Distortion Parameters - Yamaha DX200 Owner's Manual

• Filter Cutoff Scailing
Range: -64 ... 63
This determines how the Filter Cutoff Frequency follows the keyboard. For a setting of
"0," the particular notes played on the keyboard have no effect on the Filter.
• Filter Input Gain
Range: -12 ... 12 (dB)
Determines the level of the signal sent to the Filter. If the Filter doesn't seem to have
much effect on the sound, try increasing this parameter. If the Filter effect seems too
boomy, loud or harsh, try decreasing this.

Distortion Parameters

Distortion lets you apply a wide variety of distortion and overdrive effects to the
sound, and simulate the effect of various guitar amplifiers and speakers.
• Distortion Switch
Range: On, Off
This turns the Distortion effect on or off.
• Distortion Drive
Range: 0 ... 100
This determines the amount of distortion "drive" for the guitar amplifier simulation effect
block. The higher the value, the greater the degree of distortion in the sound.
• Distortion Dry/Wet
Range: D63>W ... D=W ... D<W63
This determines the level balance of the unprocessed (dry) original sound of the pattern,
and the distortion processed (wet) sound. A setting of D=W results in an equal balance
of dry and wet sound. (In the display, "D" indicates "dry," and "W" indicates "wet.")
• Distortion Guitar Amp. Type
Settings: Off, Stack, Combo, Tube
This determines the type of guitar amplifier simulated by the Distortion effect. Each pro-
duces a slightly different distortion sound, recreating the characteristics of an actual
amplifier. "Stack" simulates a separate amp and speaker setup, "Combo" simulates a
single cabinet transistor amp and speaker, and "Tube" simulates a single cabinet tube
amp and speaker. When this is set to "Off," some of the guitar amplifier simulation effect
is cancelled (however, Distortion Drive and LPF are still applied to the sound).
• Distortion Low Pass Filter
Range: 1.0 kHz ... 18.0 kHz, Thru
This determines the frequency of the low pass filter that is applied to the distortion sound.
Depending on the Guitar Amp. Type setting, this parameter can be used to "fatten" the
sound or make it piercing and brittle. When this is set to "Thru," no filtering is applied to
the distortion sound.
• Distortion Output Level
Range: 0 ... 100
This determines the output volume of the distortion sound. Keep in mind that this may
not have any effect unless the Distortion Dry/Wet is set to an appropriate value.
