RIBBON

PITCH
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
T-ARM CH (Tremolo Arm Channel)
This selects the channel to which the tremolo T-ARM is applied.
A
T-ARM is applied only to Channel A.
B
T-ARM is applied only to Channel B.
A+B
T-ARM is applied to both Channel A and B.
TYPE
This selects the T-ARM type.
S-TYPE
This simulates the characteristics of a
synchronized-type tremolo arm on the
Fender Stratocaster.
B-TYPE
This simulates a Bigsby-type tremolo arm
on the Gibson or the Rickenbacker.
F-TYPE
This simulates the characteristics of a Floyd
Rose's locking-type tremolo arm.
TRANS
This simulates how a Trans-tremolo type
arm changes the pitch of all the strings
equally.
DOWN MIN (Down Minimum)
-50–+50
This sets the pitch when the RIBBON CON-
(S-TYPE, B-TYPE, F-
TROLLER is pressed at the end closest to the
TYPE)
front. Setting a negative value raises the
pitch, while setting a positive value lowers
-24–+24
the pitch.
(TRANS)
DOWN MAX (Down Maximum)
-50–+50
This sets the pitch when the RIBBON CON-
(S-TYPE, B-TYPE, F-
TROLLER is pressed at the end farthest
TYPE)
from the front. Setting a negative value rais-
es the pitch, while setting a positive value
-24–+24
lowers the pitch.
(TRANS)
FILTER
This passes only portions of the sound's frequency ranges, giving the
sound a unique tone. You can add different types of expression to
the sound by changing the frequencies (pitches) that are passed.
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
FILTER CH (Filter Channel)
This selects the channel to which the filter is applied.
A
The filter is applied only to Channel A.
B
The filter is applied only to Channel B.
A+B
The filter is applied to both Channel A and B.
TYPE
This selects the filter type.
LPF
This filter passes only the low frequencies.
BPF
This filter passes frequencies only in the
specified range.
HPF
This filter passes only the high frequencies.
138
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
FREQ MIN (Frequency Minimum)
0–100
This sets the frequency when the RIBBON
CONTROLLER is touched at the end closest
to the front (the minimum value). Raising
the value increases the set frequency.
FREQ MAX (Frequency Maximum)
0–100
This sets the frequency when the RIBBON
CONTROLLER is touched at the end away
from the front (the maximum value). Rais-
ing the value increases the set frequency.
RESO (Resonance)
0–100
Adjusts the amount of filter resonance (dis-
tinctiveness of the sound) used. Raising the
value strengthens the characteristic coloring
of the tone.
LEVEL
0–100
Adjusts the volume level. Raising the value
increases the volume.
ASSIGNABLE
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
SW
OFF, ON
This setting switches RIBBON ASSIGN-
ABLE on and off.
TARGET PARAMETER
This selects the parameter to be changed.
MIN (Minimum)
This sets the minimum value for the range in which the parameter
can change.
The value differs depending on the parameter assigned for TARGET
PARAMETER.
MAX (Maximum)
This sets the maximum value for the range in which the parameter
can change.
The value differs depending on the parameter assigned for TARGET
PARAMETER.
SW MODE (Switch Mode) *1
This sets the behavior of the value each time the switch is operated.
MOMENT
The setting is normally OFF (minimum val-
ue), switching to ON (maximum value)
while the footswitch is held down.
LATCH
The setting alternately switches to OFF
(minimum value) and ON (maximum val-
ue) each time the footswitch is pressed.
RANGE LOW, RANGE HIGH *2
Low: 0–126
You can set the range for control of target
High: 1–127
parameters within the RIBBON CONTROL-
LER's response range. Target parameters
are controlled within the range set with
RANGE LOW and RANGE HIGH. You
should normally set RANGE LOW to 0 and
RANGE HIGH to 127.
*1
Setting available with SOURCE set to RIBBON ACT.
*2
Setting available with SOURCE set to RIBBON POS.
