Effect Types and Parameters

How to read the parameter table

Effect parameters 1 – 3
These are the parameters that can be adjusted with Parameter knobs 1 – 3 when
the effect type is selected. The setting range for each parameter is shown.
Three-digit setting values are shown with a dot between the two numerals.
Example: 1 – 98, 1.0 = 1 – 98, 100

called up.
DL
dL DELAY
This is a delay with a maximum setting of 5000 ms.
HOLD
PD
Pd PINGPONG DELAY
This is a ping-pong type delay where the delay sound alternates between left and right.
HOLD
EC
EC ECHO
This effect simulates a tape echo with a long delay time of up to 5000 ms.
HOLD
These three effect types have the same parameters.
1 – 99,
TIME
1.0 – 5.0
Adjusts the delay time. In the
TAP
range from 10 – 990 ms, the
adjustment is made in 10-ms
steps (1 – 99). For 1 second and
above, the adjustment is made in
100-ms steps (1.0 – 2.0).
Expression pedal
A pedal icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be controlled with the expression
pedal (FP01/FP02).
Specify the respective module as modulation target for the expression pedal (→ p. 19), and then
select the respective effect type of the module. The parameter can then be controlled in real time
with a connected expression pedal.
Tap
TAP
A [TAP] key icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be set by hitting the [TAP]
key.
In edit mode, when the respective module/effect type is selected, repeatedly hitting the [TAP] key
will set the parameter according to the key press interval (modulation cycle, delay time, etc.).
In play mode, if the DELAY module is ON for the currently selected patch, repeatedly hitting the
[TAP] key will temporarily change the parameter.
Hold
HOLD
A foot switch icon ( ) in the listing indicates an effect type for which hold can be turned
on and off with the foot switch (FS01).
Set the foot switch function to "dH" (delay hold) (→ p. 18) for the respective patch. When this patch
is then selected in play mode, the hold function can be switched on and off by pressing the foot
switch.

Effect Types and Parameters
LEVEL

Adjusts the signal level after passing the
module.
RESONANCE
-10 – -1, 1 – 10 0 – 10
Adjusts the resonance of the sound.

0 – 50
d9, t0 – t9
Allows selection of the modulation
waveform. Available settings are "u"
(rising sawtooth), "d" (falling sawtooth),
and "t" (triangular). Higher setting
values result in more clipping of wave
peaks, which reinforces the effect.
