42. Isolator
This is an equalizer which cuts the volume greatly, allowing
you to add a special effect to the sound by cutting the volume
in varying ranges.
Boost/Cut Low/Mid/High Level (–60~0~4 [dB])—These boost
and cut each of the High, Middle and Low frequency ranges. At
–60dB, the sound becomes inaudible. 0dB is equivalent to the
input level of the sound.
Anti Phase Low Sw (Off, On)—Turns the Anti-Phase function on
and off for the Low frequency ranges. When turned on, the
counter-channel of stereo sound is inverted and added to the
signal.
Anti Phase Low Level (0~127)—Adjusts the level settings for the
Low frequency ranges. Adjusting this level for certain frequen-
cies allows you to lend emphasis to specific parts. (This is effec-
tive only for stereo source.)
Anti Phase Mid Sw (Off, On)—Turns the Anti-Phase function on
and off for the Middle frequency ranges. When turned on, the
counter-channel of stereo sound is inverted and added to the
signal.
Anti Phase Mid Level (0~127)—Adjusts the level settings for the
Middle frequency ranges. Adjusting this level for certain fre-
quencies allows you to lend emphasis to specific parts. (This is
effective only for stereo source.)
Low Boost Sw (Off, On)—Turns Low Booster on/off.
This emphasizes the bottom to create a heavy bass sound.
Low Boost Level (0~127)—Increasing this value gives you a
heavier low end. Depending on the Isolator and filter settings
this effect may be hard to distinguish.
Level (0~127)—Output level.
43. Low Boost
Boosts the volume of the lower range, creating powerful lows.
Boost Frequency (50~125 [Hz])—Center frequency at which the
lower range will be boosted.
Boost Gain (0~12 [dB])—Amount by which the lower range will
be boosted.
Boost Width (Wide, Mid, Narrow)—Width of the lower range
that will be boosted.
EQ Low Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the low frequency
range.
EQ High Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the high frequency
range.
Level (0~127)—Output level.
44. Super Filter
This is a filter with an extremely sharp slope. The cutoff fre-
quency can be varied cyclically.
Filter Type (LPF, BPF, HPF, NOTCH)—Filter type. Frequency range
that will pass through each filter. LPF: frequencies below the
cutoff. BPF: frequencies in the region of the cutoff. HPF: fre-
quencies above the cutoff. NOTCH: frequencies other than the
region of the cutoff.
Filter Slope (–12, –24, –36 [dB])—Amount of attenuation per
octave: –36dB: extremely steep, –24dB: steep, –12dB: gentle.
Filter Cutoff (0~127)—Cutoff frequency of the filter. Increasing
this value will raise the cutoff frequency.
Filter Resonance (0~127)—Filter resonance level. Increasing this
value will emphasize the region near the cutoff frequency.
Filter Gain (0~12 [dB])—Amount of boost for the filter output.
Modulation Sw (Off, On)—On/off switch for cyclic change.
Modulation Wave (TRI, SQR, SIN, SAW1, SAW2)—How the cut-
off frequency will be modulated: TRI: triangle wave, SQR:
square wave, SIN: sine wave, SAW1: sawtooth wave (upward),
SWA2: sawtooth wave (downward)
Rate [sync] (Hz, Note)—Use this parameter to specify whether
(“Note”) or not (“Hz”) the modulation rate should be synchro-
nized 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 of modulation.
Rate [note] (musical notes)—Rate parameters can be set as a
note-value of a tempo if you set the “Sync” parameter above to
“Note”. Specify the value of the desired note.
Depth (0~127)—Depth of modulation.
Attack (0~127)—Speed at which the cutoff frequency will
change. This is effective if Modulation Wave is SQR, SAW1 or
SAW2.
Level (0~127)—Output level.
45. Step Filter
This is a filter whose cutoff frequency can be modulated in
steps. You can specify the pattern by which the cutoff fre-
quency will change.
Step 1~16 (0~127)—Cutoff frequency at each step
Rate [sync] (Hz, Note)—Use this parameter to specify whether
(“Note”) or not (“Hz”) the 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 of modulation.
Rate [note] (musical notes)—Rate parameters can be set as a
note-value of a tempo if you set the “Sync” parameter above to
“Note”. Specify the value of the desired note.
Attack (0~127)—Speed at which the cutoff frequency changes
between steps.
Filter Type (LPF, BPF, HPF, NOTCH)—Filter type. Frequency range
that will pass through each filter. LPF: frequencies below the
cutoff. BPF: frequencies in the region of the cutoff. HPF: fre-
quencies above the cutoff. NOTCH: frequencies other than the
region of the cutoff.
Filter Slope (–12, –24, –36 [dB])—Amount of attenuation per
octave: –36dB: extremely steep, –24dB: steep, –12dB: gentle.
Filter Resonance (0~127)—Filter resonance level. Increasing this
value will emphasize the region near the cutoff frequency.
Filter Gain (0~12 [dB])—Amount of boost for the filter output.
Level (0~127)—Output level.
46. Humanizer
Adds a vowel character to the sound, making it similar to a
human voice.
Drive Sw (OFF,ON)—Turns Drive on/off.
Drive (0~127)—Degree of distortion. Also changes the volume.
Vowel 1 (a, e, i, o, u)
Vowel 2 (a, e, i, o, u)—Selects the vowel.
Rate [sync] (Hz, Note)—Use this parameter to specify whether
(“Note”) or not (“Hz”) the 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)—Frequency at which the two vowels
switch.
Rate [note] (musical notes)—Rate parameters can be set as a
note-value of a tempo if you set the “Sync” parameter above to
“Note”. Specify the value of the desired note.
Depth (0~127)—Effect depth.
Input Sync Sw (Off, On)—Determines whether the LFO for
switching the vowels is reset by the input signal (ON) or not
(OFF).
Input Sync Threshold (0~127)—Volume level at which reset is
applied.
Manual (0~100)—Point at which Vowel 1/2 switch. 49 or less:
Vowel 1 will have a longer duration. 50: Vowel 1 and 2 will be of
equal duration. 50 or more: Vowel 2 will have a longer duration.
EQ EQ Low Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the low frequency
range.
EQ EQ High Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the high frequency
range.
Panpot (L64~0~63R)—Stereo location of the output sound. This
is a mono effect that combines incoming signals. You can, how-
ever, place the processed signal anywhere between the left and
right channels.
Level (0~127)—Output level.
