This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the bass
sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound
can be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches. This can create human vowel-like sounds.
*1 Setting available with Mode set to Picking or Auto.
*2 Setting available with Mode set to Picking.
*3 Setting available with Mode set to Auto.
RING MOD. (Ring Modulator)
Parameter/
Range Explanation
Mode
This selects the mode for the ring modulator.
Normal This is a normal ring modulator.
Intelligent
By ring-modulating the input signal, a bell like
sound is created. The intelligent ring modula-
tor changes the oscillation frequency according
to the pitch of the input sound and therefore
produces a sound with the sense of pitch,
which is quite different from Normal. This ef-
fect does not give a satisfactory result if the
pitch of the bass sound is not correctly detected.
So, you must use single notes, not chords.
Frequency
0–100 Adjusts the frequency of the internal oscillator.
EffectLev (Effect Level)
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
DirectLev (Direct Level)
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
HUMANIZER
Parameter/
Range Explanation
Mode
This selects the mode that switches the vowels.
Picking
It changes from vowel 1 to vowel 2 along
with the picking. The time spent for the
change is adjusted with the rate.
Auto
By adjusting the rate and depth, two vow-
els (Vowel 1 and Vowel 2) can be switched
automatically.
Random
Five vowels (A, E, I, O, U) are called out at
random by adjusting the rate and depth.
Vowel 1 *1
a, e, i, o, u Selects the first vowel.
Vowel 2 *1
a, e, i, o, u Selects the second vowel.
Sens (Sensitivity) *2
0–100
Adjusts the sensitivity of the humanizer.
When it is set to a lower value, no effect of
the humanizer is obtained with weaker
picking, while stronger picking produces
the effect.
When it is set to a higher value, the effect of
the humanizer can be obtained whether the
picking is weak or strong.
Rate
0–100,
BPM –BPM
Adjusts the cycle for changing the two
vowels.
When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according
to the value of the “Master BPM” (p. 122) specified for each patch.
This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the
tempo of the song.
If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable settings, it
is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that time.
Depth
0–100 Adjusts the depth of the effect.
Manual *3
0–100
This determines the point where the two
vowels are switched. When it is set to 50,
vowel 1 and vowel 2 are switched in the
same length of time. When it is set to lower
than 50, the time for vowel 1 is shorter.
When it is set to higher than 50, the time for
vowel 1 is longer.
Level
0–100 Adjusts the volume.
