  • Page 6: Introducing The 3000

    Introducing the 3000 Outline The 3000 is a multi-effect processor featuring seven effect modules (effect blocks). Each effect module works as a single effect, equivalent to a compact effect device. In other words, the 3000 can be thought of as functioning in the same way as seven compact effect devices linked together.A compact effect device comes with knobs for adjusting the type of effect and depth.

  • Page 20: Using The Function Switch

    Using the FUNCTION switch The FUNCTION switch can be used to quickly activate muting or bypass, or to adjust the volume or effect parameters in real time. Assigning a Function to the FUNCTION Switch There are seven modes for the FUNCTION switch which can be selected by the user. To assign a function, perform the following steps.

  • Page 23: Delay Time Tap Input

    Delay Time Tap Input When the FUNCTION Mode parameter is set to "3: DELAY (TAP&HOLD)", the FUNCTION switch can be used to set the delay time for patches using the NORMAL or ANALOG effect type of the DELAY module. By using this function, you can easily set the delay time to match the music's tempo. TALKING BOX FUNCTION MODE BANK(VALUE)

  • Page 24: Using Hold Delay

    Using Hold Delay When the FUNCTION Mode parameter is set to "3: DELAY (TAP&HOLD)" and the HOLD effect type is selected for the DELAY module, the hold delay function can be used.

  • Page 25: Adjusting Effect Parameters In Real Time (Rtm)

    Adjusting Effect Parameters in Real Time (RTM) The 3000 incorporates a so-called RTM (real-time modulation) function which lets the user change effect parameters in real time, using the FUNCTION switch. This makes it possible to adjust, for example, overdrive, distortion, or reverb mix during a performance. It is also possible to control several parameters simultaneously.
  • Page 26 Use the VALUE knob to adjust the parameter. STEP The value set in this way becomes the reference setting for RTM. VALUE Use the Parameter Select keys to select parameter 7. STEP For every effect module and effect type, parameter 7 sets the RTM range.
  • Page 27 While playing your instrument, press and hold the FUNCTION switch STEP FUNCTION The RTM control target parameter changes gradually, causing a change in the sound quality of the patch. When the end point of the control range (maximum or minimum) is reached, the parameter remains constant also if the FUNCTION switch is still depressed.

  • Page 28: Controlling The Volume In Real Time (Volume Rtm)

    Controlling the Volume in Real Time (VOLUME RTM) VOLUME RTM is a function for controlling the input level to the EFFECT1 or EFFECT2 module using the FUNCTION switch. This makes it possible to easily perform fade-out or fade-in during during a performance.
