• Memory Store Operation
An edited effect program can be stored in any memory
iocation within the FXSOO's RAM memory area (61 through
90). Originai effect programs stored in this way can be
selected and used in exactly the same way as the preset
effect programs. The ON/OFF status of each effect, the
selected order of the MOD and REV stages and MIDI
CONTROLLER assignments are stored aiong with aii other
parameter data. The UTILITY mode TITLE EDIT function
can be used to create new tities for your originai effect
programs after you have stored them in RAM memory.
(See "Program Titie Edit" on page 19)
© After editing the parameters to create the desired
effect, select the MEMORY mode and select the RAM
memory location (61 — 90) with the Aor Tkey to
which you wish to store the edited data.
© Press the STORE key.

COMPRESSOR (COMP)
The compressor effect stage produces sustain or simple
"smoothing" by compressing the signal so that high levels
are suppressed while low levels are effectively boosted.
The use of compression before other effect stages is
particuiariy effective because it iimits the signai to a
dynamic range that results in improved sound with the
subsequent effects.

THR (Threshold: -60 — 0 dB)
Sets the compressor threshoid ievel. signal levels
exceeding the threshold level will be compressed while
those below the threshold level will be unaffected.
RAT (Ratio: 1/2,1/4,1/8, 1/oo)
This parameter sets the degree of compression. A
compression ratio of 1/2, for example, compresses signals
above the threshold level to one-half their originai
ampiitude. A setting of 1/°° produces aimost total
compression, producing the same signai ievel for all
signals above the threshold level. This yields the greatest
degree of sustain.
