[. . . ] Owner's Manual E 1 Precautions Location Using the unit in the following locations can result in a malfunction. · In direct sunlight · Locations of extreme temperature or humidity · Excessively dusty or dirty locations · Locations of excessive vibration · Close to magnetic fields THE FCC REGULATION WARNING (for U. S. A. ) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. [. . . ] Depending on the tempo setting, some short delay times may not be available. In this case, the delay time will be doubled, and may be doubled again if necessary. If you lower the time value too far, the sound may distort (clip). GRAIN SHIFTER (Grain shifter) This effect samples an extremely brief portion of the sound at a certain interval, and repeatedly plays back this brief sample. It is effective when applied to a constantly-changing source such as Audio In. Sampling interval SHORT DELAY (Short delay) Sampling time Input audio This is a cross delay with a short delay time. It is not synchronized with the BPM. FX EDIT1: Time . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0. . . 127 Sets the delay time. Shortening the delay time can produce a doubling effect, giving the impression that multiple instruments are playing together.

When the BPM changes, the length per step will also change, so the sampling interval will change together with this. The following table shows how the sampling interval corresponds with the speed value. SPEED 0­1 2­5 6­9 10­13 14­21 22­25 26­33 34­37 38­41 42­49 50­53 54­83 84­127 Sampling interval (number of steps) 128 32 16 12 8 6 4 3 8/3 2 4/3 1 9/10 . . . 1/10 (in 21 steps) tern/song for which you selected this effect, set the speed to 0, and wrote the settings into memory may sound differently the next time you select the pattern/song. PHASER (Phaser) This effect creates a sense of modulation by cyclically varying the phase of the sound and mixing this phase-shifted sound with the original sound.

If the depth setting is too high, distortion may occur for some input sounds. If you set the speed setting at 0, the LFO will stop at that position (phase). The position (phase) at which the LFO stops is not written into the pattern/song data. In addition, the state (phase) of the LFO is reset when you switch to this effect from a different effect type. This means that a pattern/song for which you selected this effect, set the speed to 0, and wrote the settings into memory may sound differently the next time you select the pattern/song. Even if the sampling interval is in the same region, increasing the SPEED value will shorten the sampling time. If the speed is set to a low value and this effect is played back continuously for an extended time, the high-frequency portion of the playback will gradually diminish, causing the tone to become softer.

If you want keep the data you created, save your data on SmartMedia before you initialize. While holding down the SOLO key and WRITE/ RENAME key, turn on the power. The display will indicate "ALL Init, " and the PLAY/ PAUSE key will blink. [. . . ]
