Noise Suppressor; Octave; Phaser; Pitch Shifter - Boss BR-600 Owner's Manual

Insert Effect Parameter Functions

Noise Suppressor

This effect reduces the noise and hum. Since it suppresses
the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the sound
(the way in which the sound decays over time), it has very
little effect on the sound, and does not harm the natural
character of the sound.
On/Off
This parameter turns the noise suppressor effect on/off.
Threshold
Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the
noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is
appropriate. If the noise level is low, a lower setting is
appropriate. Adjust this value until the decay of the sound
is as natural as possible.
* High settings for the Threshold parameter may result in
there being no sound when you play with your instruments
volume turned down.
Release
Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to
function until volume reaches "0."

Octave

This adds a note one octave lower, creating a richer sound.
On/Off
This parameter turns the octave effect on/off.
Oct Level
This adjusts the volume of the sound one octave below.
Dir Level
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

Phaser

By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the
phaser effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the
sound.
* This effect can be used when the MODULATION "Type"
parameter is set to "PHASER."
On/Off
This parameter turns the phaser effect on/off.
Rate
This sets the rate of the Phaser effect.
106
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
OFF, ON
the value will emphasize the effect, creating a more unusual
sound.
0 – 100

Pitch Shifter

This effect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or
down) within a range of two octaves.
* This effect can be used when the MODULATION "Type"
parameter is set to "PITCH SFT."
On/Off
This parameter turns the pitch shifter effect on/off.
Type
0 – 100
Selects either manual pitch shifter "MANUAL" or pedal
pitch shifter "PEDAL."
MANUAL :
This is a simple pitch shifter.
PEDAL :
The effect will function as a pedal pitch shifter. The effect of
OFF, ON
the wah pedal can be obtained by operating the Expression
pedal.
For a detailed explanation, see "When Using an Expression
0 – 100
Pedal" (p. 191).
Pitch
0 – 100
Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (the amount of pitch
change) in semitone steps. By selecting "DETUNE," you can
add a slightly pitch-shifted sound to the input sound,
producing a detune effect.
* This effect can be used when the "P.Shift Type" parameter is
set to "MANUAL."
D:E
This adjusts the volume balance of the direct and effect sounds.
OFF, ON
Separation
Adjusts the diffusion. The panning of the direct sound and
effect sound can be spread to left and right. This will be
0 – 100
effective when stereo output is used.
* This effect is obtained with stereo recording (using two
tracks).
