BASIC OPERATIONS - BUILT-IN EFFECTS
FLANGER/ECHO/ROBOT EFFECT: The flanger effect distorts the output signal
and create an effect similar to the frequency phasing in and out of each other.
The ECHO effect adds an echo to your output signal. The ROBOT effect distorts
the output to simulates a sci-fi robot voice. When the FLANGER effect is selected
the FLANGER/ECHO BUTTON (30) will glow. When the ECHO or ROBOT effect is
selected the FLANGER/ECHO BUTTON (30) will flash repeatedly.
ROBOT EFFECT: The ROBOT effect is activated in the ECHO parameters. To
activate the ROBOT effect select the ECHO effect. After the Echo effect is activated
enter the PT Parameters and turn the hold function on. Set the Parameter Time
(PT) value to 0010 and use the Jog Wheel to create the effect by adjusting the
Parameter Ratio (PR).
FLANGER EFFECT: The FLANGER Effect has two adjustable parameters,
Parameter Time (PT) and Parameter Ratio (PR). The PT will adjust the Flanger
Mode and The PR will adjust the Flanger Frequency Range.
ECHO EFFECT: The ECHO Effect has two adjustable parameters, Parameter
Time (PT) and Parameter Ratio (PR). The PR will adjust the length of the echo (drop
off time), and the PT will adjust the echo gap length.
TRANS/PAN EFFECT: The TRANS effect simulates a real-time mixer transformer
effect. The PAN effect allows you to pan the output from the left channel to
the right channel. Pressing TRANS/PAN BUTTON (29) once will activate the
TRANSFORMER effect (figure 47). When the TRANSFORMER effect is activated
the TRANS/PAN BUTTON (29) will glow. To activate the PAN effect, press and
hold the TRANS/PAN BUTTON (29) until it begins to flash. A flashing TRANS/PAN
BUTTON (29) will represent the PAN effect. The fade time can be adjusted in the
parameters setting from 0010 to 9990. 9990 will give you the longest fade out time.
The Pan Value ranges from 10ms to ten seconds.
TRANS EFFECT: The TRANS Effect has two adjustable parameters, Parameter
Time and Parameter Ratio. The PT will adjust the Trans Speed and The PR will
adjust the Trans Audio Length. The lower the PT value the faster the TRANS effect
(PT 0500 = 1/2 second, PT 1000 = 1 second).
PAN EFFECT: The PAN effect uses the PT value to pan left to Right. PT 0500 is
the default setting which is center pan.

SKID/COAST EFFECT: The Skid effect simulates the sudden platter stop of a
turntable, like pressing the stop button on a turntable. The COAST effect simulates
a turntable slowly revving up to it's proper speed, or slowly winding down to a
stop, like tuning the power off when a turntable is running. When the SKID effect
is selected the SKID/COAST BUTTON (3) will glow. When the COAST effect is
selected the SKID/COAST BUTTON (3) will flash repeatedly. The fade effect will
fade the music out and bring back in. Both the Skid and Coast time parameters
can be adjusted from 0010 to 9990. 9990 will give you the longest Skid and Coast
times. The SKID/COAST value ranges from a 10ms to ten seconds.
