Parameter Range Description
EQ Input Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Adjusts the input level trim to the EQs to eliminate the possibility of
clipping boosted signals.
EQ Output Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Controls the gain coming out of the parametric EQ.
Mid 1 Fc 10Hz to 20.0kHz Sets the center of the mid frequency parametric.
Mid 1 Q 1.0 to 40.0 This parameter is a bandwidth control that determines the width of the
resonant peak at the center frequency band. This parameter is equal to the
cutoff frequency divided by the bandwidth. By raising the value, you can
produce a narrower bandwidth.
Mid 1 Gain Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Sets the amount of boost or cut applied to this mid frequency shelf.
Diffusion 1 -99% to +99% Sets the diffusion amount of the first diffuser.
Diffus Time 1 0ms to 62ms Sets the delay time of the first diffuser.
Diffusion 2 -99% to +99% Sets the diffusion amount of the second diffuser.
Diffus Time 2 0ms to 62ms Sets the delay time of the second diffuser.
Diffusion 3 -99% to +99% Sets the diffusion amount of the third diffuser.
Diffus Time 3 0ms to 62ms Sets the delay time of the third diffuser.
Diffusion 4 -99% to +99% Sets the diffusion amount of the fourth diffuser.
Diffus Time 4 0ms to 62ms Sets the delay time of the fourth diffuser.
Dly Interval Uniform, Linear+, Linear-,
Expon.+, Expon.-, Random
Controls the space of the taps within the DDL.
MaxDlyTime 1/1 Sys to 1/32 Sys, 0ms to
500ms
Controls the maximum delay time.
Dly Smoothing 0ms to 500ms Controls the amount of time it takes to change from one Dly Max Time
setting to another. Low values result in more clicking but less detuning.
High values result in less clicking but more detuning.
Feedback Tap 1 to 9 Selects one of the nine taps to be fed back into the input of the effect.
Dly Feedback -99% to +99% Determines the amount of signal that will be fed from the output back
into the input, increasing the number of repeats in the delay.
Dly Damping 10Hz to 20.0kHz Controls the cutoff of a low pass filter on the feedback signal, which
adjusts the amount of damping to the feedback signals. The higher the
number, the more the signals are damped.
Dly Levels Uniform, Linear+, Linear-,
Expon.+, Expon.-, Random
Controls the relative levels of the taps.
Dly Max Level 0 to 100 Controls the maximum level that any one tap can attain.
Dly Pan Centered, Alternating, L-
>R, R->L, Center->Out,
Out->Center, Random
Controls the panning of the taps in the stereo field.
Dly Spread 0 to 100 Controls the width of the stereo field. A setting of 0 is the narrowest
(mono)—a setting of 100 is the widest (full stereo).
