FX (Effects)
FLANGER
The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character to the
sound.
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
RATE
0–100, This sets the rate of the flanging 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 flanging effect.
MANUAL
0 –100 Adjusts the center frequency at which to ap-
ply the 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.
SEPARATION
0–100 Adjusts the diffusion. The diffusion increas-
es as the value increases.
LOW CUT (Low Cut Filter)
FLAT, 55 Hz–800 Hz This lets you cut the low-end component be-
low the set frequency to create a clear, dis-
tinct low end, thereby bringing out the high
end of the effect. When FLAT is selected, the
low cut filter will have no effect.
EFFECT LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the flanger.
DIRECT LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

TREML (Tremolo)
Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume.
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
WAVE SHAPE
0–100 Adjusts the curve for the volume change.
Raising the value makes the changes occur
more rapidly.
RATE
0–100, Adjusts the frequency (speed) of the change.
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 Adjusts the depth of the effect.
PAN
This is a stereo effect that pans the sound alternately between the left
and right outputs, making the sound fly back and forth between the
speakers.
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
WAVE SHAPE
0–100 Adjusts the curve for the volume change.
Raising the value makes the changes occur
more rapidly.
RATE
0–100, Adjusts the frequency (speed) of the change.
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 Adjusts the depth of the effect.
* The pan effect is cancelled if a monaural effect or COSM amp is
connected after the COSM bass.
