However, the explanation does not overlap for the use of the parameters which is common to another Effect Cornpressor+distortion Effect Module 1 : (COMP+DIST) This Effect Module uses a compressor and distortion effects. The compressor is an effect which maintains the volume at a certain level without loosing a sense of tone and attack.
  • Page 27 [Parameter] (1)COMP (Compressor): 0 DlST (Distortion) This Effect Type gives the same hard distortion as that when a large amplifier is driven fully with sounds at high level. [Parameter] (1)COMP (Compressor): 0 Module Effect Equalizer (EQ) This Effect Module includes two Effect Types to control the tone of sounds. EQ (Equalizer) This Effect Type is a tone-control-type equalizer which boosts or cuts high frequencies and low frequencies independently.

  • Page 29 This parameter determines the amount of boost for the frequency to be set with the following FREQP parameter. (2) FREQ (Frequency): 0 T h i s parameter determines the center frequency to be boosted (3) PEAK (Peak): 0 to 10 This parameter determines the range of the sound boosted.
  • Page 30 0 CHORS2 (Chorus 2) This Effect 'l[Lpe gives a stereo chorus effect A maximum the sound. effect is obtained when played back with a stereo amplifier system. [Parameter] Type CHORS The parameters are the same as those for the Effect 1 above.
  • Page 31 (3) SPD (Speed): This parameter speeds up the effect six times for a special effect, by setting the parameter value to 1. %2$f#d This effect is similar t o that obtainable with the sample & hold function of a synthesizer. Setting the speed to gives an SFX-likeeffect to the sound.
  • Page 32 To obtain a clear metallic sound, set COMP+DIST CLEAN (the Effect Type with the distortion set to off), and play back with a pure tone. Effect Module 4: Delay (DLY) This Effect Module adds an echo sound to the direct sound. Only one Effect Type available.
  • Page 33 Effect Module 5: Reverb (REV) This Effwt Module includes three Effect I)rpes which give a reverb effect to the sound. REV1 (Reverb 1) This Effect Type is a Hall-type reverb effect, suited to adding rich ambience to the sound. [Parameter] (1)TIME: 0 to 10 This parameter determines the time it takes for the reverberation to decay.
