Chapter 4 The Effects Explained

NS: Noise Suppressor

This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by the bass.
Use this when noise that occurs when you are not playing the
bass becomes noticeable. Since it suppresses the noise by
monitoring the volume level of the actual bass sound being
input, it always gives a natural effect.
Parameter Value
On/Off Off, On
Threshold 0–100
Release 0–100
On/Off (Effect On/Off)
This parameter turns the noise suppressor on/off.
This setting can be made with the PATCH/VALUE dial.
* You cannot switch the noise suppressor on and off by pressing
[NAME/NS/MASTER].
Threshold
Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the
noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is
appropriate. Use a lower setting when the noise level is low.
* High threshold settings may prevent sounds from being
output when you play with your bass volume turned down.
Release
Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to
function until the noise level reaches "0."

MASTER

Parameter Value
Effect Level 0–120
Master BPM 40–250
Effect Level
Adjusts the overall volume of the processed sound.
* When the Bypass EXP Mode (p. 55) and Noise Suppressor (p.
44) is set to "Off" and only CHORUS or REV/DLY is used, the
direct sound is output as analog output. In this case, EFFECT
LEVEL does not change the volume of the direct sound.
Master BPM
Adjusts the BPM value for each patch.
* BPM (beats per minute) indicates the number of quarter note
beats that occur in one minute.
* When you have an external MIDI device connected, the
Master BPM is synchronized to the external MIDI device's
tempo, so you cannot set the Master BPM. If you want to be
able to set the Master BPM, set the "MIDI: Sync Clock" (p.
65) to Internal.
44
Master BPM Tap Input
You can use the CTL pedal to set the Master BPM by
means of tap input.
Depress the CTL pedal two or more times in time with
the performance's tempo, and the Master BPM is set to
match the timing you've used while depressing the
pedal.
To use the CTL pedal and tap tempo to set the Master
BPM, set Pedal Assign as follows:
Quick Settings (p. 46)
CTL PEDAL:
Manual Settings (p. 47)
CTL PEDAL:
CTL PEDAL Target:
CTL PEDAL Target Min:
CTL PEDAL Target Max:
CTL PEDAL Source Mode: Normal

FV: Foot Volume

This is a volume control effect.
This is normally controlled with the expression pedal.
Parameter Value
Level 0–100
Level
This sets the volume level for the Foot Volume.
* Note the following points when Bypass EXP Mode (p.55) is
set to "Off."
• Analog bypass sound is output when all effects are
set to "OFF," and the volume level cannot be
controlled using the Foot Volume.
• When CHORUS or REV/DLY are the only effects
being used, only the analog bypass sound is output
for the direct sound, so only the effect sound's
volume level is controlled with Foot Volume.
