Modulation/Delay Module - Zoom B1 Operation Manual

Effect Types and Parameters
■

MODULATION/DELAY module

This module comprises modulation and delay effects such as chorus, flanger, delay, etc. For
this module, the two items MODULATION/DELAY (effect type & parameter 1) and RATE/TIME
(parameter 2) can be set separately.
MODULATION/DELAY
(Type&Prm1)
Selects the MODULATION/
DELAY module effect type and
controls parameter 1 at the same
time.
Chorus
This effect mixes a variable pitch-
shifted component to the original
C 1 C 9
signal, resulting in full-bodied
resonating sound. Higher right-digit
setting values result in higher effect
sound level.
Ensemble
This is a chorus ensemble with three-
E 1 E 9
dimensional movement. Higher right-
digit setting values result in higher
effect sound level.
Flanger
This effect produces a resonating and
F 1 F 9
strongly undulating sound. Higher
right-digit setting values emphasize the
characteristics of the effect.
Step
Special effect that changes the sound
S 1 S 9
in a staircase pattern. Higher right-
digit setting values emphasize the
characteristics of the effect.
Mono Pitch
This is a monophonic pitch shifter (for
M 1 M 9
single-note playing) with reduced
flutter. Higher right-digit setting values
increase the level of the effect sound.
HPS (Harmonized Pitch
Shifter)
This is an intelligent pitch shifter that
H 1 H 9 automatically shifts the pitch of the
original sound along a major scale,
based on a preset key. Higher right-
digit setting values increase the level of
the effect sound.

RATE/TIME (Prm2)
Sets the value of parameter 2 for
the MODULATION/DELAY
module.
Rate
1 5 0
Adjusts the modulation rate.
Rate
TAP
1 5 0
Adjusts the modulation rate.
Shift
2 1
D T
Sets the pitch shift amount in
1 1 2
semitones. "dt" results in a detune
effect.

Vibrato
This is an automatic vibrato effect.
C 1 C 9
V 1 V 9
Higher right-digit setting values result
in deeper vibrato.
Pitch Bend
This effect allows using the expression
pedal to change the pitch in real time.
B 1 B 9
Right-digit setting values select the
pitch change type caused by the
expression pedal (see Table 1).

Detune
By adding a slightly pitch-shifted
harmonic component to the input
N 1 N 9
signal, this effect produces a sound
reminiscent of a 12-string guitar.
Higher setting values increase the level
of the effect sound.
Delay
This is a long delay with a maximum
D 1 D 9
setting of 5000 ms. Higher right-digit
setting values increase the level of the
effect sound and the feedback amount.
Tape Echo
This effect simulates a tape echo with a
long delay time of up to 5000 ms. The
T 1 T 9
right-digit setting values determine the
level of the effect sound and the
feedback amount.

Rate
TAP
1 5 0
Adjusts the modulation rate.
Pedal Position
Sets the initial value for the pitch shift
amount (the value that is active when
0 1 0
the pedal is at rest). The original
sound/effect sound level balance also
changes according to the parameter 1
setting (see Table 1).

Fine
0 2 5
Allows fine-tuning of pitch shift in 1/
100 semitone units.
Time
TAP
Sets the delay time. In the 10 - 1000
millisecond range, the adjustment is
1 5 0
performed in 10-ms steps (1 - 99,1.0).
Above 1 second, the adjustment is
performed in 100-ms steps (1.1 - 5.0).
