Chapter 4 The Effects Explained
Chapter
4
Lo PreDly (Low Pre Delay)
Adjusts the time from when the direct sound in the lower
range is output until the effect sound is output. Extending
the pre-delay produces the sensation of multiple sounds
being played (doubling effect).
Lo Level (Low Level)
Adjusts the volume of the lower range.
Hi Rate (High Rate)
Adjusts the rate of the chorus effect for the upper range.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter is set according
to the value of the Master BPM (p. 44) specified for each patch.
This makes it easy to achieve effect sound settings that match
the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or
one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).
When setting to the BPM, press PARAMETER [
] to
display the Master BPM settings screen.
Hi Depth (High Depth)
Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect for the upper range. If
you wish to use this as a doubling effect, use a setting of “0.”
Hi PreDly (High Pre Delay)
Adjusts the time from when the direct sound in the upper
range is output until the effect sound is output. Extending
the pre-delay will produce the sensation of multiple sounds
being played (doubling effect).
Hi Level (High Level)
Adjusts the volume of the upper range.
■ ASL: Auto Slap
This effect lets you have phrases play automatically, just by
playing a single string. Simply slap a string to play a phrase.

are received while Auto Slap is in use.

Loop
When set to “OFF,” the phrase plays one time, and then
stops. When set to “On,” the phrase plays continuously.
Tempo
Adjusts the rate for the phrase.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter is set according
to the value of the Master BPM (p. 44) specified for each patch.
This makes it easy to achieve effect sound settings that match
the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or
one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).
When setting to the BPM, press PARAMETER [
] to
display the Master BPM settings screen.
Sens
Adjusts the sensitivity for the triggering. With low settings,
softly picked notes will not retrigger the phrase (i.e., the
phrase will continue playing), but strongly picked notes will
retrigger the phrase so that it will play back from the
beginning. With high settings of this parameter, the phrase
will be retriggered even when you play softly.
Effect Level
Adjusts the phrase volume.
Direct Level
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
Creating Original Phrases (User Phrase)
In addition to the 20 different prepared phrases, you can also
create up to ten of your own original phrases (User phrases).
* User phrases represent settings common to all patches, so they
are constantly updated (saved) without the Write procedure
being carried out. You can carry out Factory Reset for the
system to restore the settings to their original factory-set
values (p. 73).
