 Effect Parameters
Each of the above-mentioned effects includes a range of param-
eters allowing you to adjust the way in which it processes the
input signal. Using these parameters, the behavior of each
effect can be optimized in line with, for example, the type of
sound being processed or the type of music being played. While
the function of each of these parameters is described in the fol-
lowing table, it is good practice to also listen to how they actu-
ally change the sound of the respective effect in order to
achieve the best settings.
 Parameters with identical names
NOTE
• Certain effects contain parameters with identical names
yet performing different functions. In the following table,
the function of each such parameter is described sepa-
rately and the corresponding effects are identified.
Parameter
name
Descriptions
AMDepth
This parameter is used to set the depth of ampli-
tude modulation.
AmpType
This parameter is used to set the type of amplifier
to be simulated.
Attack
This parameter is used to set the amount of time
that elapses before compression is fully applied.
Bottom *1
This parameter is used to set the lowest point in
the filter’s sweep range.
Color *2
This parameter is used to set the fixed phase mod-
ulation.
CommonRel
This parameter is used to set the amount of time
that elapses before the compressor stops process-
ing the input signal (common for all three bands).
Compres
This parameter is used to set the input-signal level at
which the compressor starts to process the sound
(i.e., the threshold).
Cutoff
This parameter is used to set the offset value for
the filter’s control frequency.
Delay
This parameter is used to set the delay time in
terms of note lengths.
DelayC
This parameter is used to set the delay time for the
center channel.
DelayL
This parameter is used to set the delay time for the
left channel.
DelayL>R
This parameter is used to set the time that elapses
between input of sound via the left channel and
output via the right channel.
DelayR
This parameter is used to set the delay time for the
right channel.
DelayR>L
This parameter is used to set the time that elapses
between input of sound via the right channel and
output via the left channel.
Density
[Reverb effects other than EarlyRef]
This parameter is used to set the reverb density.
[Early Ref]
This parameter is used to set the density of early
reflections.
Depth
This parameter is used to set the amplitude of the
LFO wave that controls cyclic changes in phase
modulation.
Detune
This parameter is used to set the degree to which
pitches are detuned.
Device
This parameter is used to select one of a number
of devices that distort the sound in different ways.
Diffuse
[TempoPhaser and EarlyRef]
This parameter is used to adjust the spaciousness
of the sound produced.
[Reverb effects other than EarlyRef]
This parameter is used to set how wide the reverb
sounds.
Directn
This parameter is used to set the direction of enve-
lope-follower modulation.
Div.FreqH
This parameter is used to set the mid-high fre-
quency when splitting the sound into three bands.
Div.FreqL
This parameter is used to set the low-mid fre-
quency when splitting the sound into three bands.
DlyLvlC
This parameter is used to set the delay volume for
the center channel.
DlyMix
This parameter is used to set the mixing level for
the delayed sound.
DlyOfst
This parameter is used to set the modulation delay
time’s offset value.
Drive
This parameter is used to set the degree to which
the effect is applied.
DriveHorn
This parameter is used to set the depth of modula-
tion produced through rotation of the high-fre-
quency horn.
DriveRotor
This parameter is used to set the depth of modula-
tion produced through rotation of the low-frequency
rotor.
DstL.Gain
This parameter is used to set the degree by which
the low frequencies from the distorted sound are
boosted or cut.
DstM.Gain
This parameter is used to set the degree by which
the mid frequencies from the distorted sound are
boosted or cut.
Edge
This parameter is used to specify a curve that
determines how the sound is distorted.
EQ1Freq
This parameter is used to set the cutoff frequency
for the EQ1 band (i.e., low shelving).
EQ1Gain
This parameter is used to set the gain for the EQ1
band (i.e., low shelving).
EQ2Freq
This parameter is used to set the center frequency
for the EQ2 band.
EQ2Gain
This parameter is used to set the gain for the EQ2
band.
EQ2Q
This parameter is used to set the resonance of the
EQ2 band.
EQ3Freq
This parameter is used to set the center frequency
for the EQ3 band.
EQ3Gain
This parameter is used to set the gain for the EQ3
band.

*1: The Bottom parameter’s setting is valid only when less than that
of the Top parameter.
*2: The Color parameter’s setting has no effect with certain combi-
nations of Mode and Stage settings.
