies ring modulation using an internal oscillator to the input signal, producing bell- like sounds.

Parameter

Value

Description

 

 

 

Ring Freq

0–127

Frequency at which modulation

 

 

will be applied

Ring Balance

DRY100:0WET–

Volume balance between the di-

 

DRY0:100WET

rect sound (DRY) and the ring

 

 

modulated sound (WET)

EQ Low Freq

50–4000 Hz

Frequency of the low range

EQ Low Gain

-15– +15 dB

Gain of the low range

EQ Mid Freq

50–20000 Hz

Frequency of the middle range

EQ Mid Q

0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 2.0,

Gain of the middle range

 

4.0, 8.0

Set a higher value for Q to nar-

 

 

row the range to be affected.

EQ Mid Gain

-15– +15 dB

Gain of the middle range

EQ Hi Freq

2000–20000 Hz

Frequency of the high range

EQ Hi Gain

-15– +15 dB

Gain of the high range

PS Grade

1–5

Sets the grade of the effect sound.

 

 

The higher the value is set, the

 

 

more natural-sounding can be

 

 

obtained; however, this increases

 

 

the delay from the source sound

 

 

as well.

PS Coarse

-12– +12

Specifies the pitch shift amount

 

semitone

in semitone steps.

PS Fine

-100– +100 cent

Adjusts the pitch shift amount in

 

 

2-cent steps (1 cent = 1/100 of a

 

 

semitone).

PS Balance

DRY100:0WET–

Volume balance between the di-

 

DRY0:100WET

rect sound (DRY) and the effect

 

 

sound (WET)

Phaser Man-

0–127

Specifies the center frequency at

ual

 

which the sound is modulated.

Parameter

Value

Description

 

 

 

Phaser Rate

0.05–10.0 Hz,

Specifies the frequency of modu-

 

note

lation.

Phaser Depth

0–127

Specifies the depth of modula-

 

 

tion.

Phaser Reso-

0–127

Specifies the amount of feedback

nance

 

for the phaser.

 

 

Higher settings will give the

 

 

sound a stronger character.

Phaser Mix

0–127

Specifies the volume of the

Level

 

phase-shifted sound, relative to

 

 

the direct sound.

Delay Time

0–650 ms, note

Adjusts the delay time from the

 

 

direct sound until the delay

 

 

sound is heard.

Delay Feed-

-98– +98 %

Adjusts the proportion of the de-

back

 

lay sound that is fed back into the

 

 

effect. Negative (-) settings will

 

 

invert the phase.

Low Damp

50–4000 Hz

Adjusts the frequency below

Freq

 

which sound fed back to the ef-

 

 

fect will be cut.

 

 

The Low Damp function damps

 

 

the low frequency band of the

 

 

delay sound quicker than other

 

 

bands, which makes for a clearer

 

 

delay effect.

Low Damp

-36–0 dB

Degree of Low Damp

Gain

 

 

Hi Damp

2000–20000 Hz

Adjusts the frequency above

Freq

 

which sound fed back to the ef-

 

 

fect will be cut.

 

 

High Damp, by attenuating the

 

 

higher frequencies first, makes

 

 

the delay sound more natural.

Hi Damp

-36–0 dB

Degree of High Damp

Gain

 

 

Delay Level

0–127

Volume of the delay sound.

38: Phonograph

This effect reproduces the sound of an analog record played on a record player. This includes the various noises with the characteristic of records and the uneven rotation of older turntables.

Parameter

Value

Description

 

 

 

Input Mode

MONO, STE-

Use this setting to select either a

 

REO

stereo or monaural record player

 

 

for the effect.

Signal Dist

0–127

Degree of distortion

Frequency

0–127

Sets the frequency response of the

Range

 

record player.

 

 

Lowering the value degrades the

 

 

frequency characteristics, making

 

 

the sound resemble that from an

 

 

older system.

Disk Type

LP, EP, SP

Sets the turntable rotation speed.

 

 

LP: 33 1/3 r.p.m.

 

 

EP: 45 r.p.m.

 

 

SP: 78 r.p.m.
