The options are:
●
Thru— No change whatsoever to the E-80’s sound (same
effect when you switch this processor off).
●
Super Flat~Boom Box Low— Simulations of various ref-
erence monitors, including low-quality (or small) speak-
ers. Recording engineers often listen to their mixes on
various speakers to check whether all important parts
and effects are preserved on different speaker configu-
rations. These simulations apply both to the internal
speakers and to the OUTPUT and PHONES sockets.
(5) If necessary, press one of the DIGITAL BASS
ENHANCER button icons to change the bass con-
tent of the E-80’s signals.
Note that this parameter only applies to the E-80’s
internal speakers. It has no effect on the signals
transmitted to the OUTPUT MAIN sockets.

Press the
[EXIT] button to return to the main page.
Note: The settings on this page are saved to the E-80 Global
area (and archived along with User Program set data).
Note: You may hear some slight noise from the internal
speakers when the E-80 is turned on in a very quiet environ-
ment while the Digital Bass Enhancer is set to “Low” or “High”.
That noise is too faint to be audible once you start playing. In
any case, it is not transmitted to external speakers or head-
phones.
Note: You may hear a clicking noise from the internal speak-
ers when you switch the Digital Bass Enhancer function from
“Low” (or “High”) to “Off”, or from “Off” to “Low”/“High”. This is
not a malfunction. This clicking noise is not transmitted to
external speakers or headphones.
Mixing Vocal Harmonist signals
Your E-80 provides three knobs ( [VOICE] , [HARMONY]
and [EFFECTS] ) that you can use without even bother-
ing about the MIXER environment. That is why there
are no MIXER functions for this section. But the Vocal
Harmonist does have separate effects processors…
Note: For the following, it would be a good idea to set the
[EFFECTS] knob at least to “
▼
” to hear what you are doing.
(1) Press and hold a button to the right of the [VOICE]
or the [HARMONY] knob.
This takes you to the page of the selected Vocal Har-
monist function.
(2) To set the effects, press the [VOCAL¥EFFECT] field.
You can also select this page by pressing the [MENU]
button‰ [VOCAL¥HARMONIST] field‰
[VOCAL¥EFFECT] field.
The parts affected by the VOICE section are: SINGER,
VOICE-FX and AUTO PITCH.
→
Processors: Reverb, Delay
Now look at the front panel:
Only one button of these two sections can be on at
any one time. It therefore makes sense to use one set
of effects processors for the VOICE section and a sec-
ond for the HARMONY section.
The parts affected by the HARMONY section are:
VOCODER, SMALL and ENSEMBLE.
→
Processors:
Reverb, Chorus, Delay
Note: When you switch on the [TALK] function, the display
looks a little different, because there is also a [MUSIC¥MUTE]
parameter. See page 51 for details.
OFF The E-80’s bass response is flat.
LOW The E-80’s low end is boosted slightly, creating a
more powerful sound.
HIGH The E-80’s low end is boosted in a similar fashion
as for high-quality car stereos you can hear from
miles away.
