Effect Types
Chorus Simulates the rich character of a vocal choir or string ensemble, by layering a
slightly detuned version of the sound over the original to enrich it.
Flanger Creates a shifting comb-filter, which adds motion and a “hollow” tone to the
sound.
Celeste A three-phase chorus without modulation.
Ensemble A three-phase chorus with a slight modulation to each phase.
Delay 1-3 Adds echoes to the sound. The three types differ in the length of time between
the echoes.
Auto Pan Moves the sound left and right across the stereo field at a variable rate.
Tremolo Modulates the volume of the sound. This is a vibrato type effect.
Tremulant A combination of Tremolo and Vibrato. It simulates the tremulant pipes of a
church organ.
Phaser Creates a phase change, adding motion to the sound.
Rotary 1-2 This effect simulates the sound of the Rotary Speaker cabinet commonly used
with electric organs. Rotary 2 adds distortion. The soft pedal is used to change
the speed of the rotor between SLOW and FAST.
Auto Wah Sweeps a tone filter up and down at the beginning of a note, recreating the popular
vintage wah wah pedal sound.
Enhancer Emphasizes high frequencies to make a sound more easily discernible in a mix.
Distortion Adds frequencies that were not present in the original sound, resulting in a “fuzzy”
or warmer tone.
