Effects List

03: Resonant Filter

It allows for cyclical control of the cutoff frequency using an
LFO. It allows you to make drastic changes in the frequency
response of the input signal by the cutoff frequency and
feedback, making the sound brighter or darker, or giving it a
distinctive character.

04: Isolator and Filter

A 3-band isolator, filter, and low booster are connected in
stereo in series.
Isolator is an equalizer which cuts the volume greatly,
allowing you to add a special effect to the sound by cutting the
volume in varying ranges.
The filters allow you to modify the frequency response of the
input sound widely and give sound a character.
The low booster emphasizes the bottom to create a heavy bass
sound.

Parameter

Value

Description

Cutoff Freq

50–20000 Hz

Basic frequency of the filter
The LFO will control the cutoff
frequency with this value as its
maximum level.

Resonance

0–127

Filter’s resonance level
Raising the setting increases
resonance near the cutoff fre-
quency, producing a uniquely
characteristic sound.

Band Mode

LOW, MID,
HIGH,
LOW+MID,
MID+HIGH,
ALL

Frequency range to which the
filter will be applied
LOW: low frequency band
MID: mid-range frequency
HIGH: high frequency
LOW+MID: low and middle
range frequency
MID+HIGH: middle and high
range frequency
ALL: all ranges

Sweep Wave-
form

TRI, SAWUP,
SAWDN, SQR

LFO waveform
TRI: Triangle wave
SAWUP: Sawtooth Wave
SAWDN: Sawtooth Wave
SQR: Square wave

Sweep Rate

0.05–10.0 Hz,
note

Frequency of the LFO modula-
tion

Sweep Depth

0–127

Modulation depth of the LFO

Balance

DRY100:0WET–
DRY0:100WET

Volume balance between the
direct sound (DRY) and the ef-
fect sound (WET)

SAWUP

SAWDN

Parameter

Value

Description

Low Band
Level

-60– +4
dB

These specify each level of the Low, Mid,
and High frequency ranges.
At -60 dB, the sound becomes inaudible. 0
dB is equivalent to the input level of the
sound.

Mid Band
Level
Hi Band
Level
AP Low Sw

OFF, ON

Turns the Anti-Phase function on and off
for the Low frequency ranges.
When turned on, the counter-channel of
stereo sound is inverted and added to the
signal.

AP Low
Level

0–127

Adjusts the level settings for the Low fre-
quency ranges.
Adjusting this level for certain frequencies
allows you to lend emphasis to specific
parts. (This is effective only for stereo
source.)

AP Mid Sw

OFF, ON

Settings of the Anti-Phase function for the
Middle frequency ranges
The parameters are the same as for the
Low frequency ranges.

AP Mid
Level

0–127

Filter Type

Type of filter

THRU:

no filter is used

LPF:

Passes frequencies below the Cutoff.

BPF:

Passes frequencies near the Cutoff.

HPF:

Passes frequencies above the Cutoff.

NOTCH:

Passes frequencies other than those near the

Cutoff.

Filter Slope

-12, -24
dB/O

Filter’s attenuation slope
-24 dB per octave: steep
-12 dB per octave: gentle

Filter Cut-
off

0–127

Cutoff frequency of the filter
The closer to zero it is set, the lower the
cutoff frequency becomes; set it closer to
127, and the cutoff frequency becomes
higher.

Filter Reso-
nance

0–127

Resonance level of the filter
Raising the setting increases resonance
near the cutoff frequency, giving the
sound a special characteristic.

Filter Gain

0– +24
dB

Compensates for the volume dropped in
the cut frequency range with some filters.
The level of compensation increases as the
value is increased, and raise the volume.

LowBoost
Level

-15– +15
dB

Increasing this value gives you a heavier
low end.
* Depending on the Isolator and filter set-
tings this effect may be hard to distin-
guish.
