[CHORUS LEVEL] allows you to set the output level of
the Chorus processor. Setting this parameter to “0”
means that you no longer hear the effect in question.
[OUTPUT] allows you to specify where the processor’s
output signal should go: to the MAIN outputs
(“Main”), the Reverb processor (“Rev”) or both
(“Main+Rev”). The latter two options mean that the
chorus signal (i.e. a mix of direct and effect signal) is
also processed by the reverb effect you select.
Filter Type (Off, LPF, HPF)—This allows you to specify
whether or not the incoming signal should be filtered
before being processed by the chorus. This may be help-
ful to avoid a cluttered sound image, or to preserve the
“punch” of bass signals. Select “OFF” you don’t need any
filtering. “LPF” cuts the frequency range above the “Cut-
off Freq”. “HPF” cuts the frequency range below the
“Cutoff Freq”.
Cutoff Freq (200~8000Hz)—Basic frequency of the fil-
ter. This has no effect if you select “OFF” as filter type.
Pre Delay (0.0~100.0 ms)—Adjusts the delay time from
the direct sound until the chorus sound is heard.
Rate Sync (Hz, Note)—Use this parameter to specify
whether (“Note”) or not (“Hz”) the modulation rate
should be synchronized to the Arranger or Recorder
tempo. Depending on your choice, the setting range of
the following parameter refers to a speed (Hz) or a note
value.
Rate [Hz] (0.05~10.00Hz)
Rate [Note] (1/64T, 1/64, 1/32T, 1/32, 1/16T, 1/32., 1/
16, 1/8T, 1/16., 1/8, 1/4T, 1/8., 1/4, 1/2 T, 1/4., 1/2,
1/1 T, 1/2., 1/1, 2/1 T, 1/1., 2/1)—Specifies the modula-
tion speed. This can be either a frequency (Hz) or a note
value, depending on how you set the “Rate Sync” param-
eter above. “T” means “triplet” and a “.” refers to a dotted
note. “2/1” means that each cycle takes two measures/
bars. The advantage of working with a note value is that
the chorus will undulate in sync with the current
Arranger or Recorder tempo, which can be used for
musical purposes (to emphasize a rhythmic groove, for
example).
Depth (0~127)—This parameter sets the depth at which
the chorus sound is modulated. Higher values result in a
more pronounced modulation.
Phase (0~180 [deg])—Spatial spread of the sound (i.e.
the “stereoness” of the effect).
Chorus Feedback (0~127)—This parameter sets the
level at which the chorus sound is re-input (fed back)
into the chorus. By using Feedback, a denser Chorus
sound can be created. Higher values result in a greater
feedback level.
Pre LPF (0~7)—Cuts the high frequency range of the
sound coming into the chorus. Higher values will cut
more of the high frequencies.
Level (0~127)—Output level of the chorus sound.
Feedback (0~127)—Adjusts the amount of the chorus
sound that is fed back into the effect.
Delay (0~127)—Adjusts the delay time from the direct
sound until the chorus sound is heard.
Rate (0~127)—This parameter sets the speed (fre-
quency) at which the chorus sound is modulated. Higher
values result in faster modulation.
Depth (0~127)—This parameter sets the depth at which
the chorus sound is modulated. Higher values result in a
more pronounced modulation.
Reverb Send (0~127)—This parameter sets the amount
of chorus sound that is sent to the Reverb processor. The
value “127” effectively allows you to connect the chorus
and reverb effects in series (Chorus before Reverb). If you
do not want the chorus signal to be processed by the
Reverb effect, set this value to “0”.
L/R/C Delay Sync (msec, Note)—Use this parameter to
specify whether (“Note”) or not (“msec”) the delay time
should be synchronized to the Arranger or Recorder
tempo. Depending on your choice, the setting range of
the following parameter refers to a speed (Hz) or a note
value.
L/R/C Delay [msec] (0~1000ms)
L/R/C Delay [Note] (1/64T, 1/64, 1/32T, 1/32, 1/16T, 1/
32., 1/16, 1/8T, 1/16., 1/8, 1/4T, 1/8., 1/4, 1/2T, 1/4., 1/
2, 1/1T, 1/2., 1/1, 2/1T, 1/1., 2/1)—Specifies the delay
time. This can be either a time value (“msec”) or a note
value, depending on how you set the “Delay Sync”
parameter above. “T” means “triplet” and a “.” refers to a
dotted note. “2/1” means that each repetition comes
after two measures/bars. The advantage of working with
a note value is that the delay effect runs in sync with the
current Arranger or Recorder tempo, which can be used
for musical purposes.
C Feedback (–98~+98%)—Adjusts the proportion of the
delay sound that is fed back into the effect. Negative (–)
settings invert the phase.
HF Damp (200~8000Hz, Bypass)—Adjusts the fre-
quency above which sound fed back to the effect will be
cut. If you do not want to cut the high frequencies, set
this parameter to BYPASS.
L/R/C Level (0~127)—Volume of each delay sound
(there are three: one for the left channel, one for the
center, and one for the right channel).

you want to keep them.
Parameter values can be set by turning the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial, by pressing the [DEC]/[INC] but-
tons, or by pressing the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and
using the on-screen numeric pad.
