Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters
Section 4
Resonance
Determines the amount of resonance (feedback). Increasing
the value will emphasize the effect, creating a more unusual
sound.
Separation
Adjusts the diffusion. The diffusion increases as the value
increases.
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.
Effect Level
This adjusts the volume of the flanger.
Direct Level
This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
HR (Harmonist)
“Harmonist” is an effect where the amount of shifting is
adjusted according to an analysis of the guitar input,
allowing you to create harmonics based on diatonic scales.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more
sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.

Voice
This selects the number of voices for the pitch shift sound
(harmony).
1-Voice:
One-voice pitch-shifted sound output in monaural.
2-Mono:
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (HR1, HR2) output in
monaural.
2-Stereo:
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (HR1, HR2) output through
left and right channels.
Harm (Harmony)
This determines the pitch of the sound added to the input
sound, when you are making a harmony. It allows you to set
it by up to 2 octaves higher or lower than the input sound.
When the scale is set to “Scale 1–Scale29,” this parameter sets
the user scale number to be used.
PreDly (Pre Delay)
Adjusts the time from when the direct sound is heard until
the harmonist sounds are heard. Normally you can leave this
set at “0ms.”
* 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 time to
twice or four times the time length of the BPM when the set
time is increased).
When setting to BPM, press PARAMETER [
] to display
the Master BPM settings screen.
Feedback
This adjusts the feedback amount of the harmonist sound.
Level
This adjusts the volume.
Key
Specify the key of the song you are playing. By specifying the
key, you can create harmonies that fit the key of the song.
The key setting corresponds to the key of the song (#, b) as
follows.

Direct Level
This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
