Chapter 8 Parameters Guide

PHASER

By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the
phaser effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the
sound.
Parameter/ Explanation
Range
Type
Selects the number of stages that the phaser effect will use.
This is a four-phase effect. A light phaser
4 Stage
effect is obtained.
This is an eight-phase effect. It is a popu-
8 Stage
lar phaser effect.
This is a twelve-phase effect. A deep
12 Stage
phase effect is obtained.
This is the phaser with two phase shift cir-
Bi-Phase
cuits connected in series.
Rate
0–100,
This sets the rate of the phaser effect.
BPM –BPM
When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set accord-
ing to the value of the "Master BPM" (p. 122) 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.
Depth
0–100 Determines the depth of the phaser effect.
Manual
Adjusts the center frequency of the
0–100
phaser effect.
Resonance
Determines the amount of resonance
(feedback). Increasing the value will em-
0–100
phasize the effect, creating a more unusu-
al sound.
Step Rate
This sets the cycle of the step function that
changes the rate and depth.
Off, 0–100,
When it is set to a higher value, the
BPM –BPM
change will be finer. Set this to "Off"
when not using the Step function.
When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set accord-
ing to the value of the "Master BPM" (p. 122) 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.
EffectLev (Effect Level)
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the phaser.
DirectLev (Direct Level)
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

FLANGER

The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character
to the sound.
Parameter/ Explanation
Range
Rate
0–100,
This sets the rate of the flanging effect.
BPM –BPM
When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according
to the value of the "Master BPM" (p. 122) 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.
Depth
0–100 Determines the depth of the flanging effect.
Manual
Adjusts the center frequency at which to ap-
0–100
ply the effect.
Resonance
Determines the amount of resonance (feed-
0–100 back). Increasing the value will emphasize
the effect, creating a more unusual sound.
Sepration (Separation)
Adjusts the diffusion. The diffusion increas-
0–100
es as the value increases.
Low Cut (Low Cut Filter)
This sets the frequency at which the low cut
Flat, 55Hz–800Hz filter begins to take effect. When "Flat" is se-
lected, the low cut filter will have no effect.
EffectLev (Effect Level)
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the flanger.
DirectLev (Direct Level)
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
