The MICRO1 input signal passes through an effect chain set up as follows:
• ON/OFF: enables or disables microphone input (corresponds to pressing the MICRO
button on the front panel).
• Preset: touch this part of the screen to select a preset microphone setting from
STANDARD, MELLOW, SMALL, LARGE, GATED, LIVE, ECHO ONLY, SPECIAL EFX1,
SPECIAL EFX2, DOUBLE VOICE and User Preset 1 to 10. Each preset has different
parameters of volume, reverb, echo, effects and equalizer parameters. Use the data
knob to scroll through the available knob, or touch name to load a preset.
• Vol.: adjust the output volume of the data knob. The value ranges from 0 to 127.
• Reverb: this effect, like the three that follow at the bottom of the screen, has a
checkmark that can be tapped to enable or disable the effect. Touch the Reverb icon
to select one of the available options: ROOM 1, ROOM 2, ROOM 3, HALL 1, HALL 2,
HALL 3, PLATE 1 and PLATE 2. Press the Edit button on the screen to open the reverb
customization page.
• REV: Adjusts the amount of delivery of the selected reverb.
• Equalizer: this is a four-band parametric equalizer: see below the paragraph
dedicated to the EQ of the microphone.
• Echo Type: it is a replica of a signal after a certain amount of time. Select a delay
value from Mono, Stereo, Triplet, Multitap, Reflection, Stage, PingPong, and EchoTap.
• Compression: reduces dynamic range. Select a compression preset between Compr -
15dB, Compr -18dB, Compr -21 dB, Compr -24dB, Limiter -6dB, and Limiter -18 dB.
Each preset has a different threshold and ratio values (limiters have an infinity ratio
value).
• Pitch Shift: increases or decreases the intonation of the voice, drastically changing
the sound of the voice. Select a preset from Male, Female, Robot, Duck, Bear, Mouse,
Dark, Cartoon, Double Choir.
• Talk: This mutes (turns off) the effects on the signal in order to use the microphone to
speak and not to sing.
• Talk Mode: to use when Talk is enabled. In general, it acts on the reverberation by
reducing its length to increase speech comprehension in the room. Possible values:
No EFX , Short1 and Short2.
• NOISE GATE: to set the volume threshold beyond which the audio signal should not
exceed (-64 dB, -56 dB, -48 dB, -40 dB, -32 dB, -24dB). The value OFF stands for NOISE
GATE inactive.
• MICRO 2: the MICRO 2 input could also be exceptionally used for a microphone. In
the frame at the bottom right of the screen, you can activate it ON/OFF, adjust the
volume and the reverb send.
At the bottom of the screen, the FACTORY RESTORE and FACTORY OVERWRITE buttons
allow you to restore the factory parameters or replace them with the current values,
respectively.
