Appendix

Slicer

This slices the sound up into small pieces, creating the impression that a backing phrase is being played.
This slices up the sound at certain intervals into 16 parts (16 steps), breaking the sound into a rhythm that follows the sequence
pattern (a pattern used for slicing up the sound). This is effective when used with sustaining sounds.
Parameter

0–100 (when the SYNC parameter is
OFF)
SPEED
2/1 to 1/64T (bars; when the SYNC
parameter is ON)
0–100
DEPTH
SHUFFLE
0–100
Sets how the volume changes when the next step sounds.
LEGATO

Tremolo/Pan

Cyclically varies the volume or panning.
Parameter
DEPTH
0–100
0–100 (when the SYNC parameter is OFF)
RATE
1.000–0.010 (when the SYNC parameter is
ON)
Sets the type of effect.
TYPE
Sets how the effect modulates the sound.
WAVE
OFF, ON
SYNC

Chromatic PS

A two-voice pitch shifter that changes the pitch in semitone steps.
Parameter
Value
PITCH1, PITCH2
-24–12 (semi)
BALANCE
100-0–0-100 (%)
PAN1, PAN2
L50–R50

Hyper-Reso

This is a resonator effect that is adjusted to make creating melodies and bass lines easier.
Parameter
-17– -1, 1–18
NOTE
136
Value
Value
TRE
PAN
TRI
SQR
SIN
SAW1, SAW2
TRP
Adjusts the amount that PITCH1 or PITCH2 is pitch-shifted.
Adjusts the volume balance between dry (the original sound) and effect sound.
Sets the panning of PITCH1 or PITCH2.
Value
Sets which note in the chromatic scale should resonate, counting from the
root of the SCALE value.
Explanation
Sets the sequence pattern.
Sets the period over which the sequence pattern repeats.
Sets the slicing depth. Larger settings make the slicing effect more
prominent.
Larger settings delay the timing of even-numbered steps (2, 4...).
The volume is not changed between steps.
The volume is reset to zero before the next step sounds (at the
boundary between steps).
When this is ON, the effect sound synchronizes with the tempo.
Sets the depth of the effect.
Sets the cycle (period) of the effect.
Cyclically changes the volume (tremolo).
Cyclically changes the panning.
Triangle wave
Square wave
Sine wave
Sawtooth wave
Trapezoidal wave
When this is ON, the effect sound synchronizes with the
tempo.
