User manual ZOOM 509

[. . . ] Operation Manual Thank you for selecting the ZOOM 509 (hereafter simply called the "509"). Please take the time to read this manual carefully so you can get the most out of your 509 and ensure optimum performance and reliability. Retain this manual for future reference. ZOOM CORPORATION NOAH Bldg. , 2-10-2, Miyanishi-cho, Fuchu-shi, Tokyo 183, Japan PHONE: 0423-69-7116 FAX: 0423-69-7115 Printed in Japan 509-5000 1 Major Features · Dedicated modulation unit with two on-board modulation modules (EFFECT 1 and EFFECT 2) for a total of 20 effects. [. . . ] Flanger 1: Flanger effect with short predelay. Flanger 2: Flanger effect with long predelay. Phaser 2 : 8-step phaser effect. Comment Controls the mix level of the effect sound. Higher values result in higher effect mix level. Comment Determines the connection principle Adjusts the overall level of the EFFECT 1 and EFFECT 2 of the patch. Parameters/ Parameters/ Comment Comment Values Values The setting is common to effect types C1 - E2. C1 CHORUS C2 MIX 0­10 C3 1 FLANGER 2 1 PHASE 2 ROTARY rt TREMOLO tr AUTOPAN STEP DOUBLING SERIAL/ PARA Controls the depth (intensity) of the effect. When the effect type "rt" (Rotary) is selected, the parameter controls the width of the frequency range in which the effect is operating. (Serial/ parallel) Sr, 1P­9P RATE 1­50 Controls the rate (speed) of the effect. Higher values result in faster speed. DEPTH Rotary : Rotary speaker type effect. Tremolo : Tremolo effect with periodic volume fluctuation. Auto-pan : Auto-panning effect which moves the sound between left and right for stereo playback. Step 1: Effect with randomly changing pitch. Step 2 : Similar to S1 with even stronger characteristic. Doubling 1 : Doubling effect which adds body to the original sound by adding a short delay sound. Doubling 2 : Stereo version of d1. 0­10 Smaller values mean lower frequencies and larger values higher frequencies. When "S1" or "S2" (step) is selected as effect type, the parameter adjusts the step input sensitivity. "Sr" means serial connection, and "1P" - "9P" mean parallel connection. LEVEL The "1P" - "9P" settings (Patch level) cause a different level 1­30 balance between the EFFECT 1 and EFFECT 2 modules, as shown below. (See Fig. ) The setting is common to all effect types. Higher values result in higher level. n S1 S2 1 2 t <Balance settings for parallel connection> Balance settings for parallel connection EFFECT 1 EFFECT 2 1P, 2P, 3P, 4P, 5 P, 6 P, 7 P, 8 P, 9 P Controls the delay time of the effect in 2-ms steps. Higher values result in longer delay time. Controls the mix level of the effect sound and original sound. "0" means only original sound, "15" means a 1:1 ratio, and "30" means only effect sound. <Pedal pitch shifter modes> MIX 0­10 Controls the mix level of the effect sound. [. . . ] When wishing to recall only a particular patch, select the patch number in step 3, using the same procedure as for normal patch selection. When the desired patch has been selected, press the STORE key. The flashing rate increases and the contents of the selected patch are recalled. Recalling of individual patches can be carried out continuously. [. . . ]
