BASIC OPERATIONS - BUILT-IN EFFECTS
The Pro Scratch 1™ comes with nine built in effects. These effects can be used one at a time or you may
choose to overlap the effects and use up to four at a time. The Built-in effects include Scratch, Fade, Skid,
Coast,Flanger, Echo, Robot, Transform, and Pan. It is important to understand that only one effect per an effect
bank can be turned on at one time, but all four effects banks can be used at a time. For example the Flanger,
Echo, and Robot are all stored in the same effects bank but only one can be used at a time. When any
of the effects are activated, the EFFECT (42) icon will display in the LCD (1). You can choose to use the
effects with their default setting or you may choose customized each effect by changing the parameters. The
parameters values for all the effects will range. Some effects will have more adjustable parameters than others.
The parameters have two adjustable values, PR (Parameter Ratio) and PV (Parameter volume). All parameters
will be reset to there default values when power is shut off.
