[. . . ] 4STG 8STG 12STG BI-PHS This is a four-phase effect. This is the phaser with two phase shift circuits connected in series. This sets the rate of the phaser effect. ­BPM RATE 0­100, BPM When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to the value of the BPM (p. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song. * If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that time. DEPTH 0­100 Determines the depth of the rotation effect. Adjusts the center frequency of the rotation effect. Determines the amount of resonance (feedback). Increasing the value will emphasize the effect, creating a more unusual sound. This sets the cycle of the step function that changes the rotation. When it is set to a higher value, the change will be finer. Set this to Off when not using the Step function. MANUAL 0­100 RESO (Resonance) 0­100 Parameter/ Range OFF, ON see above STEP RATE Explanation OFF, 0­100, BPM ­BPM MOD1 SW, MOD2 SW Turns the MOD-1 (MOD-2) effect on/off. Selects the effect to be used. MOD 1 TYPE, MOD 2 TYPE When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to the value of the BPM (p. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song. * If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that time. EFFECT LEVEL 0­100 Adjusts the volume of the phaser. Adjusts the volume of the direct sound. DIRECT LEVEL 0­100 116 FX (Effects) Chapter 8 Parameters Guide FLANGER The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character to the sound. TREML (Tremolo) Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume. Parameter/ Range Explanation Parameter/ Range Explanation WAVE SHAPE 0­100 Adjusts the curve for the volume change. Raising the value makes the changes occur more rapidly. Adjusts the frequency (speed) of the change. ­BPM RATE 0­100, BPM ­BPM This sets the rate of the flanging effect. When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to the value of the BPM (p. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song. * If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that time.
