SECTION Ill: THE EFFECTS
With the ME-6B you can create your own sounds by combining effects and changing their parameters. In this section we'll
tell you about what each of the effects does, and what changes you can make with the parameters.
COMPRESSOR / ENHANCER
1
This effect "compresses" high input signals and "expands" low input signals (i.e. makes loud sounds
ENHANCER
a little softer and soft sounds a little louder). By making the overall volume more uniform, a distortion-
SUSTAIN
free sustain effect is produced. In addition, the "Enhancer" processes the harmonic components of a
———
sound and then mixes them with original sound before output. This fills out the sound and makes it
(0-15
{0=15)
SUSTAIN (0 to 15)
Expands low input signals and adjusts the range (time) over
which the volume is made more uniform. Larger values mean
longer sustain. With smaller values of this parameter, this
effect can be used as a "limiter" to suppress only the highest
input signals.
ATTACK (0 to 15)
Adjusts the picking time and attack intensity. Larger values
make the start of each note cleaner and improve articulation
of the sound.
OVERDRIVE/DISTORTION
° 2
distortion effects that you can tailor to match your needs.
MODE (1/2/3)
Selects the distortion type. Overdrive gives you a miid
distortion that sounds like it came from a tube amp. The
Distortions settings (1 and 2) give you a harder sound.
Mode 1:
Overdrive
Made 2:
Distortion 1
Mode 3:
Distortion 2
DRIVE (0 to 15)
This parameter adjusts the sound of the distortion. The larger
this number, the more intense the distortion effect.
TONE (-7 to +7)
Adjusts the timbre of the Overdrive/Distortion effect. Positive
values boost the treble, making it brighter.
ENHANCE FREQUENCY (1 to 3)
The higher this number, the higher the frequency range over
which the Enhancer effect is applied.
ENHANCE LEVEL (0 to 15)
Increasing this value increases the level of the enhanced
signal in the mix.
TOTAL LEVEL (0 to 15)
Adjusts the volume of the Compressor/Enhancer.
This is used
for adjusting the balance between effects as they are turned
'on and off.

DIRECT LEVEL

EFFECT LEVEL (0 to 15)
Adjusts the level of sound output by the Overdrive/Distor-
tion.
DIRECT LEVEL (0 to 15)
Adjusts the volume of the Direct sound.
