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

One hundred preset patches have been added to the effect patches. Refer to the included ÒPreset Patch List.Ó

Due to the increased number of preset patches, the patch numbers have changed as follows.

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.

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.

Adjust the volume of the reverb.

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.
