Effects List

Parameter	Value	Description
Total Noise	0–127	Total noise level.
Scratch	0–127	Scratches on the record.
Dust	0–127	Dust on the record.
Hiss	0–127	Continuous hissing noise.
		These settings add the typical
		record’s noise. The noises increase
		as the values are raised. Set each of
		the Scratch, Dust, and Hiss noise
		levels to get a balance, the adjust
		the overall amount of noise with
		the Total Noise Level control.
Total Wow/	0–127	Total wow and flutter.
Flutter
Wow	0–127	Wow, long cycle rotational irregu-
		larity.
Flutter	0–127	Flutter, short cycle rotational ir-
		regularity.
Random	0–127	Random rotational irregularity.
		These settings determine the rota-
		tional irregularities of the record
		player. Set each of the Wow, Flut-
		ter, and Random levels to get a
		balance, the adjust the overall
		depth of the effect with the Total
		Wow/Flutter control.
Balance	DRY100:0WET–	Volume balance between the di-
	DRY0:100WET	rect sound (DRY) and the effect
		sound (WET)

39: Radio Tuning

This effect reproduces the sound of an AM radio playing.

Parameter	Value	Description
Tuning	-50– +50	Adjusts the degree of noise that oc-
		curs when tuning a radio.
Noise Level	0–127	Sets the noise level.
Frequency	0–127	Sets the frequency response of the
Range		radio.
		Lowering the value worsens the
		frequency characteristics, making
		the sound appear to be coming
		from a tiny radio speaker.
Balance	DRY100:0WET–	Volume balance between the direct
	DRY0:100WET	sound (DRY) and the effect sound
		(WET)

40: Bit Rate Converter

By changing the bit count and sample rate, this effect recreates the Lo-Fi (Low-Fidelity) sounds of the early digital samplers and similar machines. After the Lo-Fi processor, a filter to change the tone is arranged in series.

Parameter	Value	Description
Pre Filter	OFF, ON	This is the switch of the filter placed
Sw		before the Lo-Fi processing
Sample	1/1, 1/2, 1/4,	Sets the fraction of current sampling
Rate	1/8, 1/16, 1/32	rates to be used for processing.

Parameter	Value			Description
Bit Down	0–15			This setting is for reducing the bit
				count.
Post Filter	OFF, ON			This is the switch of the filter placed
Sw				after the Lo-Fi processing.
Balance	DRY100:0WET–			Volume balance between the direct
	DRY0:100WET			sound (DRY) and the effect sound
				(WET)
Filter Type	Type of filter
	THRU: no filter is used
	LPF: Passes frequencies below the Cutoff.
	BPF: Passes frequencies near the Cutoff.
	HPF: Passes frequencies above the Cutoff.
	NOTCH: Passes frequencies other than those near the
	Cutoff.
		Level		Level

			Freq.		Freq.
		BPF		NOTCH
Filter Slope	-12, -24 dB/O			Filter’s attenuation slope
				-24 dB per octave: steep
				-12 dB per octave: gentle
Filter Cut-	0–127			Cutoff frequency of the filter
off				The closer to zero it is set, the lower
				the cutoff frequency becomes; set it
				closer to 127, and the cutoff fre-
				quency becomes higher.
Filter Reso-	0–127			Resonance level of the filter
nance				Raising the setting increases reso-
				nance near the cutoff frequency,
				giving the sound a special charac-
				teristic.
Filter Gain	0– +24 dB			Compensates for the volume
				dropped in the cut frequency range
				with some filters.
				The level of compensation increases
				as the value is increased, and raise
				the volume.

41: Pseudo Stereo

Spreads the components of the monaural input sound to left and right, creating an artificial sense of stereo output.

Parameter	Value	Description
Depth	0–15	Spaciousness of the sound field
