■TECH

This effect radically changes the tonal characteristics by using a filter and modulation.

Effect Type	VAR	INS	MEF	Description
				An effect that modifies the
RING	✔	✔	✔	pitch by applying amplitude
MODULATOR				modulation to the frequency of
				the input.
DYNAMIC			–	Dynamically controlled ring
RING	✔	✔
				modulation.
MODULATOR
DYNAMIC	✔	✔	✔	Dynamically controlled filter.
FILTER
AUTO SYNTH	✔	✔	–	Processes the input signal into

REV-X

REV-X is a reverb algorithm developed by Yamaha. It provides high-density, richly reverberant sound quality, with smooth attenuation, spread and depth that work together to enhance the original sound. The DTXTREME III features two types of REV-X effects: REV-X Hall and REV-X Room.

Effect Parameters

Each of the Effect Types has parameters that determine how the Effect is applied to the sound. A variety of sounds can be obtained from a single effect type by setting these parameters. For information about the Effect parameters, see below.

■Preset settings for Effect parameters

Preset settings for parameters of each effect type are provided as templates and can be selected in the Effect Type selection display. To get a desired effect sound, try first selecting one of the Presets close to your imagined sound, then change the parameters as necessary.

■Effect parameters

NOTE

•Some parameters below may appear in different effect types with the same name, but actually have different functions depending on the partic- ular effect type. For these parameters, two or three types of explanations are given.

Paramater	Descriptions
name
AEGPhs	Offsets the phase of the AEG.
AMDepth	Determines the depth of the amplitude modulation.
AMInvR	Determines the phase of the amplitude modulation
	for the R channel.
AmpType	Selects the amplifier type to be simulated.
AMSpeed	Determines the amplitude modulation speed.
AMWave	Determines the wave of the amplitude modulation.
Analog	Adds the characteristics of an analog flanger to the
	sound.
	Determines the amount of time that elapses between
AtkOfst	the hitting of a pad (or playing of a key) and the start
	of the wah effect.
AtkTime	Determines the attack time of the envelope follower.
	Determines the amount of time that elapses between
Attack	the hitting of a pad (or playing of a key) and the start
	of the compressor effect.
	Determines the degree to which the Word Length is
BitAsgn	applied to the sound, and affects the resolution of the
	sound.
Bottom*1	Determines the minimum value of the wah filter.
ClickDensity	Determines the frequency at which the click sounds.
ClickLvl	Determines the click level.
Color*2	Determines the fixed phase modulation.
	This is one of the Multi Band Comp parameters and
CommonRel	determines the amount of time that elapses between
	the releasing of a note and the end of the effect.
Compres	Determines the minimum input level at which the
	compressor effect is applied.
	This one of the Control Delay parameters. When set
	to “Normal,” the delay effect is always applied to the
CtrType	sound. When set to “Scratch,” the delay effect is not
	applied if both the Delay Time and Delay Time Offset
	are set to “0.”
Decay	Controls how the reverb sound decays.
	[For TEMPO DELAY MONO, TEMPO DELAY STE-
	REO]
	Determines the delay of the sound in note value. This
Delay	helps in setting rhythmic delays that match the timing
	of the music.
	[For TEC effects, CONTROL DELAY]
	Determines the delay time.
