Effects/Parameter List

21: TIME CTRL DLY (Time Control Delay)

This effect allows you to use the MFX [CONTROL] knob on the Synth section to control the delay time and pitch in realtime. Lengthening the delay will lower the pitch, and shortening it will raise the pitch.

Parameter

Value

Explanation

 

 

 

Delay #

200–1000 ms

Adjusts the delay time from the di-

 

 

rect sound until the delay sound is

 

 

heard.

Accel

0–15

Adjusts the time over which the

 

 

Delay Time will change from the

 

 

current setting to a newly specified

 

 

setting.

 

 

The rate of change for the Delay

 

 

Time directly affects the rate of

 

 

pitch change.

Feedback #

-98–+98%

Adjusts the proportion of the delay

 

 

sound that is fed back into the ef-

 

 

fect. Negative (-) settings will in-

 

 

vert the phase.

HF Damp

200–8000 Hz,

Adjusts the frequency above

 

BYPASS

which sound fed back to the effect

 

 

will be cut. If you do not want to

 

 

cut the high frequencies, set this

 

 

parameter to BYPASS.

High Gain

-15–+15 dB

Feedback #

-98–+98%

Adjusts the proportion of the pitch

 

 

shifted sound that is fed back into

 

 

the effect. Negative (-) settings will

 

 

invert the phase.

Pre Delay

0.0–500.0 ms

Adjusts the delay time from the di-

 

 

rect sound until the pitch shifted

 

 

sound is heard.

sound (W)

Level

0–127

Output Level

24: REVERB

Adds reverberation to the sound, simulating an acoustic space.

22: 2V PCH SHIFT (2-voice Pitch Shifter)

Shifts the pitch of the original sound. This 2-voice pitch shifter has two pitch shifters, and can add two pitch shifted sounds to the original sound.

Parameter

Value

Explanation

 

 

 

Coarse A #1

-24–+12 semi

semitone steps.

Fine A #1

-100–+100 cent

Adjusts the pitch of Pitch Shift A in

 

 

2-cent steps.

Pan A

PreDelayA

0.0–500 ms

Adjusts the delay time from the di-

 

 

rect sound until the Pitch Shift A

 

 

sound is heard.

Coarse B #2

-24–+12 semi

Settings of the Pitch Shift B sound

Fine B #2

-100–+100 cent

The parameters are the same as

Pan B

L64–63R

for the Pitch Shift A sound.

PreDelayB

0.0–500.0 ms

 

Mode

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Setting a higher value for this pa-

 

 

rameter will result in slower re-

 

 

sponse, but steadier pitch.

A100:0B–A0:100B

Volume balance between the Pitch

 

 

Shift A and Pitch Shift B sounds

Balance

D100:0W–D0:100W
