Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters
DF (Defretter)
This simulates a fretless guitar.
Parameter Value
Tone -50–+50
Sens 0–100
Attack 0–100
Depth 0–100
Resonance 0–100
Effect Level 0–100
Direct Level 0–100
Tone
Adjusts the amount of blurring between the notes.
Sens (Sensitivity)
This controls the input sensitivity of the defretter.
Attack
Adjusts the attack of the picking sound.
Depth
This controls the rate of the harmonics.
Resonance
Adds a characteristically resonant quality to the sound.
Effect Level
Adjust the volume of the defretter sound.
Direct Level
Adjust the volume of the direct sound.
RM (Ring Modulator)
This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the guitar
sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound
will be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.
Parameter Value
Mode Normal, Intelligent
Freq 0–100
Effect Level 0–100
Direct Level 0–100
Mode
This selects the mode for the ring modulator.
Normal:
This is a normal ring modulator.
Intelligent:
By ring-modulating the input signal, a bell like sound is
created. The intelligent ring modulator changes the
oscillation frequency according to the pitch of the input
sound and therefore produces a sound with the sense of
pitch, which is quite different from “Normal.” This effect
does not give a satisfactory result if the pitch of the guitar
sound is not correctly detected. So, you must use single
notes, not chords.
Freq (Frequency)
This adjusts the frequency of the internal oscillator.
Effect Level
This adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
Direct Level
This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
FB (Feedbacker)
This allows you to use feedback playing techniques.
* Note that the notes you want to apply feedback to must be
played singly and cleanly.
* You can use the foot switch to switch the effect on and off. For
more details, refer to “Setting the External Pedal Function for
Individual Patches (Assign)” (p. 60).
Parameter Value
Mode OSC, Natural
Rise Time 0–100 Mode= OSC
Rise Time () 0–100 Mode= OSC
F.B.Level 0–100
F.B.Level () 0–100 Mode= OSC
Vib Rate 0–100, BPM –BPM
Mode= OSC
Vib Depth 0–100 Mode= OSC
Mode
Select either oscillator “OSC” or natural “Natural.”
OSC (Oscillator):
An artificial feedback sound will be created internally.
* When OSC is selected, the effect is activated after a single note
is played and the note stabilizes. A feedback effect is created
when the effect switches on; the feedback disappears when the
OSC effect switches off.
Natural:
Analyzes the pitch of the guitar sound being input, and then
creates a feedback sound.
