EFFECTS
This section applies chorus, phasing, or ensemble effects to the basic program. It is very helpful in creating fat
sounds, rotary speaker effects, and textures that range from warm and realistic to shimmering and futuristic. All
settings can be stored in program memory along with the other control settings.
MODE SPEED/INTENSITY
EFFECTS
1) MODE
This selects the desired effect:
CHORUS: relatively subtle, "ambience" type of effect,
PHASE: more pronounced, with a mild resonant edge,
ENSEMBLE: produces a heavy, complex modulation, which is very useful for strings, orchestral sounds, and
similar massive textures.
OFF: (no effects processing).
2) SPEED/INTENSITY
This control functions differently for Chorus and Phase than for Ensemble. In Chorus and Phase modes, it
determines both the cyclic speed (frequency) and the depth of the effect (there is a built-in MG just for the effects
section). The speed of the effect increases as you turn the control clockwise (towards 10). In order to avoid
unnatural effects, the modulation depth is reduced automatically as speed increases. This allows deep sweeping
effects at low speeds and pulsating effects with the proper depth at higher speeds.
In Ensemble mode, this control determines only the intensity of the effect. Lower settings produce milder
effects. Maximum intensity is produced at 10. The complex modulation patterns used in this mode make it
unnecessary to adjust speed.
