Editing an Instrument’s Sound (INST Edit)
Parameter Value Explanation
PreEqH
-INF, -53.0dB–
0.0dB–+10.0dB
Specifies the high-frequency level of
the EQ that is applied before distorting
the sound.
By slightly decreasing the high-
frequency level, you can reduce
the higher-order partials that are
generated when the sound is
distorted.
PostEqFreq 0–255
Specifies the center frequency of the
EQ that is applied after distorting the
sound.
PostEqL
-INF, -53.0dB–
0.0dB–+10.0dB
Specifies the low-frequency level of
the EQ that is applied after distorting
the sound.
PostEqH
-INF, -53.0dB–
0.0dB–+10.0dB
Specifies the high-frequency level of
the EQ that is applied after distorting
the sound.
COMP+DRV
Balance
INST [CTRL] *4
OFF, 1–255
Adjusts the overall COMP+DRV effect.
With a setting of 255, the effect is at
100%.
CmpBalance OFF, 1–255
Adjusts the compression effect.
With a setting of 255, the compression
effect is at 100%.
DrvBalance OFF, 1–255
Adjusts the drive effect.
With a setting of 255, the drive effect
is at 100%.
CmpAttack 0–255
Specifies the time from when the
input exceeds the level specified by
Thre until the volume is compressed.
As you increase the Attack value
(lengthening the time), the sound’s
attack is compressed less.
CmpRelease 0–255
Specifies the time from when the
input falls below the level specified by
Thre until compression stops being
applied.
As you increase the Release value
(lengthening the time), the sound has
more sustain.
CmpThre -40dB–0dB
Specifies the level at which
compression begins.
Set a lower value for Thre if you want
to apply the effect deeply, or if the
input level is low.
Setting a low level for Thre will also
decrease the output level, so raise the
Gain to make adjustments.
CmpGain
-40dB–0dB–
+40dB
Specifies the output level.
Set this so that the volume is
approximately the same whether
MASTER FX Sw is on or off.
CmpRatio
1: 1.00, 1: 1.12,
1: 1.25, 1: 1.40,
1: 1.60, 1: 1.80,
1: 2.00, 1: 2.50,
1: 3.20, 1: 4.00,
1: 5.60, 1: 8.00,
1: 16.0, 1: INF
Specifies the compression ratio.
The higher the ratio, the more
compression is applied to levels that
exceed the Thre setting.
If the ratio is set to 1: INF, the sound
will not become any louder than the
level specified by Thre.
CmpKnee
HARD, SOFT1,
SOFT2, SOFT3,
SOFT4, SOFT5,
SOFT6, SOFT7,
SOFT8, SOFT9
Adjusts how compression is applied.
The HARD setting applies compression
abruptly, producing a hard sound.
The SOFT setting applies compression
gently, producing a soft sound.
DrvDrive 0–255
Adjusts the depth of distortion.
Because increasing the Drive also
increases the output level, make
adjustments by lowering the Level.
Parameter Value Explanation
DrvLevel 0–255
Specifies the output level.
Set this so that the volume is
approximately the same whether
MASTER FX Sw is on or off.
DrvHpF 0–255
Specifies the frequency below which
the low-frequency region of the input
is cut.
As you raise the HpFreq value, the
region being cut extends into the
high-frequency region.
DrvPreF 0–255
Specifies the center frequency of the
EQ that is applied before distorting
the sound.
DrvPreL
-INF, -53.0dB–
0.0dB–+10.0dB
Specifies the low-frequency level of
the EQ that is applied before distorting
the sound.
DrvPreH
-INF, -53.0dB–
0.0dB–+10.0dB
Specifies the high-frequency level of
the EQ that is applied before distorting
the sound.
By slightly decreasing the high-
frequency level, you can reduce
the higher-order partials that are
generated when the sound is
distorted.
DrvPstF 0–255
Specifies the center frequency of the
EQ that is applied after distorting the
sound.
DrvPstL
-INF, -53.0dB–
0.0dB–+10.0dB
Specifies the low-frequency level of
the EQ that is applied after distorting
the sound.
DrvPstH
-INF, -53.0dB–
0.0dB–+10.0dB
Specifies the high-frequency level of
the EQ that is applied after distorting
the sound.
CRUSHER
Balance
INST [CTRL] *4
OFF, 1–255
Adjusts the lo-fi effect.
With a setting of 255, the lo-fi effect is
at 100%.
SampleRate 0–255
Specifies the sampling frequency at
which CRUSHER resamples the sound.
Higher settings of SampleRate lower
the sampling frequency, producing a
more lo-fi sound.
Filter 0–255
Specifies the cutoff frequency of the
LFP that is applied before CRUSHER
resamples the sound.
By lowering the Filter value, you can
reduce harsh high-frequency noise.
*4 If you set the KIT: CTRL Sel parameter to InstFX, you can use
the [CTRL] knobs of the instrument edit section to control this.
(You can also set this in the screen that appears when you press
the [CTRL SELECT] button.)
