Effect list

Effects that you can select by directly pressing a button
Type
SUPER FILTER
A filter with an extremely
steep slope (sharp attenua-
tion). (-36 dB/octave)
VOICE TRANS
Processes a human voice to
create a variety of characters.
DELAY
Repeats the sound.
ISOLATOR
Isolates or removes the low,
mid, or high frequency rang-
es.
DJFX LOOPER
Loops a short portion of the in-
put sound. You can vary the
playback direction and play-
back speed of the input sound
to add turntable-type effects.
✩: The depth of these parameters will be limited if you turn on "Effect Limit mode" (p. 20).
*1: Delay time is specified as a note value relative to the tempo of the longest sample of the samples to which the effect is
being applied.
Note values that you can specify:
32nd note (t32) / 16th note (t16) / 8th note triplet (t8t) / dotted 16th note (t16.) / 8th note (t8) / quarter note triplet
(t4t) / dotted 8th note (t8.) / quarter note (t4) / half note triplet (t2t) / dotted quarter note (t4.) / half note (t2) / dotted
half note (t2.) / whole note (t1)
However, you can't select a setting that would cause the delay time to exceed approximately 2000 milliseconds. If a
pattern is playing, the tempo of the pattern is used as the reference.
