Explanation
Adjusts the sensitivity of the sitar . When it is
set to a lower value, no effect of the sitar is
obtained with weaker picking, while stronger
picking produces the effect . When it is set
to a higher value, the effect of the sitar can
be obtained whether the picking is weak or
strong .
This adjusts the amount of effect applied .
This adjusts the tone . The high end is boosted
as the value increases .
Adjust the volume of the sitar sound .
This adjusts the undulation of the resonance .
Adjusts the amount of characteristic buzz
produced by the "buzz bridge" when the
strings make contact with it .
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound .
Explanation
B1 (corresponds to the sound of an open 7th
string) to E6 (corresponds to the 1st string
played at the 24th fret)
B1 (corresponds to the sound of an open 7th
string) to E5 (corresponds to the 1st string
played at the 12th fret)
B1 (corresponds to the sound of an open 7th
string) to E4 (corresponds to the sound of an
open 1st string)
B1 (corresponds to the sound of an open 7th
string) to E3 (corresponds to the 4th string
played at the 2nd fret)
Adjusts the volume of the sound one octave
below .
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound .

EFFECT
Explanation
One-voice pitch-shifted sound output in
monaural .
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (PS1, PS2)
output in monaural .
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (PS1, PS2)
output through left and right channels .
Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (the
amount of interval) in semitone steps .
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound .
The response is slower in the order of FAST,
MEDIUM and SLOW, but the modulation is
lessened in the same order .
MONO is used for inputting single notes .
* You may be unable to produce the
intended effect when playing chords (two
or more notes played simultaneously) .
Make fine adjustments to the interval . The
amount of the change in the Fine 100 is
equivalent to that of the Pitch 1 .
Adjusts the time from when the direct sound
is heard until the pitch shifted sounds are
heard . Normally you can leave this set at 0
ms .
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according to the
value of the "MASTER BPM" specified for
each patch . This makes it easier to achieve
effect sound settings that match the tempo
of the song .
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than
the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4
of that time .
Adjusts the volume of the pitch shifter .
Adjusts the feedback amount of the pitch
shift sound .
