[. . . ] This effect is most effective on organ-type Patches. fig. 6-12 LOW GAIN -15­+15 dB Specify the low frequency gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the low frequency range. L in HIGH GAIN -15­+15 dB Specify the high frequency gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the high frequency range. R in L out Rotary R out LEVEL (Output level) 0­127 Specify the output volume. HIGH SLOW (High frequency slow rate) 0. 05­10. 0 Hz Specify the low-speed (SLOW) rotational speed of the highrange rotor. 57 Chapter 6 Using the Built-in Effects LOW SLOW (Low frequency slow rate) 0. 05­10. 0 Hz Specify the low-speed (SLOW) rotational speed of the lowrange rotor. 9: COMPRESSOR Compressor is an effect which restricts high sound levels and boosts low sound levels, thus smoothing out variations in volume. fig. 6-13 L in HIGH FAST (High frequency fast rate) 0. 05­10. 0 Hz Specify the high-speed (FAST) rotational speed of the highrange rotor. R in L out Compressor 2-Band EQ Pan L Pan R R out SUSTAIN 0­127 Specify the time over which low-level sounds are boosted to a constant volume level. LOW FAST (Low frequency fast rate) 0. 05­10. 0 Hz Specify the high-speed (FAST) rotational speed of the lowrange rotor. ATTACK 0­127 Specify the attack time of the input sound. SPEED Slow/Fast # Select the rotational speed of the low-range rotor and highrange rotor. Slow: The specified rotational speeds (the LOW SLOW RATE/ HI SLOW RATE values) will take effect. Fast: The specified rotational speeds (the LOW FAST RATE/ HI FAST RATE values) will take effect. PAN (Output pan) L64­0­R63 Specify the stereo location of the output sound. A setting of L64 is far left, 0 is center, and R63 is far right. POST GAIN 0/+6/+12/+18 dB Specify the output level. LOW GAIN -15­+15 dB Specify the low frequency range gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the low frequency range. HIGH ACCL (High frequency acceleration) 0­15 Specify the time required for the rotational speed of the highrange rotor to change from the low speed to the high speed (or from the high speed to the low speed). More time will be required as the value of this parameter is decreased. HIGH GAIN -15­+15 dB Specify the high frequency range gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the high frequency range. LOW ACCL (Low frequency acceleration) 0­15 Specify the time required for the rotational speed of the lowrange rotor to change from the low speed to the high speed (or from the high speed to the low speed). More time will be required as the value of this parameter is decreased. LEVEL (Output level) 0­127 # Specify the output volume. HIGH LEVEL (High frequency level) 0­127 Specify the volume of the high-range rotor. 10: LIMITER Limiter is an effect which compresses sounds that are louder than a specified volume level, preventing distortion from occurring. fig. 6-14 LOW LEVEL (Low frequency level) 0­127 Specify the volume of the low-range rotor. L in Limiter R in 2-Band EQ L out Pan L Pan R SEPARATION 0­127 Specify the spaciousness of the sound. R out LEVEL (Output level) 0­127 Specify the output volume. THRESHOLD (Threshold level) 0­127 Specify the volume level at which compression will begin. RELEASE (Release time) 0­127 Specify the time from when the volume falls below the threshold level until the limiter effect no longer applies. RATIO (Compression ratio) 1. 5:1/2:1/4:1/100:1 Specify the compression ratio. 58 Chapter 6 Using the Built-in Effects PAN (Output pan) L64­0­R63 Specify the stereo location of the output sound. A setting of L64 is far left, 0 is center, and R63 is far right. PAN DEV (Pan deviation) 0­20 Specify the difference in stereo position between each of the chorus sounds. With a setting of 0, all of the chorus sounds will be panned to the center. Setting this to 20 provides the greatest breadth. POST GAIN 0/+6/+12/+18 dB Specify the level of the output sound. BALANCE (Effect balance) D100:0E­D0:100E LOW GAIN -15­+15 dB Specify the gain (amount of boost or cut) for the low frequency range. Specify the volume balance between the original sound and the chorus sound. With a setting of D100:0E only the original sound will be output, and with a setting of D0:100E only the chorus sound will be output. HIGH GAIN -15­+15 dB Specify the gain (amount of boost or cut) for the high frequency range. Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the high frequency range. LEVEL (Output level) 0­127 Specify the output volume. 12: TREMOLO-CHO (Tremolo Chorus) Tremolo-chorus is a chorus with a tremolo effect (cyclic modulation of volume). fig. 6-16 LEVEL (Output level) 0­127 # Specify the output volume. L in Balance D L out Balance E 11: HEXA-CHORUS Hexa-chorus is a six-stage chorus which adds depth and spaciousness to the sound. (Six chorus sounds with different delay times are overlaid. ) fig. 6-15 Tremolo Chorus Balance E R in Balance D R out Chap. 6 L in Balance D L out Balance E PRE DELAY (Pre delay time) 0. 0­100 ms Specify the delay time from the original sound until when the chorus sound is heard. Hexa Chorus Balance E CHORUS RATE 0. 05­10. 0 Hz Specify the modulation frequency of the chorus sound. R in Balance D R out PRE DELAY (Pre delay time) 0. 0­100 ms Specify the delay time from the original sound until when the chorus sound is heard. CHORUS DEPTH 0­127 Specify the modulation depth of the chorus sound. TREM RATE (Tremolo rate) 0. 05­10. 0 Hz # Specify the modulation frequency of the tremolo effect. RATE 0. 05­10. 0 Hz # Specify the modulation frequency of the chorus sound. TREM SEP (Tremolo separation) 0­127 Specify the spaciousness of the tremolo effect. DEPTH 0­127 Specify the modulation depth of the chorus sound. TREM PHASE (Tremolo phase) 0­180 Adjusts the phase of the tremolo effect. PRE DLY DEV (Pre delay deviation) 0­20 The Pre Delay parameter explained above specified the delay time from the original sound until when the chorus sound is heard. This Pre Delay Deviation parameter specifies the differences in Pre Delay time for each of the chorus sounds. Higher settings will cause each of the chorus sounds to be spread further apart. BALANCE (Effect balance) D100:0E­D0:100E Specify the volume balance between the original sound and the tremolo-chorus sound. With a setting of D100:0E only the original sound will be output, and with a setting of D0:100E only the tremolochorus sound will be output. DEPTH DEV (Depth deviation) -20­+20 Specify the difference in modulation depth between each of the chorus sounds. LEVEL (Output level) 0­127 Specify the output volume. 59 Chapter 6 Using the Built-in Effects 13: SPACE-D Space-D is a multiple chorus that applies two-stage modulation in stereo. It does not produce a sense of modulation, but creates a transparent chorus effect. fig. 6-17 FILTER TYPE Off/LPF/HPF Select the type of filter. LPF: 2-Band EQ Balance E Balance E Balance D L in Space D Space D R in Balance D L out The frequency region above the Cutoff Freq setting will be cut.
