Effects List
38: Phonograph
This effect reproduces the sound of an analog record played on a
record player. This includes the various noises with the characteristic
of records and the uneven rotation of older turntables.

39: Radio Tuning
This effect reproduces the sound of an AM radio playing.

PS Coarse -12– +12 semi-
tone
Specifies the pitch shift amount
in semitone steps.
PS Fine -100– +100 cent Adjusts the pitch shift amount in
2-cent steps (1 cent = 1/100 of a
semitone).
PS Balance DRY100:0WET–
DRY0:100WET
Volume balance between the di-
rect sound (DRY) and the effect
sound (WET)
Phaser Manual 0–127 Specifies the center frequency at
which the sound is modulated.
Phaser Rate 0.05–10.0 Hz,
note
Specifies the frequency of mod-
ulation.
Phaser Depth 0–127 Specifies the depth of modula-
tion.
Phaser Reso-
nance
0–127 Specifies the amount of feed-
back for the phaser.
Higher settings will give the
sound a stronger character.
Phaser Mix Lev-
el
0–127 Specifies the volume of the
phase-shifted sound, relative to
the direct sound.
Delay Time 0–650 ms, note Adjusts the delay time from the
direct sound until the delay
sound is heard.
Delay Feedback -98– +98 % Adjusts the proportion of the de-
lay sound that is fed back into
the effect. Negative (-) settings
will invert the phase.
Low Damp Freq 50–4000 Hz Adjusts the frequency below
which sound fed back to the ef-
fect will be cut.
The Low Damp function damps
the low frequency band of the
delay sound quicker than other
bands, which makes for a clearer
delay effect.
Low Damp
Gain
-36–0 dB Degree of Low Damp
Hi Damp Freq 2000–20000 Hz Adjusts the frequency above
which sound fed back to the ef-
fect will be cut.
High Damp, by attenuating the
higher frequencies first, makes
the delay sound more natural.
Hi Damp Gain -36–0 dB Degree of High Damp
Delay Level 0–127 Volume of the delay sound.

Parameter Value Description
Input Mode MONO, STE-
REO
Use this setting to select either a
stereo or monaural record play-
er for the effect.
Signal Dist 0–127 Degree of distortion
Frequency
Range
0–127 Sets the frequency response of
the record player.
Lowering the value degrades
the frequency characteristics,
making the sound resemble that
from an older system.
Disk Type LP, EP, SP Sets the turntable rotation
speed.
LP: 33 1/3 r.p.m.
EP: 45 r.p.m.
SP: 78 r.p.m.
Total Noise #1 0–127 Total noise level.
Scratch 0–127 Scratches on the record.
Dust 0–127 Dust on the record.
Hiss 0–127 Continuous hissing noise.
* These settings add the typical record’s noise. The noises increase as
the values are raised. Set each of the Scratch, Dust, and Hiss noise
levels to get a balance, the adjust the overall amount of noise with the
Total Noise Level control.
Total Wow/
Flutter #2
0–127 Total wow and flutter.
Wow 0–127 Wow, long cycle rotational ir-
regularity.
Flutter 0–127 Flutter, short cycle rotational ir-
regularity.
Random 0–127 Random rotational irregularity.
These settings determine the rotational irregularities of the record
player. Set each of the Wow, Flutter, and Random levels to get a bal-
ance, the adjust the overall depth of the effect with the Total Wow/
Flutter control.
Balance DRY100:0WET–
DRY0:100WET
Volume balance between the di-
rect sound (DRY) and the effect
sound (WET)
Parameter Value Description
Tuning #1 -50– +50 Adjusts the degree of noise that
occurs when tuning a radio.
Noise Level #2 0–127 Sets the noise level.
Frequency
Range #3
0–127 Sets the frequency response of
the radio.
Lowering the value worsens the
frequency characteristics, mak-
ing the sound appear to be com-
ing from a tiny radio speaker.
Balance DRY100:0WET–
DRY0:100WET
