Types of SOUND COLOR FX effects

Effect Name Descriptions
Applies a reverberation effect
SPACE
to the original sound.
Applies an echo effect, with
the sound delayed slightly
after the original sound
DUB ECHO
output several times and
gradually attenuated.
Changes the texture of the
GATE/ COMP
overall sound.
White noise generated inside
this unit is mixed in to the
sound of the channel via the
filter and output.
! The volume can be
adjusted by turning the
NOISE
[TRIM] controls for the
respective channels. The
sound quality can be
adjusted by turning the
[EQ/ ISO (HI, MID, LOW)]
controls.
Changes the original sound
CRUSH to a crushed-like sound for
output.
Outputs sound that has
FILTER
passed through a filter.

Types of BEAT EFFECT

DELAY
1
A delay sound is output once according to the beat fraction set with the [BEAT c,
d] buttons.
When 1/2 beat delay sound is added, 4 beats become 8 beats.
Original
(4 beats)
1/2 delay
(8 beats)
BEAT c, d buttons (param- Use these to set a time delay of 1/8 – 16/1 with respect to the
eter 1) time of one beat of the BPM.
Use this to set the delay time.
TIME control (parameter 2)
1 to 4000 (ms)
LEVEL/ DEPTH control Use this to set the balance between the original sound and the
(parameter 3) delay sound.
X-PAD (parameter 4) Use this to set the delay time.
ECHO
1 2
A delay sound is output several times and gradually attenuated according to the
beat fraction set with the [BEAT c, d] buttons.
With 1/1 beat echoes, the delay sounds are faded out according to the track's tempo
even after the input sound has been cut.

COLOR control
Turn counterclockwise: Applies the rever-
beration effect to the mid- and low ranges.
Turn clockwise: Applies the reverberation
effect to the mid- and high ranges.
Turn counterclockwise: Applies the echo
effect to the mid-range only.
Turn clockwise: Applies the echo effect to the
high range only.
Turn counterclockwise: A gate effect makes
the sound tighter, with a reduced sense of
volume.
Turn clockwise: A compressor effect makes
the sound fatter, with an increased sense
of volume.
Turn counterclockwise: The cut-off frequency
of the filter through which the white noise
passes gradually decreases.
Turn clockwise: The cut-off frequency of the
filter through which the white noise passes
gradually increases.
Turn counterclockwise: Increases the
sound's distortion.
Turn clockwise: The sound is crushed before
passing through the high pass filter.
Turn counterclockwise: Gradually decreases
the low-pass filter's cutoff frequency.
Turn clockwise: Gradually increases the high-
pass filter's cutoff frequency.

BEAT c, d buttons (param- Use these to set a time delay of 1/8 – 16/1 with respect to the
eter 1) time of one beat of the BPM.
Use this to set the delay time.
TIME control (parameter 2)
1 to 4000 (ms)
LEVEL/ DEPTH control Use this to set the balance between the original sound and the
(parameter 3) echo sound.
X-PAD (parameter 4) Use this to set the delay time.
SPIRAL
1 2
This function adds a reverberation effect to the input sound.
When the delay time is changed, the pitch changes simultaneously.

Use this to set the delay time.
TIME control (parameter 2)
10 to 4000 (ms)
LEVEL/ DEPTH control Use this to set the balance between the original sound and the
(parameter 3) effect sound and to set the quantitative parameter.
X-PAD (parameter 4) Use this to set the delay time.
REVERB
1 2
This function adds a reverberation effect to the input sound.
Direct sound
Early reflected sound

BEAT c, d buttons (param- Use these to set the extent of the reverberation effect, from 1 –
100 %.
eter 1)
Use this to set the degree of the reverb effect.
TIME control (parameter 2)
1 – 100 (%)
LEVEL/ DEPTH control Sets the balance between the original sound and the effect
(parameter 3) sound.
X-PAD (parameter 4) Sets the filter's cut-off frequency.
TRANS
1
The sound is cut according to the beat fraction set with the [BEAT c, d] buttons.
Cut
1/1 beat
BEAT c, d buttons (param- Use these to set a cut time of 1/16 – 16/1 with respect to the time
eter 1) of one beat of the BPM.
Use this to set the effect time.
TIME control (parameter 2)
10 to 16000 (ms)
LEVEL/ DEPTH control Sets the balance between the original sound and the effect
(parameter 3) sound.
X-PAD (parameter 4) This sets the cut time.
