Parameter Value Explanation Adjusts the density of DENSITY 0–10 the reverb sound.
Page 45
NS (NOISE SUPPRESSOR) This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by acoustic instrument’s pickups or a microphone. 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 of the acoustic instrument or the microphone, and does not harm the natural character of the sound.
Page 46
Parameter Value Explanation 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. THRESHOLD 0–100 * High settings for the threshold parameter may result in no sound when you...
