Appendix

:

The depth of these parameters will be limited if you turn on

“Effect Limit mode”

(p. 20).

*

For FLANGER and PHASER, you can use [MFX] + CTRL 1 knob to adjust the volume balance between the direct sound and effect sound.

*1: You can select the following patterns by turning the CTRL knob.

The TIMING PTN interval will synchronize to the tempo of the longest sample of the samples to which the effect is being applied. However,
if a pattern is playing, the interval will synchronize to the tempo of the pattern.
You can use RATE to adjust the synchronization speed as follows.

RATE maximum (turn the CTRL 2 knob all the way to the right): One cycle of TIMING PTN corresponds to one measure.
RATE minimum (turn the CTRL 2 knob all the way to the left): One cycle of TIMING PTN corresponds to a 32nd note.

By turning the CTRL 2 knob you can change this to any value from a 32nd note up to one measure.

*2: RATE is specified as a note value relative to the tempo of the longest sample of the samples to which the effect is being applied.

Note values that you can specify:

32nd note (t32) / 16th note (t16) / 8th note triplet (t8t) / dotted 16th note (t16.) / 8th note (t8) / quarter note triplet (t4t) / dotted 8th
note (t8.) / quarter note (t4) / half note triplet (t2t) / dotted quarter note (t4.) / half note (t2) / dotted half note (t2.) / whole note (t1)
If a pattern is playing, the tempo of the pattern is used as the reference. If a pattern is playing, or if

“Effect tempo mode”

(p. 20) is set

to synchronize to the tempo of the pattern sequencer, the tempo of the pattern is used as the reference.
