Chapter 2 Using the XV-5080 Effects

57:GATE

The Gate effect cuts the reverb’s delay according to the volume of the sound input to the effects device. Use this in situations such as when you want to force a decrease in the decay sound.

Gate

Mode

GATE (Gate Reverb):

When the source volume falls below a certain level, the gate closes, giving the effect of the reverb sound being cut with a gate reverb.

DUCK (Ducking Reverb):

When the source volume gets high enough, the gate closes, which gives a ducking reverb-type effect. Stop the reverb sound only when input loud sound so that prevent the play sound become unclear.

Attack Time

Sets the time it takes the gate fully opens after being triggered.

Hold Time

Sets the time it takes the gate starts closing after the instant the source sound goes under the threshold level.

Release Time

Sets the time it takes the gate fully closes after passes by the hold time.

Gate Key

Key

Selects the input of the sound that acts as the trigger closing the gate.

When set to SOURCE, the gate is closed by the sound input to the Multi-effects.

Threshold (Key Threshold)

Sets the volume level at which the gate begins to close.

Moniter (Key Monitor)

Determines whether the sound used as the gate trigger is output (ON) or not (OFF).

Balance

Balance (Effect Balance) #

Sets the volume balance between the source sound and the effect sound.

With a setting of D100:0W only the direct sound will be output, and with a setting of D0:100W only the effect sound will be output.

Output

Level (Output Level)

Adjust the output level.

58:SLICER

By applying successive cuts to the sound, this effect turns a conventional sound into a sound that appears to be played as a backing phrase. This is especially effective when applied to sustain-type sounds.

Level 1–4

Beat 1–4

For a single measure containing four quarter notes, this sets the level of each sixteenth-note when the measure is divided into sixteenth notes. When set to 0, no sound is output.

Rate

Rate #

Determines the cycle for one measure.

Attack

Attack

Sets the speed at which the volume changes between beats. The higher the value, the faster the volume changes.

Reset

Trigger #

Selects the input of the sound that acts as the trigger resetting the one-measure pattern.

When set to OFF, the pattern is not reset, even if the input is present. When set to Source, the pattern is reset by the sound input to the multi-effects. When RESET is selected as the MFX Control parameter, you can then use an external MIDI device to reset the pattern.
