Humanizer; 3Band Isolator - Boss VF-1 Owner's Manual

HUMANIZER

This can create vowel sounds of the human beings using the
guitar sound.
This effect can be used in the "GUITAR MULTI 1" algorithm
when the MOD "SELECT" parameter is set to "HU."
* For details on MOD (Modulation) settings, refer to "About
MOD " (p.47).
MODE
This sets the mode that switches the vowels.
PICK (picking):
It changes from vowel 1 to vowel 2 along with the picking.
The time spent for the change is adjusted with the rate.
AUTO:
By adjusting the rate and depth, two vowels (Vowel 1 and
Vowel 2) can be switched.
RANDOM:
Five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) are called out at random by
adjusting the "RATE" and "DEPTH."
VOWEL [1]
This selects the first vowel.
VOWEL [2]
This selects the second vowel.
SENS (sensitivity)
This adjusts the sensitivity of the humanizer. When it is set to
a lower value, no effect of the humanizer is obtained with
weaker picking, while stronger picking produces the effect.
When it is set to a higher value, the effect of the humanizer
can be obtained whether the picking is weak or strong.
RATE
This adjusts the cycle for changing the two vowels.
* If this is set to BPM, the MASTER BPM (p.105) value set for
each patch will determine the cycle, so that the effect sound will
match the tempo of the song. However if the BPM value is high,
the effect will synchronize to 1/2 or 1/4 of the BPM value.
DEPTH
This adjusts the depth of the effect.
The function of each parameter
MANUAL
This determines the point where the two vowels are
switched.When it is set to "50," vowel 1 and vowel 2 are
switched in the same length of time. When it is set to lower
than "50," the time for vowel 1 is shorter. When it is set to
higher than "50," the time for vowel 1 is longer.
LEVEL
This sets the volume of the humanizer.

3BAND ISOLATOR

The input sound is separated into three frequency ranges —
high, mid, and low — each of which can be boost or cut. With
ordinary equalizers, even when the gain control for any of the
frequency ranges turned all the way down, some sound from
that range remains, whereas the VF-1's Isolator cuts it
completely. You may find turning the Isolator on and off or
adjusting the level in real time to be a very effective technique.
EFFECT
This parameter turns the 3-band isolator iso effect on/off.
AnitiPHASE LowLEVEL
(anti-phase low level)
AnitiPHASE MidLEVEL
(anti-phase middle level)
These set the level of the Anti-Phase function. Adjusting
these levels for certain frequencies allows you to lend
emphasis to specific parts.
LOW MIX SWITCH
(anti-phase low mix switch)
MID MIX SWITCH
(anti-phase middle mix switch)
These turn the low- and mid-range Anti-Phase function on
and off. When turned on, the phases of opposite stereo
channels are reversed and then added.
LOW LEVEL
MID LEVEL (middle level)
HIGH LEVEL
These boost and cut each of the Low, Mid, and High
frequency ranges. Setting any of these to "-60 dB," the
sounds in that range become inaudible. When set to "0 dB,"
the sound remains at the input level.
