CHORUS+DELAY
This is a monaural composite effect that connects chorus and delay in series.
COMPRESSOR/LIMITER
This monaural effect compresses the dynamic range by restraining the level of signals
that exceed a specified level (the threshold). It also provides a noise gate that can be used
to eliminate noise heard while an instrument is not being played.
DELAY>MONO
This is a conventional delay effect. The effect itself is mono-in/mono-out, but you can
adjust the panning of the effect sound if you are using stereo playback.
Parameter Range Function
Rate 0.1Hz–10.0Hz Adjusts the LFO speed of the chorus effect.
Depth 0–127 Adjusts the LFO depth of the chorus effect
Feedback 0–127 Adjusts the amount of feedback for the chorus effect.
Delay 1ms–1500ms Adjusts the delay time of the delay effect.
Feedback 0–127 Adjusts the amount of feedback for the delay effect.
Bounce ON/OFF
If this is ON, the delay sound will be panned alternately to left
and right for stereo playback.
Wet/Dry 100/0–0/100
Adjusts the balance of the effect sound and dry sound. (With a
setting of 100/0, only the effect sound is output.)
Effect ON/OFF Switches the effect on/off.
Parameter Range Function
Threshold –60dB–0dB Adjusts the threshold of the compressor/limiter.
Ratio 1:2–1:100
Adjusts the compression ratio for the signal that exceeds the
threshold.
Output –20dB–+20dB Adjusts the output level of the effect sound.
Attack 0–127 Adjusts the attack of the effect.
Release 0–127 Adjusts the release of the effect.
Threshold –60dB–0dB Adjusts the level at which the noise gate will open.
Release 0–127 Adjusts the release time of the noise gate.
Detect PEAK/RMS
Selects whether the compressor/limiter will operate according
to changes in the peak level of the signal (PEAK), or according
to changes in the averaged level (RMS).
Wet/Dry 100/0–0/100
Adjusts the balance of the effect sound and dry sound. (With a
setting of 100/0, only the effect sound is output.)
Effect ON/OFF Switches the effect on/off.
Parameter Range Function
Delay 1ms–1500ms Adjusts the delay time.
Feedback 0–127 Adjusts the amount of delay feedback.
HFdamp 20Hz–20kHz
Adjusts the frequency at which the high-frequency range of the
feedback sound will be cut.
Pan L63–MID–R63 Adjusts the panning of the effect sound.
Wet/Dry 100/0–0/100
Adjusts the balance of the effect sound and dry sound. (With a
setting of 100/0, only the effect sound is output.)
Effect ON/OFF Switches the effect on/off.
