Applying an effect
3
Use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons to select an effect pattern.
“P” in front of the number indicates a preset effect pattern, “U” indicates a
user effect pattern, and “C” indicates a effect pattern saved on a memory card.
You can rapidly switch between preset (P), user (U), and card (C) by holding
down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [INC] or [DEC] button.

When selecting a effect pattern from a card, or when switching
to another effect pattern while the current effect pattern plays,
press the [ENTER] button to finalize your selection.
The selected pattern number will blink until you finalize it.
* This step is not necessary when selecting a preset or user effect pattern while the
pattern is stopped.
* You cannot select a effect pattern from a card during playback. In this case, the
display will indicate "C--".
Using the knobs to adjust the effect
settings
Use the C1, C2, and C3 knobs to adjust the effect settings. The function of
each knob will depend on the type of effect, as shown below.
Cutoff frequency : specifies the frequency at which the filter begins to be
applied
Resonance : emphasizes the frequency region near the cutoff
frequency
* If you select the , , , , or effect types (p. 44),
it will not be possible to adjust the rate of the filter, phaser, or slicer.
* The adjustments you make here are temporary. If you want to keep the new settings,
you must Store them (p. 48).
* For some settings, you can synchronize the rate of the filter, phaser, or slicer to the
standard tempo. For details, refer to the table on the next page.

FILTER Rate

ISOLATOR Low gain Middle gain High gain
PHASER Rate
(modulation speed)* Modulation depth Resonance
SLICER Rate
(interval of cutting)* Time to cut Pan
Depending on the pattern
you select, the indicator of
the [LEAD], [BASS], or
[RHYTHM] button will
blink, and the [LOOP CTRL]
button's indicator may light
(Loop Control: On). This
indicates that the selected
pattern includes Loop
Control settings (p. 53).
If you switch to a different
effect pattern while the
current effect pattern is still
playing, playback will change
to the newly selected effect
pattern at the beginning of the
next measure. However, the
tempo of the previous effect
pattern will be maintained.
The knob position may not
match the actual value of
the setting. In this case, turn
the knob slightly, and then
make the desired setting.
If you want to view the
setting of a knob in the
display while you adjust it,
hold down the [SHIFT]
button while you turn that
knob.
If you want to check the
setting of a knob in the
display, hold down the
[SHIFT] button and press
the [DISPLAY] button.
When you do this, the
value of each knob will be
displayed in the order of
C1, C2, and C3.
