Effect List
Effect Synchronization (Phrase Sync)
The following effects can automatically be synchronized with the tempo of the wave played back. (Phrase Sync)
4: SYNC-DELAY
9: STEPFLANGER
29: SHORTLOOPER
30: SLICER
The parameters for these effect types include Tempo and PhraseSync (or Sync for STEPFLANGER).
• When PhraseSync is set to OFF, or when Sync is set to FIXED for STEPFLANGER, the effect sound is synchronized with
an effect parameter of Tempo. While a wave is played back, synchronization is not redone.
• When PhraseSync is set to ON, or when Sync is set to PHRASE for STEPFLANGER and if the wave played back has any
tempo, the effect sound is synchronized with the tempo. Even when they are being synchronized with the tempo of the
wave currently played back, the effect sound is resynchronized with the tempo of the wave playback later. If the played
back wave has no tempo, synchronization is made with the Tempo of the effect parameter. In this case, synchronization
is not redone while any wave is played back.
