PHASER
By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the phaser
effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound.
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
TYPE
Selects the number of stages that the phaser effect will use.
4STG This is a four-phase effect. A light phaser ef-
fect is obtained.
8STG This is an eight-phase effect. It is a popular
phaser effect.
12STG This is a twelve-phase effect. A deep phase
effect is obtained.
BI-PHS This is the phaser with two phase shift cir-
cuits connected in series.
RATE
0–100, This sets the rate of the phaser effect.
BPM –BPM
When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according
to the value of the BPM (p. 142) specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable
settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that
time.
DEPTH
0–100 Determines the depth of the rotation effect.
MANUAL
0–100 Adjusts the center frequency of the rotation
effect.
RESO (Resonance)
0–100 Determines the amount of resonance (feed-
back).
Increasing the value will emphasize the ef-
fect, creating a more unusual sound.

STEP RATE

OFF, 0–100, This sets the cycle of the step function that
changes the rotation. When it is set to a high-
BPM –BPM
er value, the change will be finer. Set this to
Off when not using the Step function.
When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according
to the value of the BPM (p. 142) specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable
settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that
time.
EFFECT LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the phaser.
DIRECT LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
