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.

Parameter Value Description
Comp Sw OFF, ON Turns the comp/limiter on/off.
Comp Thresh-
old #1
-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 Release 0–127 Specifies the time from when the
volume drops below the com-
pressor threshold until com-
pression 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 Frequen-
cy
0–127 Sets the lower limit of the fre-
quencies to which the enhance-
ment effect is added.
Enhan Mix Lev-
el
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 nar-
row 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 Threshold
#2
0–127 Adjusts the level at which the
noise suppressor will begin to
take effect.
* 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 vol-
ume reaches 0.
Parameter Value Description
Mode S, M, L, S+M,
S+L, M+L,
S+M+L
Sets the combination of play-
back heads to be used.
The RE-201 had three playback
heads to make different delay
times (Short, Medium, and Long
delay) at once. For example, to
use the short and middle heads,
select S+M.
Repeat Rate #1 0–127 Sets the tape speed.
This corresponds to the delay
time in a contemporary delay ef-
fect.
Intensity #2 0–127 Sets the repeat times of the de-
layed sound.
This is analogous to a contempo-
rary delay’s feedback setting.
Bass -100– +100 These are the echo sound’s bass
and treble adjustments.
When set to 0, they make no
change to the sound.
Treble
Head S Pan L63–63R These are the pan (left-right) set-
tings for each of the heads for
Short, Medium, and Long delay
time.
* This parameter does not
appear on the original RE-201.
Head M Pan
Head L Pan
Tape Distortion 0–5 Adds the distortion characteris-
tic of tape.
The distortion gets more intense
as the value is increased.
W/F Rate 0–127 Frequency of the wow and flut-
ter modulation
The wavering of multiple pitch-
es that appears from tape wear
and irregularities in rotation is
called wow and flutter.
W/F Depth 0–127 Modulation depth of the wow
and flutter
Echo Level 0–127 Volume of the echo sound.
