Adding Power, Spaciousness, And Reverb (Effects); Modulation Effects - Roland GAIA Synthesizer SH-01 Owner's Manual

Adding Power, Spaciousness, and
Reverb (EFFECTS)
"Effects" allow you to modify or enhance the sound in
various ways, such as by adding reverberation or delaying
the sound.
The GAIA SH-01 provides five different effects—DIST,
FLANGER, DELAY, REVERB, and LOW BOOST—which
give you a broad range of possibilities for modifying or
enhancing the sound.

Distortion effects
These are effects that distort the sound. They are
particularly suitable for lead sounds.
[DIST] button
This is a guitar amp simulator that reproduces the thick
and powerful sound containing numerous overtones that
is often heard from electric guitars.
The sound will be mono even if the tone is panned.
[FUZZ] button
This is a guitar amp simulator with a different character of
distortion than produced by DIST.
The sound will be mono even if the tone is panned.
[BIT CRASH] button
This drops the bit depth or sampling rate, producing a
distortion characteristic of low-fi digital devices.

Modulation effects

Modulation means to vary the sound in a cyclic manner.
By adding various sounds to the direct sound, you can
produce more spaciousness and depth.
[FLANGER] button
This applies modulation to the direct sound, producing an
effect that is reminiscent of a jet airplane taking off and
landing.
[PHASER] button
This adds a phase-shifted sound to the direct sound,
producing a phasing effect that gives the sound a sense of
rotation.
[PITCH SHIFTER] button
This adds a sound of a different pitch to the direct sound,
producing the impression that chords are being played
even if you're actually playing single notes.
Delay
Delay is an effect that delays the sound to create echo
effects. By layering the delay sound with the direct sound,
you can give the sound more depth and spaciousness.
[DELAY] button
This produces a stereo delay effect.
[PANNING DELAY] button
This is a delay for use only with stereo output. The delay
time is distributed between the L and R channels.
