Effects List

39: Radio Tuning

This effect reproduces the sound of an AM radio playing.

40: Bit Rate Converter

By changing the bit count and sample rate, this effect recreates
the Lo-Fi (Low-Fidelity) sounds of the early digital samplers
and similar machines. After the Lo-Fi processor, a filter to
change the tone is arranged in series.

41: Pseudo Stereo

Spreads the components of the monaural input sound to left
and right, creating an artificial sense of stereo output.

Total Noise

0–127

Total noise level.

Scratch

0–127

Scratches on the record.

Dust

0–127

Dust on the record.

Hiss

0–127

Continuous hissing noise.
These settings add the typical
record’s noise. The noises increase
as the values are raised. Set each of
the Scratch, Dust, and Hiss noise
levels to get a balance, the adjust
the overall amount of noise with
the Total Noise Level control.

Total Wow/
Flutter

0–127

Total wow and flutter.

Wow

0–127

Wow, long cycle rotational irregu-
larity.

Flutter

0–127

Flutter, short cycle rotational ir-
regularity.

Random

0–127

Random rotational irregularity.
These settings determine the rota-
tional irregularities of the record
player. Set each of the Wow, Flut-
ter, and Random levels to get a
balance, the adjust the overall
depth of the effect with the Total
Wow/Flutter control.

Balance

DRY100:0WET–
DRY0:100WET

Volume balance between the di-
rect sound (DRY) and the effect
sound (WET)

Parameter

Value

Description

Tuning

-50– +50

Adjusts the degree of noise that oc-
curs when tuning a radio.

Noise Level

0–127

Sets the noise level.

Frequency
Range

0–127

Sets the frequency response of the
radio.
Lowering the value worsens the
frequency characteristics, making
the sound appear to be coming
from a tiny radio speaker.

Balance

DRY100:0WET–
DRY0:100WET

Volume balance between the direct
sound (DRY) and the effect sound
(WET)

Parameter

Value

Description

Pre Filter
Sw

OFF, ON

This is the switch of the filter placed
before the Lo-Fi processing

Sample
Rate

1/1, 1/2, 1/4,
1/8, 1/16, 1/32

Sets the fraction of current sampling
rates to be used for processing.

Parameter

Value

Description

Bit Down

0–15

This setting is for reducing the bit
count.

Post Filter
Sw

OFF, ON

This is the switch of the filter placed
after the Lo-Fi processing.

Balance

DRY100:0WET–
DRY0:100WET

Volume balance between the direct
sound (DRY) and the effect sound
(WET)

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 fre-
quency becomes higher.

Filter Reso-
nance

0–127

Resonance level of the filter
Raising the setting increases reso-
nance near the cutoff frequency,
giving the sound a special charac-
teristic.

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.
