[. . . ] The second parameter always adjusts the effect Dry/Wet Mix--this applies to all effects. Effect descriptions: FLANGER: A flanger effect occurs through frequency modulation. ECHO is similar to the delay effect, with the difference that the delayed signal is repeated several times. PITCH changes the pitch of the signal and therefore the pitch of the vocalist's and speaker's voice. You can match the time parameter of the flanger, phaser, delay and echo effects to the beat by tapping the tempo with the left TAP push button (50) as long as Mic Setup is displayed (MIC SETUP push button [16] shines when active).

The following effects are available: The Ultramic processor is a 2-band compressor that reduces the dynamic range of speech. The level of loud sounds is reduced and the level of quiet sounds is raised. This decreases the difference between the loudest and quietest passages. By splitting the signal into two frequency bands, a thicker, more powerful sound is achieved without the typical artifacts, such as pumping sound or a loss of clarity. For Mic 1, select the page "Ultramic 1" and choose "Ultramic 2" for Mic 2. The parameters on both pages are identical so that they only have to be described once. Three parameters of the compressor are adjustable plus you can also load presets.
