Effect related

When a VS8F-1 effect expansion board is installed, a single VS-880 now allows you to use two stereo effects.

Please read the VS8F-1 ownerÕs manual together with this explanation.

■Newly added preset patches

(newly added)	Preset B00ÐB99
User 001Ð100	User U00ÐU99

■Newly added algorithms

The following effect algorithms have been added.

Reverb 2 (p.23)

Space Chorus (p.24)

Lo-Fi Processor (p.25)

4-Band Parametric Equalizer (p.26)

10-Band Graphic Equalizer (p.27)

Vocal Canceller (p.28)

Vocoder 2 (p.29)

Voice Transformer (p.30)

Mic Simulator (p.32)

●Reverb 2

This is a reverb that provides a gating function and a duck- ing function. It can be used in either EFFECT-1 or EFFECT-

2.You can use two reverbs with different settings, or use it in combination with a previous reverb.

Mode	Gate, Ducking
Thresh	0Ð100
Attack	1Ð100
Release	1Ð100
HoldTime	1Ð100

Reverb

Turn reverb on/off. When turned off, the following items will not be displayed.

Type (Reverb Type)

Select the type of reverb.

Room1: Normal room reverb.

Room2: Room reverb with a softer tone than Room1.

Hall1: Normal hall reverb.

Hall2: Hall reverb with a softer tone than Hall1.

Plate: Plate reverb.

Time

Adjust the length (time) of the reverberation.

PreDLY (Pre delay)

Adjust the time until the reverb is output.

Density

Adjust the density of the reverb.

HPF (High pass filter)

Adjust the frequency at which the high pass filter will begin to take effect. With a setting of Thru, the high pass filter will not function.

LPF (Low pass filter)

Adjust the frequency at which the low pass filter will begin to take effect. With a setting of Thru, the low pass filter will not function.

EFLevel (Effect level)

Adjust the volume of the reverb.

DiLevel (Direct level)

Input L Direct Level

Reverb

Input R Direct Level

Equalizer

Output L

Output R

Adjust the volume of the direct sound.

Gate

Turn the gate function on/off. When this is off, the follow- ing items will not be displayed.

Mode (Gate mode)

Select the way in which the gate function will operate.

Gate: The gate will begin to open when the direct signal level exceeds the threshold level, and will begin to close when it falls below the

threshold level.

Ducking: The function will be the opposite of the Gate setting. The gate will begin to close when the direct signal level exceeds the threshold level, and will begin to open when it falls below the threshold level.

Thresh (Threshold)

Adjust the basic level at which opening and closing of the gate will be controlled.
