Page 44: Adding Depth And Spaciousness To The Sound (Effects)
(EFFECTS) You can use effects to add depth and spaciousness to the sound. The SH-201 provides two effects; DELAY (modulation delay) and REVERB. Effect types • DELAY: This produces a delayed repeat like an echo. You can also add modulation to the delayed sound.
Page 45: Time Knob
TIME knob fig.FXTIME-knob If the DELAY indicator is lit The knob adjusts the spacing between delay sounds (the delay time). Turning the knob toward the right lengthens the spacing. If the REVERB indicator is lit The knob adjusts the length of reverberation (the reverb time). Turning the knob toward the right produces the impression of a more spacious room.
Page 46: Combining Two Sounds (Dual/Split)
Combining two sounds (DUAL/SPLIT) One patch can contain two sounds, each with their own OSC, MIX/MOD, FILTER, AMP and LFO settings. This is just as though the SH-201 contained two synthesizers. These two sounds are called the UPPER tone and the LOWER tone.
Page 47: Playing Different Sounds In The Right And Left Hands (Split)
Playing different sounds in the right and left hands (SPLIT) The SPLIT setting will divide the keyboard into two halves so that you can play the UPPER tone in the right side and the LOWER tone in the left side. For example you could use this capability to play soft-sounding chords in the left hand while you play a sharp solo sound in the right hand, or use the left hand to play a synth bass while you play brass accents in the right hand.
Page 48: Saving A Sound You Create (Write)
A sound you create will change if you move the knobs or select a different patch. It will also be lost if you switch off the SH-201’s power. When you’ve created a sound you like, you should save it as a user patch.
