Recording/playing back a song
(4) Using insert effects
The BR-1180/1180CD features two internal effects systems,
the insert effects and loop effects. Here’s how to use insert
effects.
What is an insert effect?
An effect that is applied directly to a specific signal line (in
the case of the BR-1180/1180CD, an input instrument or mic,
or a playback track) is called an insert effect. The effect
pedals that a guitarist connects between his guitar and amp
are a type of insert effect. Loop effects, on the other hand, are
effects connected to the send/return jack of mixers and other
similar devices.(See p. 40.)
Switch effect patches
The BR-1180/1180CD provides numerous effects for vocals,
guitar, etc., and two or more of these effects can be used
simultaneously. Such a combination of effects (i.e., the types
of the effects used and the order in which they are connected)
is called an “algorithm.”
Each effect in an algorithm offers a certain number of
parameters, which allow the sound to be altered (similar to
tweaking the knobs on a stomp pedal). The algorithm and its
parameter settings are bundled into units called “effect
patches.”
By changing the effect patch, you can simultaneously change
the stored effect combinations, their on/off status, and the
parameter settings, and completely change the sound.
■ Procedure
1. Press [EFFECTS].
fig.Q02-06
2. Press CURSOR [ ] to select a Patch number.
Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial to select patches
consecutively, and the effect sound will also change. At
this time if Effect is off, it will be switched off
automatically when you change effect patches, so that
the effect will be applied. The patch name and the name
of the algorithm is shown in the center of the screen.
Select the desired effect patch.
Some of the provided effect patches will provide an
enhanced effect when you record in stereo. For recording
in stereo, refer to “Selecting the recording track” (p. 36).
“Effect patch list” (separate document).
“Insert effect algorithm list” (p. 143)
3. Press [EXIT] to return to the top screen.
For more details regarding the use of insert effects, refer
to “Using the insert effects” (p. 51).
Recording without effects
1. Press [EFFECTS].

2. Press [EFFECTS] again to select “FX : OFF” (effects off).
When the effects are off, the [EFFECTS] indicator goes
out, and sounds are output without effects.

When you want to turn the effects back on, press
[EFFECTS] again. “FX : ON” reappears in the display,
and the effects are turned on.
3. Press [EXIT] to return to the top screen.
