The function of each parameter
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.
EFFECT
This parameter turns the octave effect on/off.
OCT LEVEL (octave level)
This adjust the volume of the sound one octave below.
DIR LEVEL (direct level)
This adjust the volume of the direct sound.

OVER DRIVE

It's possible to simulate the distortion produced by a rotary
speaker's vacuum-tube amp (Overdrive).
EFFECT
This parameter turns the overdrive effect on/off.
GAIN
This parameter adjusts the input level for Overdrive. Larger
values result in greater distortion.
DRIVE
This parameter adjusts the amount of distortion.
LEVEL
This parameter adjusts the output level for Overdrive.
108

PHASER

By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the
phaser effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the
sound.
EFFECT
This parameter turns the phaser effect on/off.
TYPE
Selects the number of stages that the phaser effect will use.
4STAGE:
This is a four-phase effect. A light phaser effect is obtained.
6STAGE:
This is a six-phase effect. A popular phaser effect is obtained.
8STAGE:
This is an eight-phase effect. It is the most popular phaser
effect.
10STAGE:
This is a ten-phase effect. A deep phaser effect is obtained.
12STAGE:
This is a twelve-phase effect. The deepest phaser effect is
obtained.
BI-PHASE:
This is the phaser with two phase shift circuits connected in
series.
RATE
This sets the rate of the Phaser effect.
* If this is set to BPM, the MASTER BPM (p.105) setting for
each patch will determine the rate, and the effect sound will
synchronize to the tempo of the song. However if the BPM value
is large, the effect will synchronize to 1/2 or 1/4 of the BPM.
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
the value will emphasize the effect, creating a more unusual
sound. Setting it to a minus value will create resonance
having a reversed phase.
SEPARATE (separation)
Adjusts the diffusion. The diffusion increases as the value
increases.
