Editing Effects; G Dyna (Dynamics); G Eq (Equalizer) - Yamaha Silent Brass Personal Studio ST5 User Manual

Editing Effects

The ST5 is equipped with the six effect blocks describe
below. In the Edit mode (→ page ??) you can use the
+/- buttons to select an effect type, then use the Value
Dial to adjust the effect's parameter values.

G DYNA (Dynamics)

These effects alter the sound and change its level by am-
plifying or compressing the input signal.
You can select one of the four following effect types from
this effect block.
• COMP (Compresser):
The compressor controls the signal's dynamic range
making loud signals like attacks, etc. quieter and quiet
signals louder. It also adds sustain.
Use the Value Dial to adjust the amount of amplifica-
tion/compression.
• LIMIT (Limiter):
The limiter controls loud signals, reducing the gain
(volume) of any signal that exceeds the set level.
Use the Value Dial to adjust the level of the limiter.
• OVDRV (Overdrive):
Adds a mild distortion and attack to the sound.
Use the Value Dial to adjust the amount of distortion.
• DIST (Distortion):
Adds hard distortion to the sound.
Use the Value Dial to adjust the amount of distortion.

G EQ (Equalizer)

Equalization changes the character and sound quality of
the signal. The ST5 is equipped with a 4-band equalizer.
When the EQ block is set "ON", all four bands will be
active simultaneously.
• LOW:
Adjusts the low frequency (around 80Hz) gain.
Use the Value Dial to adjust low frequency gain.
• L-MID:
Adjusts the lower middle frequency (around 320Hz)
gain.
Use the Value Dial to adjust lower middle frequency
gain.
• H-MID:
Adjusts the upper middle frequency (around 1.26kHz)
gain.
Use the Value Dial to adjust upper middle frequency
gain.
