Sitar Sim. (Sitar Simulator) - Boss GT-10 Owner's Manual

Chapter 8 Parameters Guide
Parameter/ Explanation
Range
PWM Depth (Pulse Width Modulation Depth) *2
Adjusts the depth of the PWM.
0–100
When it is set to "0," no PWM effect is obtained.
Cutoff (Cutoff Frequency)
Adjusts the frequency where the harmonics con-
0–100
tents of the sound are cut off.
Resonance
Adjusts how much of the harmonics contents
0–100 around the cutoff frequency should be empha-
sized.
FLT.Sens (Filter Sensitivity)
Adjusts the sensitivity of the filter. When it is set
to a lower value, the filter is affected only with
stronger picking. When it is set higher, the filter
0–100
changes even with 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.
FLT.Decay (Filter Decay)
This sets the time needed for the filter to finish
0–100
its sweep.
FLT.Depth (Filter Depth)
Adjusts the depth of the filter. When the value is
higher, the filter will change more drastically.
-100–+100
The polarity of the filter will be opposite with
"+" and "-."
Attack
Adjusts the time needed for a synthesizer sound
to reach its maximum.
When it is set to a lower value, the sound will
rise quickly. When it is set higher, the sound will
rise slowly. When it is set to "Decay," the sound
will rise quickly and turn to a Release status re-
Decay, 0–100
gardless of the input of the guitar sound.
When "Brass" or "Bow" is selected for the wave, the
attack time will not be quicker from a certain level
even if the attack is set to "Decay" or "0."
Release
This determines the time needed for the synthe-
sizer sound to reach zero from the moment the
input of the guitar sound is completed.
0–100
When "Brass" or "Bow" is selected for the wave, the
guitar signal itself is processed. That is, the synthesizer
sound will go down when the guitar signal goes down
no matter how long the release may be set.
Velocity
This adjusts the amount of the volume change of
the synthesizer sound.
When it is set to high, the volume change will be
0–100
greater depending on the picking strength.
When it is set to "0," no volume change is
caused even by changing the picking manner.

Parameter/ Explanation
Range
Hold *1
The hold function can sustain the output of the
synthesizer sound.
If you turn on the hold while a synthesizer
sound is being output, the synthesizer sound
Off, On
will be held until you turn it off.
It is assumed that this parameter will be assigned (p.
126) to the footswitch.
Synth Lev (Synth Level)
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the synthesizer sound.
DirectLev (Direct Level)
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
*1 Parameter setting included when Wave is set to "Square" or "Saw."
*2 Parameter setting included when Wave is set to "Square."

SITAR SIM. (Sitar Simulator)

This simulates the sound of the sitar.
Parameter/ Explanation
Range
Tone
This adjusts the tone.
-50–+50
The high end is boosted as the value increases.
Sens (Sensitivity)
Adjusts the sensitivity of the sitar.
When it is set to a lower value, no effect of the si-
tar is obtained with weaker picking, while stron-
0–100
ger picking produces the effect. When it is set to
a higher value, the effect of the sitar can be ob-
tained whether the picking is weak or strong.
Depth
0–100 This adjusts the amount of effect applied.
Resonance
0–100 This adjusts the undulation of the resonance.
Buzz
Adjusts the amount of characteristic buzz pro-
0–100 duced by the "buzz bridge" when the strings
make contact with it.
EffectLev (Effect Level)
0–100 Adjust the volume of the sitar sound.
DirectLev (Direct Level)
0–100 Adjust the volume of the direct sound.
