Effects List
09: Dynamic Processor
(Stereo Dynamic Processor)
A comp/limiter, enhancer, 3-band equalizer, and noise
suppressor are connected in series.
Comp/Limiter is able to use as a compressor, which controls
inconsistencies in sound levels by suppressing high sound
levels while lifting weaker signals, or as a limiter that prevents
the signal from reaching exceedingly high levels.
Enhancer regulates the high-end overtones, clarifying the
sound and the sound contour.
3-Band Equalizer works in three frequency ranges: Low, Mid,
and High. You can set the frequencies and boost or cut the
level.
Noise Suppressor leaves the original sound unmodified, but
mutes only the noise during the silent intervals.
10: Tape Echo Simulator
This virtual tape echo gives you real tape delay sound. This
simulates the tape echo part of Roland’s RE-201 Space Echo.
11: Stereo Delay
This is a stereo delay. Depending on the length of the delay
you set, you can get long echoes, thick sounds, or spatial
sounds.
Parameter
Value Description
Comp Sw
OFF, ON Turns the comp/limiter on/off.
Comp
Threshold
-60–0 dB Sets the volume level at which the
compression begins.
Comp Attack 0–127 Sets the time after the sound vol-
ume is crossed the compressor
threshold until compression be-
gins.
Comp Re-
lease
0–127 Specifies the time from when the
volume drops below the compres-
sor threshold until compression is
no longer applied.
Comp Ratio 1.5:1, 2:1, 4:1,
100:1
Sets the “source sound:output
sound” compression ratio.
Comp Gain -60– +12 dB Output gain
Enhan Sw OFF, ON Turns the enhancer on/off.
Enhan Sens 0–127 Sensitivity of the enhancer
Enhan Fre-
quency
0–127 Sets the lower limit of the frequen-
cies to which the enhancement ef-
fect is added.
Enhan Mix
Level
0–127 Level of the overtones generated
by the enhancer
Enhan Level 0–127 Volume of the enhancer sound
EQ Low Freq 50–4000 Hz Frequency of the low range
EQ Low Gain -15– +15 dB Gain of the low range
EQ Mid Freq 50–20000 Hz Frequency of the middle range
EQ Mid Q 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 2.0,
4.0, 8.0
Gain of the middle range
Set a higher value for Q to narrow
the range to be affected.
EQ Mid Gain -15– +15 dB Gain of the middle range
EQ Hi Freq 2000–20000 Hz Frequency of the high range
EQ Hi Gain -15– +15 dB Gain of the high range
NS Sw OFF, ON Turns the noise suppressor on/off.
NS Thresh-
old
0–127 Adjusts the level at which the noise
suppressor will begin to take ef-
fect.
When the signal drops below the
specified level, it will be muted.
NS Release 0–127 Sets the transition time from when
the noise suppression starts to the
point where the volume reaches 0.
Parameter
Value Description
Mode
S, M, L,
S+M, S+L,
M+L,
S+M+L
Sets the combination of playback heads
to be used.
The RE-201 had three playback heads to
make different delay times (Short, Me-
dium, and Long delay) at once. For ex-
ample, to use the short and middle
heads, select S+M.
Repeat Rate 0–127 Sets the tape speed.
This corresponds to the delay time in a
contemporary delay effect.
Intensity 0–127 Sets the repeat times of the delayed
sound.
This is analogous to a contemporary de-
lay’s feedback setting.
Bass -100– +100 These are the echo sound’s bass and tre-
ble adjustments.
When set to 0, they make no change to
the sound.
Treble
Head S Pan L63–63R These are the pan (left-right) settings
for each of the heads for Short, Medi-
um, and Long delay time.
* This parameter does not appear on the
original RE-201.
Head M Pan
Head L Pan
Tape Distor-
tion
(Tape DS)
0–5 Adds the distortion characteristic of
tape.
The distortion gets more intense as the
value is increased.
W/F Rate 0–127 Frequency of the wow and flutter mod-
ulation
The wavering of multiple pitches that
appears from tape wear and irregulari-
ties in rotation is called wow and flut-
ter.
W/F Depth 0–127 Modulation depth of the wow and flut-
ter
Echo Level 0–127 Volume of the echo sound.
Parameter
Value Description
Mode
MONO,
STEREO,
ALTERNATE
Switches stereo, monaural, or alter-
nate.
MONO: This is a single-input,
dual-output delay. Stereo sound
(left and right) are mixed before be-
ing input.
STEREO: This is a dual-input, dual-
output delay. The delay sound out-
put features the same stereo place-
ment as that of the input.
ALTERNATE: The left and right
delay sound output alternately.
(Alternate delay)
