Eects
18: Slicer
(Slicer)
By applying successive cuts to the sound, this eect turns a
conventional sound into a sound that appears to be played as a
backing phrase. This is especially eective when applied to sustain-
type sounds.
You can use MFX CONTROL to restart the step sequence from the
beginning (p. 54).

Parameter Value Explanation
Step 01–16 0–127 Level at each step
Sync Hz, NOTE
Hz: The Rate value is specied in Hz.
NOTE: The Rate value is specied as
a note value.
Rate #
0.05–10.00 Hz,
note
Rate at which the 16-step sequence
will cycle
Attack # 0–127
Speed at which the level changes
between steps
In Sync Sw
(Input Sync Sw)
OFF, ON
Species whether an input note will
cause the sequence to resume from
the rst step of the sequence (ON)
or not (OFF)
In Sync Thre
(Input Sync Threshold)
0–127
Volume at which an input note will
be detected
Mode LEGATO, SLASH
Sets the manner in which the
volume changes as one step
progresses to the next.
LEGATO: The change in volume
from one step’s level to the next
remains unaltered. If the level of a
following step is the same as the one
preceding it, there is no change in
volume.
SLASH: The level is momentarily
set to 0 before progressing to the
level of the next step. This change
in volume occurs even if the level of
the following step is the same as the
preceding step.
Shue # 0–127
Timing of volume changes in levels
for even-numbered steps (step 2,
step 4, step 6...). The higher the
value, the later the beat progresses.
Level 0–127 Output volume
19: Rotary 1
(Rotary 1)
This simulates a classic rotary speaker of the past.
Since the operation of the high-frequency and low-frequency rotors
can be specied independently, the distinctive modulation can be
reproduced realistically. This is most eective on organ tones.

Parameter Value Explanation
Speed # SLOW, FAST
Simultaneously switch the rotational
speed of the low frequency rotor
and high frequency rotor.
SLOW: Slows down the rotation to
the Slow Rate.
FAST: Speeds up the rotation to the
Fast Rate.
Wf Slow
(Woofer Slow Speed)
0.05–10.00 Hz
Slow speed (SLOW) of the low
frequency rotor
Wf Fast
(Woofer Fast Speed)
0.05–10.00 Hz
Fast speed (FAST) of the low
frequency rotor
Wf Accel
(Woofer Acceleration)
0–15
Adjusts the time it takes the low
frequency rotor to reach the newly
selected speed when switching from
fast to slow (or slow to fast) speed.
Wf Level
(Woofer Level)
0–127 Volume of the low frequency rotor
Tw Slow
(Tweeter Slow Speed)
0.05–10.00 Hz
Settings of the high frequency rotor
The parameters are the same as for
the low frequency rotor
Tw Fast
(Tweeter Fast Speed)
0.05–10.00 Hz
Tw Accel
(Tweeter Acceleration)
0–15
Tw Level
(Tweeter Level)
0–127
Separation 0–127 Spatial dispersion of the sound
