Insert effect algorithms (continued)

Algorithm 4

( MICEF 10 – MICEF 19 )

 

 

 

MICEF10

This is a mic input limiter. Unlike the LIMIT 0 - LIMIT 9 effect, the effect

 

 

 

operates independently for input 1 and 2. Higher setting values produce

 

 

 

MICEF19

stronger limiter action.

 

 

 

 

Algorithm 5

( MICEF 20 – MICEF 29 )

 

 

 

MICEF20

This is a mic input limiter optimized for vocals. The effect operates

 

 

 

independently for input 1 and 2. Higher setting values produce stronger

 

 

 

 

 

 

MICEF29

limiter action.

 

 

 

 

Algorithm 6

( MICEF 30 – MICEF 39 )

 

 

 

MICEF30

This is a mic input limiter optimized for acoustic guitar. The effect operates

 

 

 

independently for input 1 and 2. Higher setting values produce stronger

 

 

 

MICEF39

limiter action.

 

 

 

 

The up/down [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys change the right-hand setting value. When the highest or lowest setting is reached, the unit switches to the next algorithm.

LIMIT 8

LIMIT 9

COMP 0

Pressing the left/right [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys changes directly to the next algorithm.

LIMIT 5

COMP 0

3.Press the [EXIT/NO] key.

The main screen returns.

HINT

Pressing the [MIXDOWN] and [SEND/RETURN] keys together turns the insert effect off. Pressing both keys once more together turns the insert effect on again, with the most recent setting in use.

Selecting and recording to a track

 

 

 

Record the guitar sound with insert effect on track 1, as follows.

1.Press the status key 1 repeatedly, until the key is lit in red.

The status keys 1 – 4 serve for selecting the recording track, and for controlling the mute on/off condition for the track. With each push of the status key, the setting changes as follows.

Lit in green

Out

Lit in red

Status key

 

 

Muting off

Muting on

Selected as recording track

When the status key 1 changes from green to red, track 1 is in the recording standby condition. The input signal routing in this condition is as follows.

If no recording track is selected

If a recording track (track 1) is selected

MASTER

1 MASTER

Track 1

Track 1

Track 2

Track 2

HINT

Up to two tracks (tracks 1/2 or tracks 3/4) can be selected for recording simultaneously.

2.While playing your instrument, operate fader 1 of the MRS-4 or the volume control of the monitor system to adjust the monitoring level.

The setting of fader 1 has no effect on the recording level.

3.To use the metronome function, press the [METRONOME] key so that the key lights up.

When the [METRONOME] key is lit, the internal metronome operates.

HINT

In the default condition of the song, the metronome is set to a 4/4 beat, tempo of 120 BPM, and a precount of 4 beats. These settings can be changed if desired. For details, see page 50.

4.To start recording, use the ZERO [U] key to return to the beginning of the song, and then press the PLAY [R] key while holding down the REC [O] key.

The precount clicks are heard, and then recording on track 1 starts. The REC [O] key and PLAY [R] key are lit. Play your guitar while using the metronome sounds as a guide.
