Mono/Mono Parallel (Mono//Mono)
109: P4EQ // P4EQ (Parametric 4-Band EQ // Parametric 4-
Band EQ) through 153: BPM Dl // BPM Dl (Multitap BPM
Delay // Multitap BPM Delay) are parallel effects.
The pan and effect balance of each effect can be set
independently.
In the screen, the L-side is shown as [1], and the R-side as
[2].
These provide various combinations of 4-band EQ,
Compressor, Limiter, Exciter, Overdrive, Wah, Chorus/
Flanger, Phaser, and Multitap Delay., as described below.
