Delay; Modulation - Korg ELECTRIBER ER-1 Owner's Manual

Level
Adjust the output level. Rotating the knob toward the right
will increase the volume. For the Accent part, this will ad-
just the Accent Level (the degree to which the volume will
be emphasized when Accent is on). (Refer to p.27 "Adding
accents to a rhythm pattern.")
Low Boost
This emphasizes the low-frequency range of each part. If
you notice distortion (clipping) in the sound, adjust this
parameter. Setting this parameter to the maximum (far right)
allows it to function as a distortion effect.
Depending on the settings of Level and other pa-
rameters, raising the Low Boost may damage your
speakers or headphones etc., so please use ap-
propriate caution.

DELAY

Delay is an effect that adds one or more delayed "echoes" to the
sound. The delay effect of the ER-1 is a "cross-feedback delay."
This feeds the delayed L and R signal back into the opposite
side to produce a greater feeling of spaciousness from left to
right.
By using the Type key to switch the type of delay, you can record
delay knob movements as a Motion Sequence, or use the effect
as a Tempo Delay.

Right input
The delay effect will apply to the entire rhythm pattern,
and it is not possible to change the effect independently
for each part.
Type Motion Seq, Tempo Delay
Each time you press the key, the effect will alternate be-
tween Normal (LED dark), Motion Seq, and Tempo Delay.
When Normal is selected, the effect will function as a con-
ventional delay.
Motion Seq (motion sequence)
The motion sequence will control the delay (refer to p.28
"Motion Sequence").
Tempo Delay
The delay time will automatically be adjusted (synchro-
nized) to the tempo of the pattern. If the MIDI Clock setting
is "Ext," the delay time can also be synchronized to the clock
of an external device. (Refer to p.38 "Synchronizing the ER-
1 to a master external MIDI device.")
Depth
Adjust the level of the delay sound and the amount of feed-
back (the number of delay repeats).
Rotating the knob toward the right will increase the level of
the delay sound, and will also increase the amount of feed-
back.
The further left or right the Pan of each part is set, the more
the sound will be spread to left and right.
Raising the Depth excessively may cause the sound
to distort (clip).
Time (delay time)
0...100
Specify the delay time. Rotating the knob toward the right
will lengthen the delay time. Rotating the knob toward the
left to shorten the delay time will produce a "doubling" ef-
fect (an impression as though multiple instruments are play-
ing in unison).
If the Type parameter is set to Tempo Delay, this parameter
0...100
will let you set the tempo in terms of sixteen different mul-
tiples of the tempo: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1, 1.33, 1.5, 2,
2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8.

Modulation

Ring Mod (ring modulation)
You can apply a ring modulation effect between two parts.
Each time you press this key, the setting will alternate between
on (lit) and off (dark). By applying this to the Percussion Syn-
thesizer parts you can create metallic sounds with a rich over-
tone structure. By inputting a voice to an Audio In jack, you can
use ring modulation to transform the voice to a robot-like char-
acter.

0...100
(for tempo delay) 1/4...8
If you change the delay time during playback, the
pitch of the delayed sound will change.
Depending on the tempo setting, it may be impos-
sible to set the delay time. In such cases, set the
delay time to half the desired value.
AUDIO IN 1
AUDIO IN 2
Ring modulation can be applied only between the PER-
CUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 and 2, or between the
PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 4 and AUDIO IN 1 and 2.
The effect may be difficult to notice if the level of one
signal is too low, or if the decay time is too short.
When the ring modulation effect is on, the level and
pan settings of PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 or of
AUDIO IN 1 and 2 parts will take priority.
When ring modulation is on, no sound will be output
unless both parts are played simultaneously.
Depending on the settings of both parts, very loud
sounds may be output. Please adjust the level of each
part appropriately.
The tone and volume of Ring Modulation may vary de-
pending on the timing at which Percussion Synthesizer
1 and 2 are sounded.
