< When "Acoustic Guitar Simula-
tor" is selected >
Top
This adjusts the interference to the strings made by the top
plate. That is, it adjusts the attack sense or harmonic contents.
Body
This adjusts the resonance of the sound caused by the body.
That is, it adjusts the softness and fatness of the sound which
is the typical characteristics of acoustic guitars.
Level
This adjusts the volume of the acoustic guitar simulator.
« When "Guitar Synth" is selected »
When you use a guitar synthesizer, observe the following
points.
* Itdoesnot work properly when a chord is played. Be sure to mute
all the other strings and play in a single note.
* When you are to play the next string while a certain sound is still
playing, perfectly mute the previous sound then play the next one
with a clear attack.
* If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound correctly.
Sensitivity
This adjusts the input sensitivity. The response of the internal
sound source is better with a higher sensitivity value, but the
malfunctions will be increased on the other hand. So, try to
set it as high as possible without causing malfunction.
Wave
This selects a wave type that is the source of the guitar
synthesizer.
Square
(LIU:
The unit detects the pitch and attack information from the
input guitar sound, then send the square waveform from
the internal sound source.
Saw ( 771):
Theunit detects the pitch and attack information from the
input guitar sound, then send the saw waveform from the
internal sound source.
Brass:
The unit directly processes the input guitar sound and
creates a guitar synthesizer sound. It gives a quick sound
rise and send the sound with a sharp edge.
Bow:
The unit directly processes the input guitar sound and
creates a guitar synthesizer sound. It outputs a soft sound
without attack.
Chromatic
This switches on or off the Chromatic function. When itis on,
the pitch change of the synthesizer sound is in semitone steps.
This does not respond to pitch changes less than a semitone,
such as what might be obtained with bending or vibrato.
Thus, this is effectively used for realistically playing musical
instruments whose pitch will change in steps greater than a
semitone, such as a keyboard.
* Use this parameter when "Square" or "Saw" is selected for Wave.
Octave Shift
This allows you to shift the pitch of the internal sound module
in an octave step from the guitar sound.
* This parameter should be set when "Square" or "Saw" is selected
for the Wave.
PWM Rate (Pulse Wise Modulation Rate)
This gives breadth or fatness to the sound by applying
modulation to the waveform (only to Square) in the internal
sound module. A higher value will quicken the rate of the
modulation.
* This parameter should be set only when "Square" is selected for
the Wave.
PWM Depth (Pulse Wise Modulation Depth)
This adjusts the depth of the PWM. When it is set to "0," no
PWM effect is obtained.
* This parameter should be set only when "Square" is selected for
the Wave.
Cutoff Frequency
This adjusts the frequency where the harmonics contents of
the sound is cut off.
Resonance
This adjusts how much of the harmonics contents around the
cutoff frequency should be emphasized.
Filter Sensitivity
This adjusts the sensitivity of the filter. When itis setto a lower
value, the filter is affected only with a stronger picking. When
it is set higher, the filter changes even with a weaker picking.
When it is set to "0," the depth of the filter will be the same
no matter how the picking strength may be.
Filter Decay
This sets the time needed until the filter change will be stable.
Filter Depth
This adjusts the depth of the filter. When the value is higher,
thefilter will change more drastically. The polarity of the filter
will be opposite with "+" and "-."
