NOISE GATE
This is a monaural effect that silences the signal if it drops below a specified level (thresh-
old). It is convenient to use this to cut any noise that may be heard while you are not play-
ing.
PAN>AUTOPAN
This is an autopan effect that automatically moves the sound between left and right. It
can be used to give the sound a sense of movement and depth.
PAN>TRIGGERPAN
This is an autopan effect that starts when the signal of the specified effect bus A–D
exceeds a given level. You can also use the [F3] (MANUAL) key to start it manually.
