L–R BALANCE (

)
LOW BOOST (

)
HIGH BOOST (

)
Cancels the vocal or other sound
located in the center .
Adjusts the point at which maximum
cancellation occurs .
Boosts the low-frequency sounds
located in the center, such as the
bass .
Boosts the high-frequency sounds .

BALANCE (

)
Adds a low-frequency sine wave
based on the volume being input to
the effect (*3) .
Adjusts the frequency of the sine
wave .
Adjusts the volume at which the sine
wave will begin sounding .
Adjusts the volume balance between
the direct sound and effect sound .

LOOP SW (

/

)
Loops the input sound over a short
period .
Adjusts the length of the loop .
Specifies the timing at which the
looped sound will automatically start
sounding (in 8th note intervals) (*4) .
Set this to “oFF” if you don’t want the
loop to play automatically .
If you turn this on while the sound
is heard, the sound at that point will
be looped . Turn this off to defeat
looping .
*
For FLANGER and PHASER, you can use [MFX] button + [CTRL 1] knob to adjust the volume balance between the direct sound and effect sound .
*1: It is specified as a note value relative to the tempo of the longest sample of the samples to which the effect is being applied .
Note values that you can specify:
32nd note (t32) / 16th note (t16) / 8th note triplet (t8t) / dotted 16th note (t16 .) / 8th note (t8) / quarter note triplet (t4t) / dotted 8th 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 can’t select a setting that would cause the delay time to exceed approximately 2000 milliseconds . If a pattern is playing, the tempo of the pattern is used as
the reference .
*2: You can select the following patterns by turning the [CTRL] knob .
The TIMING PTN interval will synchronize to the tempo of the longest sample of the samples to which the effect is being applied . However, if a pattern is playing, the
interval will synchronize to the tempo of the pattern .
You can use RATE to adjust the synchronization speed as follows .
RATE maximum (turn the [CTRL 2] knob all the way to the right): One cycle of TIMING PTN corresponds to one measure .
RATE minimum (turn the [CTRL 2] knob all the way to the left): One cycle of TIMING PTN corresponds to a 32nd note .
By turning the [CTRL 2] knob you can change this to any value from a 32nd note up to one measure .
*3: Turn the [CTRL 3] balance toward 12 o’clock, turn the [CTRL 1] knob’s pitch all the way to the right, and use the [CTRL 2] knob to adjust the threshold so that the sine wave
is sounded appropriately according to the input source . When you’ve finished setting the threshold, adjust the pitch and balance . This is a convenient way to supplement
the kick drum .
*4: The TIMING cycle will synchronize to the tempo of the longest sample to which the effect is being applied . However, if a pattern is playing, it will synchronize to the tempo
of the pattern .
