high-range portion of the sound and reflect only the low range. The
proportion of high-range sound that is lost is represented by the high
damp parameter.
-Effects which add spatial characteristics to sound, but
can be used as sound elements
There are some effects which add spatial characteristics to sound, but
are also suited for use as elements of the sound synthesis process.
These include early reflections, delay, chorus, and flanger effects.
E Early Reflections
This effect reproduces only the early reflections segment of the reverb
effect. By using only the early reflections, you can add weight to a
sound or create effects like those added by gated reverb. The 01/W
pro lets you choose from three types of early reflection effects:
10:Early Ref 1 through 12:Early Ref 3. The volume of the reflections
provided by 12: Early Ref 3. grows in level instead of fading away.
H Delay
While reverb and delay both add delayed sounds to the dry sound,
they are nonetheless completely different effects. If reverb is a "hall"
effect, delay is a "mountain echo" effect. While reverb involves a
mass of undistinguishable reflections that fade away as a group, the
delay effect creates discrete delayed sounds at regular intervals. The
amount of time that elapses before the first echo returns is known as
the delay time, while the number of repetitions you hear are called
feedback.
The 01/W pro offers six kinds of delay, from 13: Stereo Delay through
18: Multitap Dly3. While the delay effect was originally devised to add
spatial characteristics to sound, effects such as cross delays and
multi tap delays are best thought of as elements for sound creation.

m Chorus
As its name implies, chorus creates an effect that makes it sound as if
a number of instruments are being played. It is used with a wide
variety of sounds, from electric pianos to strings, guitars, and so on.
When an ensemble piays in unison, variations in the pitch of each
instrument create a sort of warbling in the sound. It is this warbling
effect that gives listeners the impression that a number of instruments
are being played. The chorus effect uses a delay to create similar
variations of pitch.
Changing the delay time of a delay effect alters the pitch of a delayed
sound. The chorus effect uses a low-frequency oscillator (LFO) to
modulate the delay time, creating a signal in which the pitch is con-
stantly fluctuating. When this signal is mixed with the dry sound, it
creates an effect similar to the warbling that is produced by several
instruments being played in unison.
Put simply, chorus is an effect which modulates the time of a delay
effect. The speed at which the LFO oscillates---that is, the speed of
the pitch fluctuations---is called the modulation speed. The amount
by which the LFO modulates the specified delay time, and hence the
pitch, is known as the modulation depth.
The 01/W pro provides you with six types of chorus effects, from
19:Chorus 1 through 24: Symphonic Ens. When listening to these
effects (and all of the following effects), hold down the keys so that
