These are the settings for the noise gates and filters that are applied to the mic or other audio signal
connected to the MIC IN CONDENSER or DYNAMIC jack.
Use the MIC knob to configure the mic input.
1. Gate Threshold (Gate Thres) [0...127]
Sets the level at which the mic input is silenced.
The noise gate can be used to silence quieter sounds and allow louder sounds to pass through.
If the mic is picking up unwanted noise when you raise the mic volume, you can set this value so that
any noise that’s quieter than the Gate Threshold is cut. This preserves only the input audio you want,
such as your vocals.
Lower values allow sounds at lower volumes to pass through as well. This is recommended when
you’re playing in quieter places. Higher values make it easier to cut through loud noise.
Note: If this setting is set excessively high, the audio signal input will also be cut, making it difficult to
apply the vocal processor effects.
2. Gate Speed (GateSpeed) [0...127]
Sets how quickly the gate responds to mic input signals.
Lower values for this setting make the gate operate quicker, making the rises and falls in volume
sound clear. Higher values make the gate operate slower, reducing the chance of unwanted dropouts
in the sound.
The gate works differently according to the Gate Threshold setting. If the Gate Threshold value is
high, this effect is triggered more readily. If the threshold value is 0, no effect is applied.
3. High Pass Filter (HPF) [0...127]
Cuts the low-end frequencies of the audio signal input from the MIC IN (CONDENSER and DYNAMIC)
jacks. This makes the sounds lighter and clearer by eliminating any murky-sounding low-end audio.
4. NoteOn Threshold (NoteThres) [0...127]
Sets the level at which audio signals are detected as notes after the Gate Threshold and High Pass Fil-
ter are applied.
If you continue using this instrument while the brightness is set to a high value, this has an
effect on the life of the display.
