2) Mic Effects

There are five different Mic Effects available to enhance the audio signal (Voice or instrument sound) coming from
the microphone jack. All effects, except the Echo/Vibrato, operate independently of one another. The Mic Effects
function is separate from the Effects assigned to the keyboard Parts. Therefore, you can use different effects on
the keyboard sounds and on Vocal/instrument sounds from the microphone.

MIC LEVEL
The equalizer allows you to adjust the tonal Character of the Mic input (voice, instrument, etc) by raising or lowering the
volume level of the High, Mid and Low frequencies separately. Raising the Values increases the level of the frequency.
Lowering the values reduces the level of the frequency.
This effect mutes the signal from the Mic input (Voice, Instrument, etc) when the input level (volume) falls below a specified
setting. This is useful for cutting out softer, extraneous background noise (cars, air conditioners, etc) while still allowing
the desired, louder signal (Vocal, instrument etc.) to be heard. This can also be very useful for recording to CD-R/MP3
in a noisy room.
Higher Gate settings cut out more background noise. 0 - All sounds are heard. 100 - Almost no sound is heard.
Adds delay or echoes to the sound.
Time - Determines the delay time between each echo. Higher values add longer delays.
Level - Determines the volume of the first echo. Each echo will become softer after that. Higher values create
louder echoes.
Feedback - Determines how many echoes will be heard after the first echo. Higher settings produce more
echoes.
Adds a controlled vibrato to the sound.
Rate - Determines how fast the vibrato will be. Higher values produce faster vibrato.
Depth - Determines how strong the vibrato effect will be. Higher values produce deeper vibrato.
Adds reverberation to the sound simulating the ambience of a stage or concert hall. Reverb can be used along with the
above effects. Higher settings add more Reverb.
Echo and Vibrato cannot be used together.
