Chapter 2. Using Effects
: These effects will be limited if Effect Limit mode (p. 19) is on.
The ★ symbol in the CTRL 1–3 columns indicates the parameters whose depth will be limited.
*1 : For the time parameter (Delay Time), the value is specified in note-value units based on the current tempo for the length of the longest sample
to which the effect is applied.
Available note values:
32nd note (t32) / 16th note (t16) / 8th note triplet (t8t) / dotted 16th note (t16.) / 8th note (t8) / quarter note triplet (t4t) /
dotted eighth note (t8.) / quarter note (t4) / half note triplet (t2t) / dotted quarter note (t4.) / half note (t2) / dotted half note (t2.) /
whole note (t1)
However, you cannot choose a setting that would cause the delay time to exceed approximately 2000 ms.
While a pattern is playing, the pattern tempo will be used.
Effect List
Effects You Can Select by Directly Pressing a Button
Type CTRL 1 (display) CTRL 2 (display) CTRL 3 (display)
FILTER+DRIVE ★ CUTOFF (CoF) RESONANCE (rES) ★ DRIVE (drV) ★
Low-pass filter with overdrive.
Cuts the high range and adds dis-
tortion. Adjusts the frequency at which
the cut occurs. Adjusts the amount of peak lo-
cated at the cutoff frequency. Adds distortion.
PITCH ★ PITCH (Pit) FEEDBACK (Fdb) ★ BALANCE (bAL)
Changes the pitch. Specifies the pitch change in a +/
-2 octave range. Adjusts the amount by which the
pitch-shifted sound is repeated. Adjusts the volume balance be-
tween the direct sound and effect
sound.
DELAY ★ DELAY TIME (t32–t1) FEEDBACK (Fdb) ★ BALANCE (bAL)
Repeats the sound. Adjusts the time at which the
sound is repeated. (
*1 )
Adjusts the number of times that
the sound is repeated. Adjusts the volume balance be-
tween the direct sound and the
effect sound.
ISOLATOR ★ LOW (Lo) ★ MID (Mid) ★ HIGH (Hi) ★
Extracts or eliminates low/mid/
high ranges from the sound. Extracts or eliminates the low
range. Extracts or eliminates the mid
range. Extracts or eliminates the high
range.
VINYL SIM COMPRESSOR (CMP) NOISE LEVEL (noS) WOW FLUTTER (FLu)
Gives the sound a character simi-
lar to an analog record. Adjusts the amount of compres-
sion that is typical of an analog
record. Adjusts the volume of the noise
that is typical of an analog
record. Adjusts the irregularity of rota-
tion that is typical of an analog
record.
MFX
Type CTRL 1 (display) CTRL 2 (display) CTRL 3 (display)
1. REVERB REVERB TIME (tiM) TONE (ton) BALANCE (bAL)
Adds reverberation to the sound. Adjusts the reverberation time. Adjusts the tone of the reverbera-
tion. Adjusts the volume balance be-
tween the direct sound and effect
sound.
2. TAPE ECHO ★ REPEAT RATE (rAt) INTENSITY (int) ★ BALANCE (bAL)
Simulates a tape-based echo unit
of the past. Specifies the tape speed. Specifies the amount of echo re-
peats. Adjusts the volume balance be-
tween the direct sound and effect
sound.
3. CHORUS DEPTH (dBt) RATE (rAt) BALANCE
Adds spaciousness and depth to
the sound. Adjusts the depth of modulation. Adjusts the rate of modulation. Adjusts the volume balance be-
tween the direct sound and effect
sound.
4. FLANGER ★ (S/R = ON) DEPTH/RESONANCE (d-r) ★ RATE (rAt) BALANCE (bAL)
Creates a twisting modulation
reminiscent of a jet airplane tak-
ing off and landing.
* When Send/Return mode is on:
Adjusts both DEPTH and RESO-
NANCE simultaneously. Adjusts the rate of modulation. Adjusts the volume balance be-
tween the direct sound and effect
sound.
(S/R = OFF) DEPTH/MANUAL (dPt) RATE (rAt) RESONANCE (rES) ★
* When Send/Return mode is off: Adjusts the depth of modulation.
If the CTRL 2 knob (RATE) is
turned all the way to the left, this
knob adjusts the pitch (MANU-
AL). Adjusts the rate of modulation. If
this knob is turned all the way to
the left, the modulation will stop,
and the CTRL 1 knob (DEPTH)
will adjust the pitch (MANUAL). Gives a distinctive character to
the sound.
