Combination of playback heads to use
Select from three different heads with
different delay times.
S: Short
M: Middle
L:

Tape speed
Increasing this value will shorten the spacing
of the delayed sounds.
Amount of delay repeats
Boost/cut for the lower range of the echo
sound
Boost/cut for the upper range of the echo
sound
Independent panning for the short, middle,
and long playback heads
Amount of tape-dependent distortion to be
added
This simulates the slight tonal changes
that can be detected by signal-analysis
equipment. Increasing this value will increase
the distortion.
Speed of wow/flutter (complex variation in
pitch caused by tape wear and rotational
irregularity)

Degrades the sound quality. The sound
quality grows poorer as this value is
increased.
Selects the type of filter applied to the sound
after it passes through the Lo-Fi effect.
OFF: No filter is used.

Explanation
Adjusts the pitch of the pitch shifted sound in
semitone steps.
Adjusts the pitch of the pitch shifted sound in
2-cent steps.
If this is ON, the rate synchronizes with the
tempo of the rhythm.
Adjusts the delay time from the direct sound
until the pitch shifted sound is heard.
Adjusts the proportion of the pitch shifted
sound that is fed back into the effect.
Negative (-) settings will invert the phase.
