Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters
CHORUS
In this effect, a slightly detuned sound is added to the
original sound to add depth and breadth.
Parameter Value
On/Off Off, On
Mode Mono, Stereo1, Stereo2
Rate 0–100, BPM –BPM
Depth 0–100
Pre Delay 0.0 msec–40.0 msec
Low Cut Flat, 55 Hz –800 Hz
High Cut 700 Hz –11.0 kHz, Flat
Effect Level 0–100
On/Off (Effect On/Off)
Turns the CHORUS effect on/off.
Mode
Selection for the chorus mode.
Mono:
This chorus effect outputs the same sound from both L and R.
Stereo1:
This is a stereo chorus effect that adds different chorus
sounds to L and R.
Stereo2:
This is a stereo chorus effect produced by synthesizing the
spatial characteristics of the direct sound and the effect
sound.
Rate
Adjusts the rate of the chorus effect.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set
according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 54) specified for
each patch. This makes it easier 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 BPM, press PARAMETER [
] to display
the Master BPM settings screen.
Depth
Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect. To use it for doubling
effect, set the value to “0.”
Pre Delay
Adjusts the time needed for the effect sound to be output
after the direct sound has been output. By setting a longer
pre delay time, you can obtain an effect that sounds like
more than one sound is being played at the same time
(doubling effect).
Low Cut (Low Cut Filter)
This sets the frequency at which the low cut filter begins to
take effect. This lets you cut the low-end component below
the set frequency to create a clear, distinct low end, thereby
bringing out the high end of the effect.
When “Flat” is selected, the low cut filter will have no effect.
High Cut (High Cut Filter)
This sets the frequency at which the high cut filter begins to
take effect. This allows you to get a mild effect sound by
cutting the high-end component above the set frequency.
When “Flat” is selected, the high cut filter will have no effect.
Effect Level
Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
REVERB
This effect adds reverberation to the sound.
Parameter Value
On/Off Off, On
Type Ambience, Room, Hall 1, Hall 2,
Plate
Rev Time 0.1 sec–10.0 sec
Pre Delay 0 msec–100 msec
Low Cut Flat, 55.0 Hz–800 Hz
High Cut 700 Hz–11.0 kHz, Flat
Density 0–10
Effect Level 0–100
On/Off (Effect On/Off)
Turns the REVERB effect on/off.
Type
This selects the reverb type. Various different simulations of
space are offered.
Ambience
Simulates an ambience mic (off-mic, placed
at a distance from the sound source) used
in recording and other applications. Rather
than emphasizing the reverberation, this
reverb is used to produce a sense of open-
ness and depth.
Room
Simulates the reverberation in a small
room. Provides warm reverberations.
Hall 1
Simulates the reverberation in a concert
hall. Provides clear and spacious reverber-
ations.
Hall 2
Simulates the reverberation in a concert
hall. Provides warm reverberations.
Plate
Simulates plate reverberation (a reverb
unit that uses the vibration of a metallic
plate). Provides a metallic sound with a
distinct upper range.
