Noise Gate
A Noise Gate is designed to eliminate hiss and ambient noise while you are not playing. A Noise Gate
can also be used to create an automatic swell in volume. The GNX4 includes two different types of
Noise Gates:Silencer
™
and Pluck.The Silencer
™
operates as a standard Noise Gate.The Pluck feature is
designed to close after every note (depending on the Pluck Sensitivity).This allows automatic volume
swells to occur on a note by note basis.
Gate On/Off - The Status button turns the Noise Gate (
gate) on and off.
Gate Type - Knob 1 selects between the Silencer
™
(Silencer) or Pluck (PLUCK) type of Noise Gates.
Gate Threshold - Knob 2 sets the signal strength required to open or close the Noise Gate. The
Gate Threshold (
THRESHld) parameter ranges from 0 (opens easily) to 99 (requires
strong signals to open).
Gate Attack - Knob 3 adjusts the length of time it takes the gate to open (
ATTACK) and the signal to
become audible once the Threshold has been exceeded.Ranges from
0 (immediate
signal),to 9 (This setting will gradually ramp up the volume).
Pluck Sensitivity - Knob 4 selects the threshold (
PLUCKSNS) where the Gate re-triggers when using
the Pluck type Noise Gate. This parameter is only available when Pluck is the
selected type of Noise Gate. Ranges from
0 (requires strong signals) to 99 (re-
triggers with weak signals).
Knob 5 has no function when the Noise Gate is selected.
Chorus/Mod Effects
The Modulation Effects group is a multi-function module allowing you to select effects such as: Chorus,
Flanger,Phaser,Triggered Flanger,Triggered Phaser,Tremolo,Panner,Vibrato,Rotary Speaker,AutoYa
™
,
YaYa
™
,SynthTalk
™
,Envelope Filter (auto wah), Detune, and Pitch Shift. Only one of the effects in this row
can be used at a time. After selecting the type of effect in this module, the Knobs 2-5 can then be used
to adjust the individual parameters associated with the selected effect. The following pages describe each
effect and their parameters in more detail.
Chorus/Mod Effects On/Off -When the Chorus/Mod group is selected,the Status button turns the
Chorus/Mod Effects module on and off.
Chorus/Mod Effects Select - Knob 1 selects whether the module is a Chorus (Chorus),Flanger
(Flanger),Phaser (Phaser),Triggered Flanger (trigflng),Triggered
Phaser (trigphas),Tremolo (TREMOLO),Panner (PANNER),Vibrato
(VIBRATO),Rotary (ROTARY),AutoYa (AUTOYA),YaYa (YAYA),
SynthTalk (SYNTHTLK),Envelope Filter (ENVELOPE),Detune
(DETUNE),Pitch Shift (PITCH).
Chorus
A Chorus adds a short delay to your signal.The delayed signal is modulated in and out of tune and
then mixed back with the original signal to create a thicker sound.
Parameter 1 - Knob 2 adjusts the rate (
Speed) of the modulation. Ranges from 0 to 99.
Parameter 2 - Knob 3 adjusts the intensity (
Depth) of the modulation. Ranges from 0 to 99.
Parameter 3 - Knob 4 adjusts the PreDelay (
PREDeLaY) or length of time before the Chorus effect
is applied to the input signal. Ranges from
1 to 20.
*Parameter 4 - Selects the waveform used by the Chorus. Waveforms include:Triangle, Sine, and
Square. Ranges from
1 to 20.
*Parameter 5 - Adjusts the left to right balance of the wet signal, Ranges from L
99 to R 99.
Mod Level - Knob 5 controls the level (mod levl) of the Chorus. Ranges from 0 to 99.
*These Parameters are only available using the X-E
DIT
™
Editor/Librarian software.
