Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters
PH (Phaser)
By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the
phaser effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the
sound.
Parameter Value
Type 4 Stage, 8 Stage, 12 Stage,
Bi-Phase
Rate 0–100, BPM –BPM
Depth 0–100
Manual 0–100
Resonance 0–100
Step Rate Off, 0–100, BPM –BPM
Effect Level 0–100
Direct Level 0–100
Type
Selects the number of stages that the phaser effect will use.
Rate
This sets the rate of the phaser 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
Determines the depth of the phaser effect.
Manual
Adjusts the center frequency of the phaser effect.
Resonance
Determines the amount of resonance (feedback). Increasing
the value will emphasize the effect, creating a more unusual
sound.
Step Rate
This sets the cycle of the step function that changes the rate
and depth. When it is set to a higher value, the change will be
finer.
Set this to “Off” when not using the Step function.
* 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.
Effect Level
This adjusts the volume of the phaser.
Direct Level
This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
FL (Flanger)
The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like
character to the sound.
Parameter Value
Rate 0–100, BPM –BPM
Depth 0–100
Manual 0–100
Resonance 0–100
Separation 0–100
Low Cut Flat, 55.0 Hz–800 Hz
Effect Level 0–100
Direct Level 0–100
Rate
This sets the rate of the flanging 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
Determines the depth of the flanging effect.
Manual
Adjusts the center frequency at which to apply the effect.
4 Stage
This is a four-phase effect. A light phaser
effect is obtained.
8 Stage
This is an eight-phase effect. It is a popular
phaser effect.
12 Stage
This is a twelve-phase effect. A deep phase
effect is obtained.
Bi-Phase
This is the phaser with two phase shift cir-
cuits connected in series.
