Effects Parameters

■COMP260

This effect emulates the characteristics of mid 70’s com-

pressors/limiters that are the standard for live SR. You can

control two monaural channels independently. You can

also link several parameters via stereo links.

■COMP260S

This effect emulates the characteristics of mid 70’s com-

pressors/limiters that are the standard for live SR. You can

link and control the L and R channel parameters.

■EQUALIZER601

This effect emulates the characteristics of 70’s analog

equalizers. Re-creating the distortion of typical analog cir-

cuits will add drive to the sound.

■OPENDECK

It emulates the tape compression created by two open reel

tape recorders (a recording deck and a playback deck.)

You can change the sound quality by adjusting various

elements, such as the deck type, tape quality, playback

speed, etc.

TYPE CLEAN, DRIVE
Selects the equalizer type. The
CLEAN equalizer provides
non-distorted, clear, typical
digital sound, emulating varia-
tions in frequency response in
the analog circuits. The DRIVE
equalizer provides distorted,
driven sound that enhances
analog flavor, emulating
changes in frequency
response in the analog cir-
cuits.
*1. 16.0 Hz to 20.0 kHz (LPF-1, LPF-2), 1.0 kHz to 20.0 kHz (HSH-1,
HSH-2)
Parameter Range Description
REC DEC Swss70, Swss78,
Swss85, Amer70 Selects the recording deck type
REC LVL –96.0 to +18.0 dB
Adjusts the input level of the
recording deck. As you raise the
level, tape compression is gener-
ated, which narrows the dynamic
range and distorts the sound
REC HI –6.0 to +6.0 dB Adjusts the high range gain of the
recording deck
REC BIAS –1.00 to +1.00 Adjusts the bias of the recording
deck
REPR DEC Swss70, Swss78,
Swss85, Amer70 Selects the playback deck type
REPR LVL –96.0 to +18.0 dB Adjusts the output level of the
playback deck
REPR HI –6.0 to +6.0 dB Adjusts the high range gain of the
playback deck
REPR LO -6.0 to +6.0 dB Adjusts the low range gain of the
playback deck
MAKE UP Off, On
When you adjust the REC LVL, the
REPR LVL reflects the change,
maintaining the relative output
level. You can change the amount
of distortion without changing
the output level.
TP SPEED 15ips, 30ips Selects the tape speed
TP KIND Old, New Selects the tape type
