INST Parameters
INST FX
Parameter Value Explanation
Type
Selects the type of INST FX.
THRU No INST FX effect is applied.
HPF
High-pass filter (cuts the low-frequency
region)
LPF
Low-pass filter (cuts the high-frequency
region)
LPF/HPF
Low-pass filter / High-pass filter (cuts the
high or low-frequency region)
H BOOST
High boost (boosts the high-frequency
region)
L BOOST
Low boost (boosts the low-frequency
region)
L/H BOOST
Low boost / High boost (boosts the low or
high-frequency region)
ISOLATOR
Adjusts the balance of the low, mid, and
high-frequency regions.
TRANSIENT
Emphasizes or softens the attack and
release.
COMPRESSOR
Compresses loud input, making the
maximum levels more consistent.
DRIVE Uncolored distortion.
COMP+DRV
Applies COMPRESSOR and then applies
DRIVE (mono).
CRUSHER Produces a lo-fi effect (mono).
SATURATOR This effect combines overdrive and filter.
FREQ SHIFT
Converts the input to a higher or lower
frequency.
RING MOD
Converts the input to a high frequency
and a low frequency.
SPREAD Adds spaciousness to the input.
HPF
Depth
INST [CTRL] *3
0–255
Specifies the cutoff frequency.
Increasing the Depth value raises the cutoff
frequency, deepening the HPF effect.
Resonance
0–255 Specifies the amount of resonance.
Type
-24dB, -18dB,
-12dB
Specifies the filter type.
Gain
-40dB–0dB–
+40dB
Specifies the output gain of the filter.
Clipper
OFF, ON
Turn this ON if you want to prevent
excessive volume from occurring when
Resonance is raised.
LPF
Depth
INST [CTRL] *3
0–255
Specifies the cutoff frequency.
Increasing the Depth value lowers the
cutoff frequency, deepening the LPF
effect.
Resonance
0–255 Specifies the amount of resonance.
Type
-24dB, -18dB,
-12dB
Specifies the filter type.
Gain
-40dB–0dB–
+40dB
Specifies the output gain of the filter.
Clipper
OFF, ON
Turn this ON if you want to prevent
excessive volume from occurring when
Resonance is raised.
Parameter Value Explanation
LPF/HPF
Depth
INST [CTRL] *3
LPF 127–FLAT–
HPF 127
Specifies the cutoff frequency.
Lowering the Depth value (toward LPF)
applies an LPF effect, lowering the cutoff
frequency.
Raising the Depth value (toward HPF)
applies an HPF effect, raising the cutoff
frequency.
Resonance
0–255 Specifies the amount of resonance.
Type
-24dB, -18dB,
-12dB
Specifies the filter type.
Gain
-40dB–0dB–
+40dB
Specifies the output gain of the filter.
Clipper
OFF, ON
Turn this ON if you want to prevent
excessive volume from occurring when
Resonance is raised.
H BOOST
Boost
INST [CTRL] *3
0–255 Adjusts the amount of boost.
Frequency
0–255
Specifies the frequency above which the
high-frequency region is boosted.
Gain
-40dB–0dB–
+40dB
Specifies the output gain.
L BOOST
Boost
INST [CTRL] *3
0–255 Adjusts the amount of boost.
Frequency
0–255
Specifies the frequency below which the
low-frequency region is boosted.
Gain
-40dB–0dB–
+40dB
Specifies the output gain.
L/H BOOST
Boost
INST FX [CTRL] *5
LOW 127–FLAT–
HIGH 127
Adjusts the amount of boost.
Lowering the Boost value (toward LOW)
boosts the low-frequency region.
Raising the Boost value (toward HIGH)
boosts the high-frequency region.
Frequency
0–255
Specifies the frequency below or above
which the low or highfrequency region is
boosted.
Gain
-40dB–0dB–
+40dB
Specifies the output gain.
ISOLATOR
Balance
INST [CTRL] *3
OFF, 1–255
Adjusts the ISOLATOR effect.
With a setting of 255, the ISOLATOR effect
is at 100%.
Low
0dB–-INF
Adjusts the level of the low-frequency
region.
Mid
0dB–-INF
Adjusts the level of the mid-frequency
region.
High
0dB–-INF
Adjusts the level of the high-frequency
region.
TRANSIENT
EnvDepth
INST [CTRL] *3
0–255
Adjusts the intensity of Attack and
Release.
Attack
-128–0–+127 Emphasizes or softens the attack.
Release
-128–0–+127 Emphasizes or softens the release.
COMPRESSOR
Balance
INST [CTRL] *3
OFF, 1–255
Adjusts the compression effect.
With a setting of 255, the compression
effect is at 100%.
