Explanation
The effect won't be applied.
Repeats the sound.
This is a delay whose delay time is
specified in terms of a note value relative
to the tempo. You can also synchronize it
to the metronome tempo.
Simulates a tape-type echo unit of the
past.
Adds spaciousness and depth to the
sound.
It gives no impression of modulation, but
produces a transparent chorus effect.
A phase-shifted sound is added to the
original sound and modulated.
The phaser effect will be varied
gradually.
It produces a metallic resonance that
rises and falls like a jet airplane taking off
or landing.
This is a flanger in which the flanger
pitch changes in steps.
Adds reverberation to the sound,
simulating an acoustic space.
This is a very rich sounding reverb.
Adjusts the tonal character.
No. Name Explanation
13 COMPRESSOR Smoothing out fluctuations in volume.
Producing a rougher tonal character and
14
SATURATOR boosting the loudness. This also cuts the
low-frequency region of the input audio.
This is a filter with an extremely sharp
15
FILTER slope. The cutoff frequency can be varied
cyclically.
Cuts the high-frequency range, and adds
16 FILTER+DRIVE
distortion.
Produces a wah effect (a cyclic shift in
17
AUTO WAH
frequency emphasis).
This is an effect that intentionally
18 LO-FI COMPRESS degrades the sound quality for creative
purposes.
19
OVERDRIVE Mildly distorts the sound.
20
DISTORTION Intensely distorts the sound.
21 BIT CRUSH Produces an extreme lo-fi effect.
Creating unique effects by cutting the
22
ISOLATOR
volume of specific frequency regions.
A ring modulator that varies the
23 RING MOD modulated frequency in a stepwise
manner.
24 PITCH SHIFT Shifts the pitch of the original sound.
Cyclically modulates the stereo location
25 AUTO PAN
of the sound.
