RE3 to RE7: Effect Amount
Displayed as: FxnAmnt (where n=1 to 5)
Initial value: 64
Range of adjustment: 0 to 127
The precise function of this parameter depends on which FX device is loaded into the slot.
See the table below for a summary. The five controls are identical, and there is one for each
slot. If the slot is bypassed, the encoder for that slot doesn’t do anything.
FX TYPE ADJUSTED PARAMETER
Compressor Level
EQ Level
Distortion Amount or bit/sample rate reduction
Delay Send and Return levels
Chorus Level
Reverb Send and Return levels
Gator Level
RE8: FX Level
Displayed as: FXWetLvl
Initial value: 127
Range of adjustment: 0 to 127
This adjusts the overall level of the processed signal (which is then mixed with the unproc-
essed signal). Note that the individual contributions of the processor in each FX Slot can
be adjusted with RE3 to RE7 (see below).
FX Menu Page 4 – FX parameters
The menu which appears as Page 4 is determined by the SELECT buttons [10], which can
be pressed to scroll up or down through the five FX slots. A slot which has no FX device
loaded will display the following message:
Each FX device has its own menu; these are described in turn below.
EQ Menu
One equaliser device is available. It can be loaded into any FX slot.
The equaliser is a three-band ‘swept’ type, with cut/boost and frequency controls for each
band. The LF and HF sections are second-order (slope of 12 dB/octave) shelving filters,
and the MF section is a bell-response filter.
Note that FXAmount parameter should be set to 127 for the full gain range of
RE2, RE3 and RE4 to be available.
RE1: Not used.
RE2: LF Cut/Boost
Displayed as: EQBasLvl
Initial value: 0
Range of adjustment: -64 to +63
This parameter controls the LF response of the equaliser; a value of 0 gives a flat response
in the LF region, positive values will give a rise in the LF response – i.e., more bass, and
negative values will have the opposite effect. The range of adjustment is ±12 dB (with
FXAmount set to 127).
RE3: MF Cut/Boost
Displayed as: EQMidLvl
Initial value: 0
Range of adjustment: -64 to +63
This parameter controls the MF response of the equaliser; a value of 0 gives a flat response
in the MF region, positive values will give a rise in the MF response – i.e., more mid-
frequencies (the voice region of the audio spectrum), and negative values will accordingly
reduce the MF response. The range of adjustment is ±12 dB (with FXAmount set to 127).
RE4: HF Cut/Boost
Displayed as: EQTrbLvl
Initial value: 0
Range of adjustment: -64 to +63
This parameter controls the HF response of the equaliser; a value of 0 gives a flat response
in the HF region, positive values will give a rise in the HF response – i.e., more treble, and
negative values less treble. The range of adjustment is ±12 dB (with FXAmount set to 127).
RE5: LF Frequency
Displayed as: EQBasFrq
Initial value: 64
Range of adjustment: 0 to 127
The equaliser is a “swept” type, which means that in addition to being able to increase or
decrease the treble, mid or bass, you can also control the frequency band over which the
Cut/Boost controls are effective – i.e., just what is meant by “bass”, “mid” and “treble”.
This gives you much more accurate control over the frequency response. Increasing the
value of EQBasFrq increases the frequency below which the LF cut/boost control (RE2)
is effective, so in general, RE2 will have more effect on the sound the higher the value of
EQBasFrq. Decreasing the value of EQBasFrq will lower the frequency below which
the cut/boost control is effective with a value of 0 corresponding to approx. 140 Hz . The
maximum value of 127 corresponds to about 880 Hz and the default value of 64 to about
500 Hz.
RE6: MF Frequency
Displayed as: EQMidFrq
Initial value: 64
Range of adjustment: 0 to 127
Increasing the value of this parameter increases the “centre” frequency of the MF re-
sponse. The centre frequency is the one that gets the maximum amount of cut or boost as
you adjust RE3, and this control will have a proportionately decreasing effect on frequen-
cies above and below the centre frequency. The range of adjustment is from 440 Hz
(value = 0) to 2.2 kHz (value = 127). The default value of 64 corresponds to
approximately 1.2 kHz.
RE7: HF Frequency
Displayed as: EQTrbFrq
Initial value: 64
Range of adjustment: 0 to 127
Decreasing the value of EQTrbFrq decreases the frequency above which the HF cut/boost
control (RE3) is effective, so in general, RE3 will have more effect on the sound the lower
the value of EQTrbFrq. Increasing the value of EQTrbFrq will raise the frequency above
which the cut/boost control is effective, with a value of 127 corresponding to about 4.4 kHz.
A value of 0 corresponds to about 650 Hz and the default value of 64 to about 2 kHz.
RE8: Not used.
Compressor Menu
Two compressor devices are available. These can be loaded into any two FX slots. Their
facilities are identical; the example below illustrates Compressor 1.
The compressors can be used to reduce the dynamic range of the synth sound/Input
audio, which gives the effect of “thickening” the sound and/or giving it more “punch” or
impact. They are particularly effective on sounds with a strong percussive content.
