Auto Wah Depth (0~127)—Modulation intensity.
Auto Wah Sens (0~127)—Adjusts the sensitivity with
which the filter is controlled.
Auto Wah Manual (0~127)—Adjusts the center fre-
quency at which the effect is applied.
Auto Wah Peak (0~127)—Adjusts the amount of the wah
effect that will occur in the range of the center frequency.
Set a higher value to narrow the range to be affected.
Level (0~127)—Output level. Use this parameter to com-
pensate for exaggerated level differences resulting from
the settings you made.
9. Rotary
This effect simulates the sound of the rotary speakers often
used with the electric organs. Since the movement of the
high-range and low-range rotors can be set independently,
the unique type of modulation characteristic of these speak-
ers can be simulated quite closely. This effect is most suitable
for electric organ sounds (of the [ORGAN] bank – the Har-
monic Bar section has its own Rotary effect).
Tweeter Slow Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)
Woofer Slow Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Slow speed (SLOW) of
the high- or low-frequency rotor.
Tweeter Fast Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)
Woofer Fast Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Fast speed (FAST) of the
high- or low-frequency rotor.
Rotary Speed (Slow, Fast)—Simultaneously switches the
rotational speed of the low-frequency and high-frequency
rotors. SLOW: Slows down the rotation to the “Slow Rate”.
FAST: Speeds up the rotation to the “Fast Rate”.
Tweeter Acceleration (0~15)
Woofer Acceleration (0~15)—Adjusts the time it takes the
rotor in question to reach the newly selected speed (“Fast”
or “Slow”). Lower values correspond to slower transitions.
Tweeter Level (0~127)
Woofer Level (0~127)—Volume of the rotor in question.
Separation (0~127)—Spatial dispersion of the sound.
Level (0~127)—Output level.
10. Compressor
Reduces high levels (peaks) and boosts low levels, smoothing
out fluctuations in volume.
Compressor Sustain (0~127)—Allows you to specify how
strongly incoming signals should be compressed, which
results in a longer sustain.
Compressor Attack (0~127)—Sets the speed at which
compression starts.
Panpot (L64~0~63R)—Stereo location of the output
sound. This is a mono effect that combines incoming sig-
nals. You can, however, place the processed signal any-
where between the left and right channels.
Compressor Post Gain (0, +6, +12, +18dB)—Adjusts the
output gain. Use this parameter to make up for a signifi-
cant volume loss due to extreme settings.
EQ Low Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the low range.
EQ High Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the high range.
Level (0~127)—Output level.
11. Limiter
Compresses signals that exceed the specified level, preventing
distortion from occurring. Unlike a compressor, it does not
boost the level of weaker signals.
Limiter Threshold (0~127)—Adjusts the volume at which
compression begins.
Limiter Release (0~127)—Allows you to specify how long
signal compression should remain in effect after the signal
volume falls below the Threshold value.
Limiter Ratio (1.5:1, 2:1, 4:1, 100:1)—Allows you to spec-
ify how strongly volume peaks should be compressed.
Choose “100:1” if the Threshold level must never be
exceeded (which is a true Limiter function).
Panpot (L64~0~63R)—Stereo location of the output
sound. This is a mono effect that combines incoming sig-
nals. You can, however, place the processed signal any-
where between the left and right channels.
Limiter Post Gain (0, +6, +12, +18dB)—Adjusts the out-
put gain. Use this parameter to make up for a significant
volume loss due to extreme settings.
EQ Low Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the low range.
EQ High Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the high range.
Level (0~127)—Output level.
12. Hexa-Chorus
Uses a six-phase chorus (six layers of chorused sound) to cre-
ate a dense and spatial effect.
Chorus Pre Delay (0.0~100.0ms)—Adjusts the delay
between the incoming direct signal and the moment when
the chorus starts working.
Chorus Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Frequency, i.e. modulation
speed.
Chorus Depth (0~127)—Modulation intensity.
Chorus Pre Delay Deviation (0~20)—Adjusts the differ-
ences in Pre Delay between each chorus line (there are six
of them).
Chorus Depth Deviation (-20~0~20)—Adjusts the differ-
ence in modulation depth between each chorus sound.
Chorus Pan Deviation (0~20)—Adjusts the distribution of
the various chorus lines in the stereo image.
0: All chorus sounds are in the center.
20: Each chorus sound will be spaced at 60 degree intervals
relative to the center.
Balance (D100:0W, D50:50W, D0:100W)—Volume bal-
ance between the direct (D) and the effect sound (W).
Level (0~127)—Output level.
13. Trem Chorus
This is a chorus effect with added Tremolo (cyclic modulation
of volume).
Chorus Pre Delay (0.0~100.0ms)—Adjusts the delay
between the incoming direct signal and the moment when
the chorus starts working.
Chorus Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Frequency, i.e. modulation
speed.
Chorus Depth (0~127)—Modulation intensity.
Tremolo Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Modulation frequency of
the tremolo effect.
Tremolo Separation (0~127)—Allows you to set the level
of the tremolo effect with respect to the chorus modula-
tion.
Tremolo Phase (0~180 deg)—Spread of the tremolo
effect.
