COSM GUITAR Chapter 5. Parameter Guide
Chapter 5
Specifies the pitch shifted sound.
ON/OFF
Switches the pitch shift on/off.
* Turning [VALUE] will select PRESET.
MODE
Selection for the pitch shift mode.
SHIFT (pitch shift):
The pitch shift amount can be set independently for each
string.
HARMO (harmony):
This creates harmony that matches the key of the song
being played.
When “SHIFT” is selected as the
mode
SHIFT 1–6 (pitch shift) [-24–+24]
Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (the amount of pitch
change) in semitone steps.
FINE 1–6 [-50–+50]
Make fine adjustments to the pitch shift.
* The amount of the change in the Fine “100” is equivalent to
that of the Pitch “1.”
E.LEVEL 1–6 (effect level) [0–100]
Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
D.LEVEL 1–6 (direct level) [0–100]
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
When “HARMO” is selected as the
mode
HARMO 1–6 (harmony) [-2– +2 OCT]
This determines the pitch of the sound added to the input
sound, when you are making a harmony. It allows you to set
it by up to 2 octaves higher or lower than the input sound.
KEY [C–B]
On the VG-88, you can specify the key for each patch.
The COSM GUITAR “HARMO” and the EFFECT
“HARMONIST” refer to the same key setting. If you change
one, the other will also be changed.
E.LEVEL 1–6 (effect level) [0–100]
Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
D.LEVEL 1–6 (direct level) [0–100]
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
Specifies the resonances produced by the body of the
instrument.
* Cannot be turned on/off.
PRESET
Select one of the pre-programmed types of body.
ATTACK [0–100]
Specifies the strength of the attack when you pluck the string
strongly. As this setting is increased, the attack will be
sharper, and the sound will be crisper.
BODY [0–100]
Adjusts the balance between the bypass sound and the
resonant sound (body resonance) of the top plate and body.
With lower settings of this value, only the bypass sound will
be heard. With larger settings, only the body resonance will
be heard.
* The body resonance is monophonic. This means that if this
Body parameter is set to 100, the panning of each string will
have less effect.
* To produce the sound of a solid body, set ATTACK and BODY
to “0.”
* This parameter is not displayed if you have COSM GUITAR
TYPE set to “NYLON STRINGS.”
LOW CUT [THRU, 55.0–800 Hz]
Specifies the cutoff frequency of the low-cut filter for the
bypass sound.
* This parameter is not displayed if you have COSM GUITAR
TYPE set to “NYLON STRINGS.”
LEVEL [0–100]
Adjusts the volume of the body. With a setting of 0, there will
be no sound.
BODY-TYPE
Selects the type of resonating body.
* This parameter is not displayed if you have COSM GUITAR
TYPE set to “NYLON STRINGS.”
FLAT:
The body of an acoustic guitar with a flat top and back.
ROUND:
The body of a flat top acoustic guitar with a round back
made of resin.
f HOLE:
An f-hole body with an arched top and back. This is
suitable for simulating semi-acoustic or full acoustic
electric guitars.
PT SHIFT (pitch shift) BODY
