WANDER
WANDER sets the amount of wander in each direction
that the delay will move.
NUMBER
NUMBER sets the number of voices used.
PREDELAY
PREDELAY sets the delay before the effect begins.

INPUT BLEND (labeled "MON")
INPUT BLEND allows manipulation of the input config-
uration, from normal stereo through mono, to reverse
stereo. The Effects algorithm operates in true stereo.
When INPUT BLEND is set to stereo, the left output is
derived only from the left input, and the right output is
derived only from the right input. So if you are trying to
create an effect with sound movement from one output
to the other, INPUT BLEND should be set to mono.
FEEDBACK LEVEL
FEEDBACK LEVEL controls the level of signals recir-
culated back to the input. Increasing the amount of
feedback can create interesting resonant effects.
FEEDBACK DELAY
FEEDBACK delay sets the delay that occurs between
signal input and the onset of feedback. Try setting
FEEDBACK DELAY to the same value as LENGTH for
interesting effects.
DIFFUSION
DIFFUSION spreads out the input signal over time,
turning sharp transients such as clicks into swishing
sounds.

INPUT DELAY
INPUT DELAY adds delay only to the dry signal path—
it has no effect on the wet signal path. This effectively
allows you to "live in the past," since by delaying the
input you can add an effect that happens before the dry
signal is heard. This only works if you use WET/DRY
MIX to mix the effect with the dry signal. Using the
console to mix will negate the effectiveness of the
INPUT DELAY.
WET/DRY MIX
WET/DRY MIX controls the ratio of direct vs. effect
signal in the output from a program. When the 480L is
patched into a console, this control should almost
always be set to 100% wet. When an instrument is
plugged directly into a 480L, or when the Cascade
configuration is in use, a setting between 45 and 60%
is a good starting point for experimentation with this
parameter.
WET/DRY MIX is a sine/cosine fade. Practically
speaking, this means that MIX can be adjusted over its
range with little or no change in output level. When you
control mix at the console, adding effect to the dry
signal increases overall level.
Use of INPUT DELAY can produce effects that actually
happen before the dry signal. When producing these
effects, you must use WET/DRY MIX--controlling the
mix at the console will negate the effect of the input
delay. (See INPUT DELAY for more details).

HIGH PASS (Left and Right)
High PASS adjusts a 12 dB/octave filter on each input
channel to attenuate low frequencies.
SIGNS
When the Signs parameter is set to 1, a significant
increase in output gain can occur.
