Effects List

24: Digital Phaser

Phaser is an effect that adds a phase-shifted sound to the
original sound to create time-varying change, modulating the
sound.

25: Rotary

The Rotary effect simulates the sound of the rotary speakers
often used with the electric organs of the past. Since the
movement of the high range and low range rotors can be set
independently, the unique type of modulation characteristic
of these speakers can be simulated quite closely. This effect is
most suitable for electric organ Patches.

26: Tremolo/Auto Pan

This is a stereo tremolo or auto-pan effect. Tremolo cyclically
modulates the volume to add tremolo effect to the sound. The
Auto Pan effect cyclically modulates the stereo location of the
sound.

Parameter

Description

Shift Mode

4STAGE,
8STAGE

Sets the number of stages in the
phase shift circuit (four (4STAGE)
or eight (8STAGE)).
Setting this to eight stages
(8STAGE) increases the number of
the frequency points that sound is
canceled, giving a sharper effect.

Manual

0–127

Specifies the center frequency at
which the sound is modulated.

Rate

0.05–10.0 Hz,
note

Specifies the frequency of modula-
tion.

Depth

0–127

Specifies the depth of modulation.

Phase

NORM, INV

Sets the phase of both left and right
swelling.
NORM: The left and right phase
will be the same.
INV: The left and right phase will
be opposite.

Resonance

0–127

Specifies the amount of feedback
for the phaser.
Higher settings will give the sound
a stronger character.

Mix Level

0–127

Volume of the phase-shifted sound,
relative to the direct sound

quency rotor

Low Accel-
eration

Adjusts the time it takes the low
frequency rotor to reach the newly
selected speed when switching
from fast to slow (or slow to fast)
speed.

Hi Slow
Rate

0.05–10.0 Hz,
note

quency rotor

Hi Fast Rate

0.05–10.0 Hz,
note

Fast speed (FAST) of the high fre-
quency rotor

Hi Accelera-
tion

0–15

Adjusts the time it takes the high
frequency rotor to reach the newly
selected speed when switching
from fast to slow (or slow to fast)
speed.
