    APPENDIX B: FX TRACK PARAMETERS APPENDIX B: FX TRACK PARAMETERS In this appendix, the parameters of the FX track are shown and explained, one page at a time. B.1 DELAY The Delay send effect takes a duplicate of the input signal, delays it in time and then rejoins it with the origi- nal signal.
  • Page 76 APPENDIX B: FX TRACK PARAMETERS GAI (Shelving Gain) affects the damping of the reverberated signal above the shelving frequency set by the FRQ parameter. At max value, the treble is included in the reverberations; lowering the value and gradually dampens it. (0–127) HPF (HP Filter) sets the cutoff frequency of the reverb high-pass filter.
  • Page 77 APPENDIX B: FX TRACK PARAMETERS REL (Release) sets the time of the compressor release phase, i.e., how long it takes for the compression to recover in quieter moments. The time is set in seconds. Range (0.1–2, A1 or A2). A1 and A2 are two types of auto release phases, (A2) being slightly longer than (A1).
  • Page 78 APPENDIX B: FX TRACK PARAMETERS • HOLD makes the LFO run free in the background, but when a note is trigged the LFO output level is latched and held still until the next note is trigged. • ONE makes the LFO start from the beginning when a note is trigged, run for one cycle and then stop, making the LFO act like an envelope.
