PARAMETER

....................................................................................................................................................................................
Use the PARAMETER LCD dials to select the effect parameter you want to edit. The selected parameter will be
highlighted.
When the DSP(LEAD), DSP(R1), DSP(R2), or VOCAL HARMONY block is selected a second parameter will
appear below the main window. This window contains a parameter value which will apply only when the panel [DSP
VARIATION] or [HARMONY VARIATION] button is engaged. Use the [C] and [D] LCD buttons to switch back
and forth between the main and variation parameter windows.

VALUE

.....................................................................................................................................................................................................
The VALUE dials are used to adjust the value of the selected parameter as required.

LEVEL

....................................................................................................................................................
The LEVEL parameter appears only when the REVERB(1) or CHORUS(2) effect block
is selected, or when the DSP(3) effect block is selected and its "Connection" parameter
is set to "system". This is an EFFECT RETURN level control.

USER SET

............................................................................................................................................................................................
The effect USER SET function makes it possible to save up to 3 effect setups individually for the REVERB, CHORUS,
and VOCAL HARMONY DSPs, and up to 10 effect setups which are shared by the LEAD, R1, R2, and MIC DSPs.
The USER SET effects appear in the EFFECT TYPE "TYPE LIST".
After editing the effect parameters as required, select a USER SET number via the USER LCD dial, then press
the USER SET LCD button to memorize the edited settings in that USER SET number. The USER SET settings will
be retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the F8: UTILITY MEMORY BACKUP function (page
131) is turned ON.
The USER SET data can be saved to and loaded from disk as described on pages 140, 141.
THE TEMPO-DELAY EFFECTS
• The delay time of the tempo-delay effects (DelayLCR@T, DelayLR@T,
Echo@T, CrossDly@T) is linked to the TEMPO setting. The Delay
parameter determines to which beats the delay time will be synchro-
nized: 4th (quarter notes), 4th/3 (quarter note triplets), 4th. (dotted
quarter notes), and the same variations for 8th and 16th notes.
• A small amount of noise may be produced if one of the tempo-delay
effects is selected and the tempo is changed during playback.
• The upper delay-time limit of the tempo-delay effects is as follows.
Once the limit is reached decreasing the tempo will not result in a
corresponding increase in delay time.
DSP(3), DSP(LEAD), DSP(R1), DSP(R2)
• DelayLCR@T, DelayLR@T: 1484 msec (eg: Tempo less than 40 bpm
@ 4th)
• Echo@T, CrossDly@T: 742 msec (eg: Tempo less than 40 bpm @
8th)
DSP(MIC)
• DelayLCR@T, DelayLR@T: 742 msec (eg: Tempo less than 80 bpm
@ 4th)
• Echo@T, CrossDly@T: 371 msec (eg: Tempo less than 80 bpm @
8th)
The Mixing Console
• DSP(3) has a "Connection" parameter which can be
set to "system" or "insertion". When set to "system" the
effect applies to the overall accompaniment or song
sound. When set to "insertion" a "part" parameter
becomes available, allowing the effect to be applied to
a specific part.
• See the PSR-8000 EFFECT PARAMETER LIST on
page 191 in the appendix for details on the parameters
available for each effect, value ranges, etc. The Vocal
Harmony effect types and parameters are described
in the "Vocal Harmony" section, page 84.
• Also refer to the "Effect Signal Flow Chart" on page
176 for more imformation.
• The following abbreviations are used in the effect
parameters displays:
"cent" "c".
"degree" "d".
• A small amount of noise may be produced when some
parameters are edited.
• Extreme effect or EQ settings can result in distorted
sound. In such a case use the part volume parameters
to reduce the volume of the appropriate part(s).
