How the Effects Work
What are the effect control
knobs?
The effect section has three knobs, [RATE/ LOW], [CUTOFF/
MID], and [RESO/HIGH]. These are collectively referred to
as the effect control [EFFECTS CONTROL] knobs. These
knobs can be used to modify the parameters of the effect.
The parameters that are modified (i.c., the role of the knobs)
will differ depending on the effect that is selected.
For details refer to the Effect Parameter Chart.

You can also use the step modulator instead of these knobs to
modify the effect parameters.
For details refer to the section on the step modulator.

Behavior of knobs during use of patches
* If you move the knobs after selecting a patch, the settings
of the selected patch will be discarded; instead, the
values actually indicated by the knobs will be placed in
effect.
• If you hold down the [SHIFT] button and move the
knobs, the BPM display will show the patch parameter
values, allowing you to check the settings of that patch.
(The actual values of the knobs will not be applied to the
effect.)
What is effect balance? (EFFECT
BALANCE)
Effect balance is the relative volume of the direct signal (the
sound to which no effect is applied) respective to the effect
signal (the signal after it's been processed by the effect). On
the EF-303, you can turn the [EFFECT BALANCE] knob to
adjust this balance. If you turn the knob fully
counterclockwise (DIRECT), only the direct signal will be
output. If you turn the knob fully clockwise (EFFECT), only
the effect signal will be output. If you place the knob at the
center, the direct signal and effect signal will be output at a
1:1 ratio.
* [f you set FREQ RANGE Го either HIGH, MID, or LOW,
placing Ше knob at the center will output the effect sound of
the selected frequency range, and the remaining direct sound
at a 1:1 ratio.
If the SYSTEM setting DIRECT MUTE is "ON," the direct
signal will not be output.

What is the [GRAB (effect)]
switch?
This is the effect on/off switch. If it is in the "ON" position,
the effect will always be on.
If you move the switch to the GRAB position, the effect will
be on only while you hold the switch in that position.
In the "OFF" position, the effect will be off.
By using the [GRAB (effect)] switch, you can easily switch
the effect on/off in a rhythmical way. By using the various
knobs in conjunction with the [GRAB (effect)] switch, you
can create more dynamic DJ performances.
NEAD
With Grab Reset, a System setting, at "ON," you can flip the
[GRAB(Effect)] switch to "ON," and obtain the same result as
you would if vou pressed the RESET switch.
