Using the Effects
TONE/CUTOFF knob
When (NATURAL–HI-BAND DRIVE) is selected
Adjusts the tone. Turn the knob to the left for a milder
sound or to the right for a sharper sound.
When SYNTH (SAW LEAD–SQUARE) is selected
Adjusts the frequency at which the harmonic
components of the sound are cut (the cutoff frequency).
D.LEVEL/RESONANCE knob
When (NATURAL–HI-BAND DRIVE) is selected
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
* Normally this adjusts the sound immediately ahead of its
being input to DRIVE/SYNTH, but when OCTAVE UP is
selected as the FILTER/TONE type, this adjusts the sound
input to the INPUT jack. Thus, only the sounds raised by an
octave are distorted, giving an effect that sounds like a guitar
playing in unison with the direct bass sound.
When SYNTH (SAW LEAD–SQUARE) is selected
Adjusts the amount by which the harmonic components
near the cutoff frequency are boosted.
E.LEVEL knob
Adjusts the volume.
* Noise may creep into the sound if the E.LEVEL knob is turned
up too high. Adjust the E.LEVEL knob so the volume level
sounds the same whether the effect is switched on or off.
