Effect Parameters

EFFECTS CATEGORY: SING

MEMO
Parameters marked with a
selected effect patch.

ENHANCE (EH)

ENHANCE is an effect that makes the sound more sharply defined.
It also contains COMP (COMPRESSOR) which makes the volume more
consistent, DE-ESS (DE-ESSER) which suppresses sibilance.

Explanation
Turns this effect on/off.
Adjusts the depth of ENHANCE.
The sound becomes more sharply
defined as this value is increased.
Adjusts the depth of COMPRESSOR.
The volume becomes more consistent as
this value is increased.
Adjusts the depth of DE-ESSER.
Sibilance is suppressed more strongly as
this value is increased.
Explanation
Turns this effect on/off.
Adjust this parameter as appropriate for
the volume of the noise.
If the noise level is high, a higher setting is
appropriate.
If the noise level is low, a lower setting is
appropriate.
Adjusts the time from when the noise
suppressor begins to function until the
noise level reaches "0".
Input volume from MIC 1, 2/INST L, R jacks.
* Ordinarily, DETECT should be set to
"INPUT".
Noise suppressor input volume.
* When connected as illustrated below,
and you want to prevent a spatial-type
effects sound (such as a delay sound)
from being eradicated by the NS, you
should set DETECT to "NS INPUT".

PITCH CORRECT (PCR)

PITCH CORRECT suppresses instabilities in pitch.
You can also convert pitch changes to a stair-step form, producing a
mechanical effect.

Explanation
Turns this effect on/off.
The pitch will be corrected smoothly.
The pitch will be corrected quickly.
Corrects pitch variation to a stair-step
change.
Corrects the pitch to the specified note
(Robot Voice).
The pitch is corrected to the nearest
chromatic semitone.
The pitch is corrected according to the
Key setting (p. 59).
Negative (–) settings give the voice a more
masculine character, while positive (+)
settings make the voice more feminine.
Specifies the amount by which the pitch
is shifted.
Adjusts the speed of pitch change.
Higher values produce faster change.
Adjusts the ease of pitch change.
Higher values make change more difficult.
Explanation
Turns this effect on/off.
Specifies the upper limit frequency at
which the harmony effect is applied.
* In an environment in which acoustic
feedback is prone to occur, using the
"LOW" setting can suppress unwanted
sound.
Adjusts the overall volume level of the
harmony.
Adjusts the volume of the sound of the
mic.
Turns the harmony part off.
This produces the impression that
another person is singing the same
melody along with you.
Adds sound an octave lower.
*1 Adds lower sound based on 6th–3rd.
*1 Adds higher sound based on 3rd–6th.
Adds sound an octave higher.
Adjusts the volume of the harmony part.
Adjusts the delay of the harmony part.
