tion.

Adjusts the character of modu-
lation.

RESO

Varies the pitch of the phaser
sound in stepwise fashion.

Adjusts the rate of modulation.

D.LEVEL

Gives the sound a metallic
character.

Adjusts the pitch of the metal-
lic sound.

BALANCE

LEVEL

Creates a pseudo-stereo effect
by delaying either the left or
right side of the sound. Particu-
larly effective when applied to
a monaural sound.

Adjusts the amount of delay
between left and right. Nega-
tive
(-) settings delay the left, and
positive (+) settings delay the
right side. At the center posi-
tion, there is no delay.

Adjusts the volume balance be-
tween the direct sound (D) and
effect sound (E).

Adjusts the output volume.

28 SPACE-D

DEPTH

RATE

BALANCE

A multi-stage chorus that ap-
plies two phases of modulation
in stereo. This does not create a
sense of movement, but rather
a clear and transparent chorus
effect.

Adjusts the depth of modula-
tion.

Adjusts the rate of modulation.

Adjusts the volume balance be-
tween the direct sound (D) and
the effect sound (E).

29 LOW BOOST

BST FREQ

BST GAIN

LEVEL

Boosts the volume of the low-
frequency range to create a
deeper sound.

Adjusts the frequency (50–125
Hz) at which the low-frequen-
cy range will be boosted.

Adjusts the amount of boost
applied to the low-frequency
range.

Adjusts the output volume.

30 EQUALIZER

LOW

MIDDLE

HIGH

Adjusts the volume of each fre-
quency range.

Adjusts the volume of the low-
frequency range.

Adjusts the volume of the mid-
frequency range.

Adjusts the volume of the high-
frequency range.

31 RADIO TUNING

TUNING

NOISE LV

FREQ RNG

Simulates the sound heard
from a radio.

Adjusts the amount of tuning
inaccuracy.

Adjusts the volume of the
noise.

Adjusts the tonal character.

32 VINYL SIMULATOR

COMP

NOISE LV

sion typical of an analog
record.

Adjusts the volume of the noise
typical of an analog record.

ty typical of an analog record.

33 GATE

THRESHOLD

MODE

RELEASE

Uses the volume of the input
source coming into the effect to
cut the release portion of the re-
verberant sound. Use this
when you want to forcibly
shorten the decay of a sound.

Adjusts the volume level at
which the gate begins to close.

Selects the type of gate.

GATE:

When the volume of the

input source falls, the gate will
close, cutting the input source.

DUCK:

When the volume of the

input source rises, the gate will
close, cutting the input source.

Adjusts the time from when
the gate begins to close after
the hold time has elapsed until
it finishes closing.

LEVEL

Produces noise.

Adjusts the color (tonal charac-
ter) of the “rushing” or “hiss-
ing” noise.

Adjusts how often scratch
noise (as produced by scratch-
es on a record) will appear.

Adjusts the volume of the
“rushing” or “hissing” noise.

35 ENHANCER

MIX

LEVEL

Controls the overtone structure
of the high-frequency range to
add sparkle to the sound and
improve the definition.

Adjusts the depth of the en-
hancer effect.
