Ns (Noise Suppressor) - Roland MV-8000 Owner's Manual

Effect Block

NS (Noise suppressor)

This suppresses noise (such as background noise and
hum from mics) when no sound is being played. The
noise suppressor watches at the input level at the top
of the chain of effects, and when there is no input,
turns down any output at the end.
1. Threshold
Value: 0–100
Sets the volume level at which starts muting. Set the
value higher when there is a lot of noise, and if there
is less noise, decrease the value.
2. Release
Value: 0–100
Sets the time from when the muting starts until the
volume reaches 0.
If the threshold level is set too low, the effect is lost;
when set too high, even the sounds you want will be
muted. In addition, if the release time is set too long,
the releasing noise becomes audible; when set too
short, it sounds unnatural. Set these to suitable
point for the input noise conditions at the time.
