SLICER
This consecutively interrupts the sound to create the impression that
a rhythm backing phrase is being played.
HUMANIZER
This can create human vowel-like sounds.
*1 Setting available with MODE set to PICK or AUTO.
*2 Setting available with MODE set to PICK.
*3 Setting available with MODE set to AUTO.
Parameter/
Range
Explanation
PATTERN
P1–P20 Select the slice pattern that will be used to
cut the sound.
RATE
0–100,
BPM –BPM
Adjust the rate at which the sound will be
cut.
When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according
to the value of the BPM (p. 163) specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable
settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that
time.
TRIG SENS (Trigger Sensitivity)
0–100 Adjust the sensitivity of triggering.
With low settings of this parameter, softly
picked notes will not retrigger the phrase
(i.e., the phrase will continue playing), but
strongly picked notes will retrigger the
phrase so that it will playback from the be-
ginning. With high settings of this parame-
ter, the phrase will be retriggered even by
softly picked notes.

Explanation
MODE
This sets the mode that switches the vowels.
PICK (Picking) It changes from vowel 1 to vowel 2 along
with the picking. The time spent for the
change is adjusted with the rate.
AUTO By adjusting the rate and depth, two vowels
(Vowel 1 and Vowel 2) can be switched au-
tomatically.
RANDOM Five vowels (A, E, I, O, U) are called out at
random by adjusting the rate and depth.
VOWEL1 *1
A, E, I, O, U Selects the first vowel.
VOWEL2 *1
A, E, I, O, U Selects the second vowel.
SENS (Sensitivity) *2
0–100 Adjusts the sensitivity of the humanizer.
When it is set to a lower value, no effect of
the humanizer is obtained with weaker
picking, while stronger picking produces
the effect.
When it is set to a higher value, the effect of
the humanizer can be obtained whether the
picking is weak or strong.
RATE
0–100,
BPM –BPM
Adjusts the cycle for changing the two vow-
els.
When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according
to the value of the BPM (p. 163) specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable
settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that
time.
MANUAL *3
0–100 This determines the point where the two
vowels are switched. When it is set to 50,
vowel 1 and vowel 2 are switched in the
same length of time. When it is set to lower
than 50, the time for vowel 1 is shorter.
When it is set to higher than 50, the time for
vowel 1 is longer.
DEPTH
0–100 Adjusts the depth of the effect.
LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume.
