Chapter 2 Using the XV-5080 Effects

87: ISOLATOR 2

This adds a filter to the ISOLATOR effect. Isolator is an equalizer which cuts the volume greatly, allowing you to add a special effect to the sound by cutting the volume in varying ranges.

Boost/Cut

Low (Level Low) #

Mid (Level Middle) #

High (Level High) #

These boost and cut the High, Middle, and Low frequency ranges. At -60 dB, the sound becomes inaudible. 0 dB is equivalent to the input level of the sound.

Anti Phase Low

Anti Phase Low Sw (Anti Phase Low Switch)

Anti Phase Low Level

Anti Phase Mid

Switch (Anti Phase Middle Switch)

Level (Anti Phase Middle Level)

This turns the Anti-Phase function on and off and sets the level settings for the Middle and Low frequency ranges. When turned on, the phases of opposite stereo channels are reversed and then added. Adjusting these levels for certain frequencies allows you to lend emphasis to specific parts. (This is effective only for stereo sources.)

Post Filter

Switch (Filter Switch)

Turns the filter on/off.

Type (Filter Type)

Selects the type of filter.

LPF:	Passes frequencies below the cutoff frequency.
BPF:	Passes frequencies near the cutoff frequency.
HPF:	Passes frequencies above the cutoff frequency.
NOTCH:	Passes frequencies other than those near the

cutoff frequency.

Cutoff (Filter Cutoff Frequency)

Sets the filter’s cutoff frequency. The closer to zero it is set, the lower the cutoff frequency becomes; set it closer to 127, and the cutoff frequency becomes higher.

Resonance (Filter Resonance)

Sets the filter’s resonance level. Raising the setting increases resonance near the cutoff frequency, producing a uniquely characteristic sound.

Slope (Filter Slope)

Sets the filter’s attenuation slope (-24 dB per octave: steep; -

12 dB per octave: gentle).

Gain (Filter Gain)

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.

Low Boost

Switch (Low Booster Switch)

Specifies whether Low Booster will be used (ON), or not (OFF). This emphasizes the bottom to create a heavy bass sound.

Level (Low Boost Level)

Increasing this value gives you a heavier low end. (Depending on the Isolator and filter settings this effect may be hard to distinguish.)

Output

Level (Output Level)

Adjusts the output level.

88: STEREO SPECTRUM

This is a stereo spectrum. Spectrum is a type of filter which modifies the timbre by boosting or cutting the level at specific frequencies.

L in Spectrum L out

R in Spectrum R out

Band Gain

250Hz (250Hz Gain)

Specifies the gain (amount of boost or cut) at 250 Hz.
